Help :(

Hi Nancy, thank you so much for taking time to mock this up for us. We really love your ideas. We never thought to utilize that wall the way you did. Do you think two couches facing each other where the single seats are would work? Just trying to get more seating space. We actually own a black shelf like the one you posted, but are worried it would block the view. Also, what program do you use to mock up spaces like that? Again, THANK YOU so much!

You are welcome. The app is called Amikasa. You can face the couches. The thing to keep in mind is when watching tv you have to turn your head and the person sitting on the end closet to the tv will actually be too close.

Hi Nancy, good point. I think Two chairs is the way to go. Thank you! I’m going to look for that app now. I can’t wait to play around with it :)

Really like @Nancy Ingram's suggestion - the “chaise lounge to enjoy the view” is really great.

@Lou Pimentel We mocked your room to dimensions but for some minor simplifications. Here are some initial thoughts. In the following layout (styled Boho-Glam just for example), the two chairs in the main seating area can both be rotated back to face the windows and the fabulous view. A divider could mount your TV, and create privacy for the dining space. The great view can also be enjoyed from the dining space. There is also a separate conversation space that we feel does justice to your room’s diagonal corner space. As one enters the room, the eye-line is guided towards the kitchen back wall with storage and some decor. This wall could be highlighted more as well, but in the overall look, we feel better this way.

We are working on another layout that some of us like better than the above, so stay tuned.

@Lou Pimentel Here are a couple of different ways to imagine your space. This one below has ample seating facing the great outside view.

This second one has a stunning view as one enters the room. There's also ample open space to move around and lounge too!

Hi Styldod, thank you so much for taking time to help me with this dilemma. I really like your suggestions So many possibilities!! I especially like the lay out of the 2nd one with the light pine colored floor. Again, thank you!!

@Lou Pimentel, Thank you for your feedback.

We have also created a photorealistic 360 view and interactive 3D designs for your room options. You can view all the layout options here. You can make changes by adding/swapping furniture and move them around to create your own layouts here.

Lets us know your feedback on designs, we can also iterate together until you find the perfect layout for your room.

Happy decorating!!!

I would move your dining table back to the odd little enclosed area. Then you have the entire window-facing space to use as your living room, with plenty of options for seating and TV placement. I know the overhead lighting is an issue, but that can be dealt with later, once you decide if you like the arrangement.

If you are readers, you could add some bookshelves to the dining are to make it a combo library/dining, and maybe a reading chair if room.

Styldod, thanks again. I will definitely check out your site.

Rebecca, I love the idea of having all that window space area as the living room; thank you! I’m not sure what area you we’re thinking for the dinning table.

I was thinking the area back next to the kitchen for the dining table.
