Comments (20)What are your room dimensions? What is opposite the fireplace wall? Stairway?? and tv opposite kit.? Do you want the kitchen area to be separated or more a part of this space? I'm not as far as you and I may have a smaller space, 16x16 however behind my couch is our more formal dining space so the room is about 33' long and 17' wide on the other end. I think we could do similar things. I am planning to use a large round ottoman probably 40". I want to be able to rearrange so My sofa will be facing fireplace sometimes. I am dealing with the tv dilemma also. We have hookups to the right of fp and opposite wall of fp. I am thinking of repurposing some unique armoire or antique cab. for tv. Also thought of Hubby doing a retractable television into a piece. Another idea which would work for u too is putting up shelving on your tv wall with various size compartments to display things and have your tv as part of that arrangement. Leaving some empty compartments as well. Or even hanging various size picture frames of same color, perhaps dark charcoal and building that kind of arrangement. Those are some ideas I am playing with. Am I seeing darker color paint above fireplace? I kind of like the contrast with your furniture. It makes it pop more. I can see doing it on the small stairway wall too, just the side facing into the room. Then tying that color into wall with tv. but not necessarily painting it, with fabric etc and bringing in some accent color(s). I think some trees in your corners on fireplace wall would bring the outside in and cozy it up Are you a quilter, or even by putting a quilt or wall hangings up on your tv wall that would be an idea. Sue has room arrangement ideas like I can picture. I think you might be hesitant to use larger scale items for ottomans, etc but I see them working well. I assume you are using those window treatments?? Why is it always easier to give advice to others when I struggle with my own!!! Sorry for getting carried away everyone.

Comments (10)Yes, the chairs and table on the left are not in the room anymore. Those were from before I had gotten the bar. That room is new and I have just been ordering things to try them out and then returning. I do like the bar but thats really the only thing that I am tied to. I have no rug in there now and am looking for suggestions. I am as far from a designer as you can get. I do not have a good eye for these things, but love reading all the advice here. Such great ideas. Thanks!...See MoreNeed to furnish a whole house--affordable furniture suggestions?
Comments (2)That is a tough activity! If it were me, I would identify the pieces that were really important to me and shop for them first. New mattresses, couch, kitchen/dining table and a couple of comfortable chairs. You may have different priorities. Except for mattresses, I would start by looking at the less expensive places - Craig’s list, used and antique furniture stores and the sale areas of local furniture stores. If I couldn’t find anything that worked there, then I would move on to other furniture stores. Furnishing an apartment years ago, I found a high quality couch and matching super comfortable chair in a not my first choice, but workable color in my local area’s best furniture store basement for more than half off. If you find a nice, comfortable, sale couch in a color you hate, you should be able to find a decent cover for it in a color you do like and dress it up with nice pillows. A few lucky finds and compromises like that and suddenly your budget will start looking up. You can start with comfortable but inexpensive chairs for a basic, plain dining table paired with a knock out, keeper rug and dress it up later with better chairs or fancier table. We bought a set of wicker outdoor furniture - two chairs, loveseat, coffee table and an end table - on serious sale for a sitting area in our old house. We bought it just to have something to sit on, but because it was unbelievably comfortable, we ended up loving it and used it for over ten years till it wore out. If you use bedrooms mostly for sleeping, the furniture can be very basic. For years our guest bedroom had a metal mattress frame paired with a fabulous mattress and feather bed, good linens and pillows and everyone who slept there raved because it was so comfortable. No one missed a fancy headboard/bed frame or matching bedroom set. Decide what is most important to you and spend your money on that, and be creative with the remainder for now....See Morelmmcnitt
