Furniture placement in square living/dining room
Comments (2)Just browsing and can't resist. It sounds really nice, P Swiss, as do Annie's ideas. My initial thought was that the sideboard (assuming no hutch) could be used as the base for the TV. It's pretty commonly done now and would allow some simplification. Regarding placing furniture for the view, every time you walk or glance into the living room, you'll be able to enjoy it. Perhaps including a seat or two near the windows specifically intended for enjoying it close up would do? This would allow you to arrange the rest of the furniture to optimize the room's other functions. Have you thought of having your dining there? Do you need 4 seats daily, or would a drop-leaf table that seats 2 when dropped do? A symmetrical arrangement of a table with a pair of chairs facing each other can be very charming, and inviting, in front of a window....See MoreLiving room/dining room furniture placement help.
Comments (12)I moved some things around and I think I like it better. I know the rug is too small and it shouldn't be "floating" but I don't want a new one until we get the other changes done. I moved the dresser into the dining room and hung (probably too high but couldn't convince 6'3" hubby to lower it and he had a point about being out of reach of the tornado. haha) the sign and pictures that had been on the mantle in the dining room. We also took off the ridiculous trim board they had up because we will be replacing the slider soon. So many things in this house like that silliness. I organized most of the books and moved the bookshelf. And grabbed a few canvases (I know they are small but can't remember where we left my big one) I did the flower, my dad painted the one on the right in Vietnam in '68. We need to fix the coffee table my dad built that's in the garage, I'll put it in front of the sofa, it's a little under 6'long, so it might be technically too big but, again, it's what I have. How'd I do?...See MoreFurniture placement for entry/formal living and dining room
Comments (6)Near the entry door I like to have a bench to sit on when putting on/taking off shoes. Also a console table with mirror above it. So think of creating three zones - entry zone, sitting area, and dining area, while leaving at least 36” of walkway along the side of the room. I agree that the chandelier will probably need to be moved over to be centered under the dining table, and perhaps it could be replaced with one that is more of a focal point since the room seems to be lacking one....See MoreNeed Furniture Ideas!
