Home Decorating Furniture living room

Please help with my living room layout

3 years ago

We have this good size living room, but because of the window placement I'm having a hard time figuring out how to lay out the furniture and what to have as a focal point. I don't want a huge entertainment center o TV, maybe a smaller one so that's why I don't think hanging the TV on the wall without windows is the best option for us. I have a recliner couch, recliner loveseat and recliner single seat that are arriving today, and they are a good size. We were thinking of adding a medium size entertainment center with electric fireplace, but not sure if it will look good off center in the wall with the window to the side. Thanks I'm advance for the recommendations!

Now decide where to put your TV. I think the couch on the long wall with the love seat in front of the windows and the chair facing the TV which will be on the wall with one window. I personally think a fireplace entertainment center with TV sitting on it would be perfect for that wall. After you add end tables and lamps and curtains, you room will look cozy. No coffee table with reclining couches. Experience talking here...the table has to be too far away when you recline.

We received the furniture, but still not sure we like any of the options we tried. We are waiting to see how we end up placing the couches to determine what other furniture we need/can fit. All suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

I agree with Suero. You don't need to decide the exact configuration of the furniture, just get the floor outlets in generally where the furniture is going to be.

We have this good size living room, but because of the window placement I'm having a hard time figuring out how to lay out the furniture and what to have as a focal point. We are not much into watching TV, but we know when we have family over that's important for them, so we think we may get a TV for the living room but, not necessarily want a huge one. I have a recliner couch, recliner loveseat and recliner single seat that are arriving today, and they are a good size.

Thanks in advance for the recommendations! Photos in comments because it didn't let me upload them here

Thanks for the suggestions! Yeah, we weren't planning on a coffee table, we definitely need the open space in the middle. Do you think the chair and the love seat on the same side by the window? Thanks again for your comment, I appreciate it!

Try the large couch centered across from the window so it has a nice view outside. Slightly angle the love seat next to it facing the other window with a view f the tv placed next to the window but closer to the window not the corner. With just the single recliner on the larger window side facing the tv. Look for an entertainment center at a height you like for viewing tv. I don't like mounting them on a wall because it forces you to keep it in that position that is sometimes mounted to high. I like it standing ON the entertainment center instead so the whole thing can be moved without patching walls if you decide to change your furniture placement.

Basically like the second picture but the large couch against the wall not angled. Angling the love seat towards the other window more.
