Awkward living room layout need help!
Comments (3)ok, so from what i see now, i would place craft area over by the windows, so you could make use of the natural light. I would go the opposite wall have the two desks face each other give space for extras for first desk obove it on the nothern wall. I would place extras for other desk next to it on the lower north wall. i do not know when you like to use the bean bag. so i would place in front of fireplace. place tv on wall where it is. have the couch face it have 2 swivel chairs next to bean bag, so they can face fire or tv or angle to couch....See MoreAwkward Living Room; needing layout help!
Comments (16)This suggestion is kind of taste-specific and might not be your style at all, but I'll share my thoughts... What about this long, lounge-y leather sofa from Article that Chris and Julia put in their cabin? This kind of sectional that's more like a sofa+chaise won't take up too much room in the narrow space between stairs and kitchen. https://www.chrislovesjulia.com/2018/01/sectional-frame-article-sofa.html With the floating stairs behind, I think you need something with simple lines, heft and no legs. The room could probably get cluttered looking very easily with those stairs, so my inclination is very minimalist furnishings. If you must have a TV in this space, I'd put it on the wall opposite the fireplace so at least you can view it from the kitchen. You could put a swivel chair to the left of the sofa so one could spin and see the fireplace. Personally, I don't think I'd worry about making the fireplace a "focal point." The sofa with the pretty stairs behind is a more important focal point, IMO, because it's what you see most prominently from the foyer, the kitchen and the dining room. Here's another layout that might provide some inspiration. Hefty, cool sofa flanked by a swivel chair and a bench. With an arc lamp. . . And a floor plan explanation:...See MoreHelp with Layout for Awkward Farmhouse Living Room
Comments (6)I like the fireplace as is, and a warm white on the walls would enhance fireplace and all of the wood.. I would go warmer than this. Benjamin Moore’s Ballet White or Swiss Coffee could be possibilities. I like BM’s Natura Line. As far as furniture placement, I think 2 seating areas. One option, instead of sofa, etc. could be a center cocktail table or ottoman with four chairs. Or if you would rather have a sofa arrangement. I would put a small scaled sofa on the wall facing windows. Small scaled sofa would go where black marker is in this view. w/ rug: https://www.roomvo.com/share/o0am4r And sofa could possibly be larger; it is difficult to estimate available space there. so I am saying small scaled to be on the safe side. And if there is to be a tv in the space, I would place it on long, low console in front of windows. Additional seating by fireplace, but I have not yet figured out what would be best there. A chair or two, I think. Perhaps a chaise....See MoreNeed help with an awkward living room layout
Comments (6)I'd like to just tell everyone about a website that lets you design any room you wish, down to the shape of the room, the windows, the awkward walls you may have, the size of the room, then you place furniture in the room. There are thousands of types of furniture and tons of accessories. Everything from vases to rugs to drapes to outlets. Anything you could think of, it's there. Plants, outdoor things, kitchen cabinets, you name it. It's a great tool for us non-pros who like to dabble in rearranging a room. It's called RoomStyler.com Oh - I'm not associated in any way with the website. It doesn't sell anything. It's free to use....See MoreDonald
