living room design for narrow room
Here is a scale of the room. I would like to have an area coming in the entry door designated as foyer. I’m at lost with this room. The original picture shows the fireplace with tv mounted above but can remove and place elsewhere since we moved and added the front door. Any suggestions with pics would be appreciated
Need help with living room furniture placement. I’m in the process of remolding older home and the living room is long and narrow. The room measures 12’4”x24’ with front door Entering on one end. I have posted pics of the room and need help I’m at a lost. I will be redoing the fireplace and can move to any wall. Any ideas appreciate

Comments (1)If you installed it replacing the window, then you could turn your sectional around to the opposite end of the room and it would work where the tv presently is and have a nice view of the new fireplace.

Comments (12)Is this space intended to be used as a dining room as well, or is there a separate dining room. I also assume the door will be the main point on entry. If the door is main entry and this space is just a living room then I would place an open book case to serve as a landing pad. Other corner across for door is other location. I would place TV console on wall same side as door.

Comments (2)Your rectangle is 18' 10" wide and about 24' long ? You'll have more options if you put your tv on a portable stand rather than hanging it on the wall or set atop a console. Then you could angle it in the corner and face your sofa toward the slider with one end of the sofa against an end table against one of the walls to create a room divider. You might invest in some graph paper for drawing the room to scale -- or print it out drawn to scale -- and then invest in some heavier card stock to cut out the size and shape of each piece of furniture you already have so you can move the pieces around on the floor plan without lifting furniture (and/or invest in sliders). A sectional limits the options for furniture placement and, if any part of it is stained or damaged then you're needing to replace a lot of seating or live with it....See Moreeverdebz

the 36” opening is the front door and directly across is case opening into hall that is 461/2”. The other opening is 31” that goes into the kitchen. All the other are windows. Hope this helps and isn’t confusing

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoIf you are going to use this room as a living room, I agree that you are better off without the fireplace unit in the room. If you have a dining room or other available room in the house, consider moving the unit there. And I would put a sofa on the one available wall, I.e. the long, window-free wall. And put tv on a long, low console, across from sofa. TV would be in front of window(s).

Cheap idea for curtains not your question.... each 1 for each 100"W, 1 for each window and 2 for side wall's window.
