arranging living room furniture w/ front door opens to living room
Comments (2)You might consider moving the sofa to be centered in front of the window and put the chair nearer the door adding a pony wall height bookshelf (with its back to the chair), with or without doors on the entry side, between the chair and the door to create an entry; perhaps something like this: http://thegamersforce.com/ikea-glass-door-bookcase/bookshelf-inspiring-low-bookcase-with-doors-bookcase-with-doors-ikea-dark-brown-bookcase-with-glass-glass-door-ikea-bookcase-singapore-ikea-glass-door-bookcase-ikea-billy-bookcase-glass-door-instruc/ A barrister style bookcase could also work. Such a room divider would give you a place to add a lamp to the room....See MoreEMPTY & the *biggest challenge* is how to set up the main/living room
Comments (24)re: a futon I think they can be iffy in terms of quality, or design. I've run into ones that aren't comfortable as a sofa (too low; too deep of a seat; something), and ones that are too hard for sleeping on. However, my dad has one that opens to a double bed, and it's actually OK for sleeping, and it's OK for sitting. So I would say don't get one unless you're going to be able to look around and find one that's well designed and comfortable, and spring for it. I know my mom looked long and hard for this one. It has drawers underneath, which is nice for storing the pillows, etc., when it's in bed form (which nowadays is never; we just leave it made up anymore, bcs the socializing is done in the living room, and the futon is in the den). But if he expects to have people sleep over, a futon is useful....See MoreHelp! Living Room Challenge
Comments (6)I really like sectionals for families, so I wouldn't retire yours just yet. In its current position, it looks like you can still access the built-ins. If so, leave it as is. A couple of armchairs against the stair wall will round out your seating. Ottomans are also good for a casual perch when entertaining a larger group. If you get a console for the entry, think about stashing a couple underneath it. Another option might be to put the sectional on the stair wall, but I don't know if you have enough clearance there for the chaise. It's often more effective to have subtle interpretations of a theme rather than a literal interpretation. Think about a couple of nautical elements and then reference the theme through more interpretive choices. If you like boats or someone in your family is a sailor, you could place a nice quality one on the mantel or on one of the built-in shelves. Some brass accents, to reference the compasses used in sailing, would be a reference to the theme without being literal. A seascape painting might be nice, too. Or maybe a beach glass lamp to nestle between the two chairs. Here's a collage that interprets some of the elements of a nautical theme. Maybe it'll give you some ideas to try out....See MoreSmall House Living Room Layout Challenges
Comments (18)@kdaustin, we have tried to mockup your room with minor modifications. Styled in Scandinavian this layout has more emphasis on the seating area. the seating arrangement is socio petal which makes inviting gesture to anyone entering the room. Grey sofa looks just fine but does not hesitate to play around with bolder color here. ample space available to have large screen TV with storage around if you are looking for storage in this room. A separate dining space is created around the corner near the window. We have created more layout for your room where we have used room separator and created a cozy rather welcoming space to watch TV it also has a secondary conversation area which you can view here. You can also view this room in a 360 photorealistic view here. You can add or replace furniture and move them around to create your own layouts in interactive 3D designs here and also render your own photorealistic images! Do let us know your feedback on designs we are happy to collaborate and make the perfect designs for your room. Happy decorating !!...See Moretangerinedoor
