I have a family of 6 and a 65” tv. I’m having trouble figuring out what furniture to buy and furniture placement for my living room. Can I get some suggestions?

Comments (24)Here's a few pics of what the place looked like before we moved in. They had it set up with their tv on the wall where we have our bookcases. Also, we painted, changed the closets, refinished the floors...so it looks a lot different :). But anyway, I think you can kind of tell how tight it is with the furniture set up that way. It's doable for sure and it creates more space in the middle of the room. But we ultimately decided we like to use the fireplace and watch tv at the same time, or at least have that option....See MoreNeed Help with Living Room Layout
Comments (5)Hi. It is a challenging space. Your layout options did not post. When designing a space, it has to both function and look good. There is no sense in adding decor until you have a functional floor plan and right now, you do not. I can help, if you can give more information 1) Photos of the other walls of the room. 2) Do you have to keep the sofa with the chaise? 3) Is the sliding door used? 4) How many people must be accommodated to sit in the space on a regular basis? Thanks!...See MoreNeed help with living room layout!
Comments (2)If you plan to place a TV, the only location seems to be to the left of the fireplace. You'll be limited to the width of that drywall....See MoreNeed help designing living room layout
Comments (1)That sectional is too big and IMO who wants to sit all lined up on a giant sofa not coducive to conversation or TV watching look at a sofa and 2 chairs so much better for both There is lots of space for a TV so why infront of the FP or above it for that matter IMO you never buy furniture for a space you do not live in . Many things pop up in real life that a floor plan cannot deal with. Wai until you are in and have lived in the space for a bit You can watch TV from a dining chir or lawn choiuar until you get it right...See More

You could put tv on a long, low console.
And maybe a plant and/or chair in front of window on other side of fireplace.
Swivel chairs could be one option, and you should be able to use at least one chair with sectional, also.
