Small, open living room with awkward entry way
Comments (18)Well! If you have another room for the TV than that is your answer. Then, you can move the sofa to that wall and add two small club chairs across from it. If you go the chair route, get ones that swivel as you have the window seat in one direction and the dining table in the other. Easy to swivel and converse! I am not a fan of the TV being in the living room if there is another place that it can go. I wouldn't rush to take down the half wall. You will need someone competent to match your existing hardwood. Your kitchen looks like a nice size. Is there a table in there? Or can bar stool be put on that side if you replace the counter? It looks like it is a different material than your counters anyway so you can find a material similar to what is now there. ETA: When you do look to buy furniture, look that furniture scaled for small spaces/apartments. It's sometimes hard to judge in the store so take a tape measure with you....See MoreIdeas for setting up/furniture a small living room with a front door?
Comments (19)I've had a house with a small LR where the door opened directly into the room. I used a 60" love seat and floated it facing the fireplace, and then put two chairs on either side of the fireplace. Of course, we didn't have a TV in the room, so you would probably put one chair on either side of the sofa, so one could watch the TV, which I assume is going over the fireplace. In the end, we actually built a wall with an opening into the LR. Everyone told us not to do this as it would make the LR too small. Well, the LR was going to have a pathway to the rest of the house from the front door, so at least we now had a wall where we could put things up against. We were very glad we did this, and subsequent owners of this house have told me they loved having that wall!...See Moreliving room layout help- front door opens into living room
Comments (2)My living room layout is very similar! I had my couch horizontal in front of your window creating a entryway, maybe put a console table behind the couch....See MoreLiving Room/Front Entry layout help!
Comments (14)Yes! I worked on it some yesterday and will take measurements when I get home and can update pictures. The built in wall is 13' long. Drawer units are standard depth, 24", and the narrower cabinets are 12" upper cabinets, however we bumped them out a little, so closer to 16" deep. To the left of the pax wardrobe wall (if facing) is the kitchen. To the right is the front of our house. The third pictures in original post has labels for all exits....See Morelynartist
