I Need a furniture plan for an odd shaped room!!
Comments (10)Eleven feet is plenty, so I would keep the sofa forward of the traffic path. I was thinking if your tv was above your fireplace, you would need 6-8 feet between it and your sofa (depending on the size of your tv) and wanted to make sure it wouldn't impede traffic to the garage. I like your mock-up and your enthusiasm! Maybe you have more space than I thought. Is it possible for you to post a picture with your sofa in front of the fireplace and your chair (or two - any chair would do for the second one) by the fireplace? Really, if you like the arrangement for tv viewing and feel there is adequate room to move around, it's a win. One thing to mention, some people don't like sectionals because they feel they are limiting in terms of rearrangement. We have one in our family room, but it works for our purposes. It's really a personal preference thing, and I wouldn't want to talk you into making an impulse buy. LOL...See MoreFurniture Layout for Odd Shaped Living Room
Comments (5)Something like this.... Furniture focused on the fireplace not on the walls. Float sofa and chairs. There are several ways to place the furniture without having it against the walls....See MoreNeed help with furniture Placement in odd shaped living room
Comments (15)If it was just my husband and I it would be fine the way it is. with children it’s a huge safety issue because if they stand on the couch they can go down the stairs. It’s driving me crazy to say the least. I feel others might look at the room differently than I would and would have a better idea...See MoreFurniture help for odd shaped multi use room
Comments (1)Looking for advice on what to do with this odd(ish) room. Intended use will be kitchen / dining room / sitting area. I don't need a formal tv space, as our tv will be in another room, although we were thinking about putting up a samsung frame above the fireplace for cooking videos and such. For the sitting area, I'd love to be able to play board games, curl up and read a book, or have coffee chats. I also love function, so a table, or sideboard to store keys or any other useful stuff is great! Any and all advice is appreciated. Couple of key points: With the exception of the dining room table, i'm not married to any of the furniture, so it can go or stay. If possible I'd like to fit the coffee table, but I realize it's large so not a deal breaker. The alcove space to the right of the refrigerator has been ear-marked this pantry, Which we definitely need, so not much can go there. The side of the island facing the fireplace, has cabinets, which are in active use (hold pressure cooker and such) so furniture can't be pushed up against it. The window to the right of the french doors (in the pictures it has a green pillow against it) has a doggy door, so that can't be covered either. The measurement from fireplace to island is 113 inches. Left edge of gray cabinet to right edge of the fire place is 98.5 inches. The wall color is gray / green. It's greenish during the day and grayish at night. I'm so lost as to what to do. Pictures will be posted below....See Morekellycmackay75
