Thank you Geokid, it looks great! The TV is something I haven't figured out what to do with, so I'm ignoring it. We watch it maybe once every 3 months, no kidding, so I'm not worried about it yet. I may put the tv on a wheeled cart so we can put it in the room when someone wants to watch it. The desk that used to be in my plans will now go somewhere else, too. It won't fit in the living room and still have the room look nice. The thing behind the sofa is a sofa table. I've never owned one. It is there only so I can put a lamp on it, instead of needing another end table. Everyone in my family reads a lot, so we need plenty of light. I think in the other thread it was you who suggested the runner, the armoire, and a bench in that area to the left of the front door. I simply replaced the bench with an upholstered ottoman so it could be used more than one way. I plan to buy Hancock and Moore or Bradington-Young sofas. If I buy fabric-covered chairs, they will be either Taylor-King or Jessica Charles. I think one of the chairs will be a power lift recliner by Hancock and Moore because my husband really needs one of these. We are going to a furniture store to check out recliners this weekend, to find out how long the back has to be from seat to top, since he is tall, and to make sure that a recliner would be best for his needs. It literally takes him 5 minutes to get up from our sofa, after having 4 strokes last year -- his gross motor skills aren't the greatest. Recliners take up a lot of room; I am cognizant of that. I don't know if one that will fit him (and that he'll like) will be so big that I'll have to figure on getting a sectional to seat 5, plus a recliner, and no other chairs. I am limited by the small size of the space and the max 30" front doorway (that is if I take the storm and front doors off). I have a 38" wide sofa in there now, and it was a bear to move in, so I will probably buy a 37" wide sofa. For lighting I plan to use table and floor lamps. Thank you for your help. I appreciate it so much!

sectional is going to be too big. if you have to place a sofa facing that wall on the left, it's going to end up being in the middle of the room, yes? you walk through the front door, and the tv will be on your right with the walkway on the left,,,u continue walking and come into the kitchen/dining area,, some of the items you could have and how to arrange,,, (in these photos imagine that if you're sitting on the sofa, your facing a tv on an opposing wall) you could prob get away with doing a sofa and a chaise, as long as it's not very bulky. you could also do something like this, imagine that the fireplace is your tv wall mount your tv and do a console under it.

I just moved into our house we built and I need help with the arrangement of our furniture. Also ideas for living room decor.

I am not a pro. How about 2 chairs Coffee table 8x10 area rug and a buffet. I like the idea of when having company you can put do like a bar idea or coffee idea etc. depending on company. Remember the pathway for bath closet and porch. or if you do lots of reading maybe do bookcases on that wall. something where you can enjoy the room...
