Help with Living Room Layout (Sofa/Sectional Options)
Comments (2)I think that I would hesitate to block both heat vents and access to open and close the windows or blinds. That is one fabulous window. What a feature! What about a sofa with a small left chaise placed where the media console is now? It would be like a sectional, but would not come down past the heat vent or block the window as much. I like your current arrangement too. It looks like there may be room for another chair....See MoreFurniture options for living room - which way to go?
Comments (20)I'm not sure what you intend to use this room for but if it's for adult conversation while kids are in the FR then there are a couple of things I would do. Two loveseats facing each other, round coffee table and 2 swivel chairs facing the fireplace (backs to the room entrance). I can picture a tall grandfather clock angled in the corner where the chair is now. Or One loveseat facing the FP, rectangle coffee table and a swivel chair on each side of the loveseat. Then I'd place a round game table with 4 chairs in the corner where the chair is now. This is a good way to get extra seating without taking up a whole lot of room and the table is great for coffee/dessert or playing cards or games while you watch the fire. In either case, turn the rug. Your bookcases are beautiful and I'd play them up to full advantage by adding some books (artfully arranged, of course)and some greenery in colorful containers. I'd place the photo frames throughout the shelves, some sitting on side layered books for height variance so that they become unexpected and delightful interruptions from the reading material....See Morehelp choosing living room furniture for a small room?
Comments (2)you know how many styles there are, right? you haven't given us any ideas as to what you like. I suggest you look at Casual Boho type of furniture. don't get a sectional Also, look at Article. they have great furniture at a decent price.

Comments (14)Keep in mind that you are thinking of starting a family in the next year. You may want to consider holding off on a coffee table and having several end tables so you can place a play mat down in the center of the room and have a place to set bottles etc. and baby monitor next to you. Leave space for a baby swing and a play pen to be later exchanged for cube storage for toys. I may consider placing the TV on the wall flanking the chaise portion of your sofa with something under it that can be later used for toy storage. A TV over the fireplace is pretty high for toddlers to watch. Just thinking of the baby shark video and my niece interacting with it - dancing, running and hiding, celebrating when she is safe . . . and all the other learning programs that she loves watching and interacting with while watching. Maybe visit a few friends with babies and toddlers and find out what works for them before making any final decisions. I like the idea of a sofa and two chairs because it is more flexible....See MoreWestCoast Hopeful
