Living Room needs help.
Comments (7)@decoenthusiaste: yes the kitchen has upper cabinets. I will take more pics and do a new post for the kitchen. I agree about the overhang. We overlooked that when doing the kitchen work. In this case though function usurps form as the peninsula is a very handy space for quick meals and hanging out (kids). We may re-do the counter top and add an 18" overhang but that might tighten up space in the living room too much. It is another 'design dilemma' we are facing. @celerygirl: thank you for that mock up -- great ideas on the window and art. We do like the red but we also want the space to be calm and inviting. @housegal200: thanks for that great idea on the patterned rug...See MoreMy living room needs help!
Comments (9)I know TV watching is what we all do in these rooms but I really can't stand when a room SCREAMS that is what we do..all your furniture is orientated to the TV..when IMHO it should be facing each other for conversation ease. I also had those horrid vertical blinds in every home we ever purchased. I still remember when my MIL put them on her living room windows. I hated them then when they were all the rage and I hate them now BUT they are expensive and they work fabulously. I discovered hiding them behind immovable curtain panels gave the room the final dressing it needed and added the softness and color that is lacking in blinds. DH made me wood valances that hide all the rods....See MoreLiving room needs help!
Comments (10)First step, decide on layout. I think you may have a tv in right lower corner and if it can be moved, I’d place on right side of fireplace and consider a sectional under window, a long bookcase on opposite wall to balance room and your husband’s chair (with a floor lamp for reading) on an angle facing tv. Chair would be turned to face tv Then comes your color scheme, furniture, and accessories. Look on line for help. I think grey, rust and black will feel cozy. and the rug will have a big influence, so take your time. If you like these ideas, I think the room will be a nice mix of modern farmhouse/contemporary/mcm. Good luck!...See MoreThis a 204 square foot living room. Need help with furniture placement
Comments (12)If some changes could be made to the interior, especially the kitchen, it might help woth furniture arrangement. Unfortunately, what I’m thinking would probably be undesirable for resale and hard-to-impossible to move furniture beyond the living room, but here it is anyway: Extend the island to one of exterior walls. On one side, it would force you to walk through the kitchen to go upstairs (what’s up there, by the way?). But, you could do this by simply placing a rolling island between the island and the wall. It keeps that from being a walkway, but is easily moved when desired. Or, on the other side, it would have you walking through the kitchen to get to the back bedroom, and the refrigerator would face the back hall. Anyway, either of these takes a walkway out of the living room, potentially allowing for furniture placement....See MoreRelated Professionals
