I'm curious as to the layout of your space. Is that the only place a TV can go?

Chandeliers, crown mold, sinks, and televisions can never be too big.

Well thats good news because the chandelier I have to hand is pretty big! :-)

what size is the tv that is there now?

Anj, yes, it really is the only place because the beams go across the fireplace mantel making the size of the tv I could put there too small. The loveseat is on the wall directly across from the tv wall (which is where I took the photo’s from) and then the other side of the room is the kitchen area.

Show us your room arrangement. I would much prefer to have the couch facing the fireplace and the table perhaps where you now have the loveseat.

Here’s some other views of the room

Yvonne, that is actually the arrangement the woman who sold me the house had but there was no place for the tv except angled in the corner where the desk currently is

I would arrange the room differently. I would put the dining table on one side and the living room in the other. You can pick which, but it looks like the right side was intended to be the dining space.

grioux, the tv there now is 50” which is about 44” wide

Cut out cardboard the size of the TVs you are thinking about. Place them in the room in spaces you might consider for mounting. I think that to the right of your fireplace would be a possible location vs. where it is located now. This is an awkward space for a tv. It appears to be a dining room with a couch in it. But, I return to my suggestion. Mock it up. And YOU decide.

Do you really need such a big dining table? You have seating for three in the "living room" and ten in the "kitchen-dining room". Are the two end-chairs comfy enough to sit in to watch TV? If so, move the couch to where the dining room table is but keep the two end chairs to make a conversation area. Then mount the TV on a moveable arm next to the fireplace. Move the table and four chairs to under the window.

Little Bug, I don’t know how else to arrange it unless we put the table where the couch is and then put the couch in the center of the room directly behind the island but then where would we put the tv?

You have a not-very-big room trying to serve 3 purposes. I agree that the dining room table is taking way more than its share of the space at the expense of your living room.

Is there any way to switch the dining table and chairs from parallel to the fireplace, to perpendicular to the fireplace? Maybe even shoved against the side wall? Or a smaller table and chairs to replace what you have?

To me, adequate room for relaxing, visiting with guests, and watching tv deserves more room than a dining room table.

I'm curious about how many people use the dining table on a regular basis. If three or maybe even four I would look at getting a drop leaf table and placing it in front of the window. That would leave the rest of the space available for seating and the tv. As Yvonne mentioned you could even use your current end chairs in the seating area.

astrerales, the space is mostly used as kitchen/eating area and the loveseat is just a comfy spot to sit. I have 3 teenage boys so they are always in the kitchen! My oldest son actually made that dining table for me in wood shop so it is very special- I wouldn’t change it for anything! :) We have another living room with sofas and a tv so its not like this is our only living area. It’s just a popular room. I could remove the loveseat and recliner but there’s usually one family member sitting over there just relaxing. I guess I have the dilemma of what looks best vs what works best.

Little Bug, I actually switched the table perpendicular to fireplace over the holidays and just switched it back yesterday. It definitely made more floor space that way but I’m not sure it looked better. I think I have a photo of it that way on my phone- I will post it

I agree with making half dining and half living. But not with the TV spanning the space and being watched form so far away. That doesn't look purposeful or planned. Do you have a floor plan we can look at?

Sorry, I misunderstood, I thought you lived in a small house and the area pictured was the only space available to serve both as dining and living. I think you should do as someone above mentioned and cut cardboard to the different sizes that you are considering and see what you think will work best for you and your family.

Your son did a very nice job on the table. I looked closely at it while considering the drop leaf table and thought how nice it looked. However, thinking that the room had to serve both as living and dining area it needed smaller scaled furnishings.

Oh! I misunderstood too! When you said this room serves as your living/dining/kitchen, I assumed it was the only space available for those activities. That changes things. Plus the sentimentality of your table, to be sure.

Thanks for posting the table set perpendicular to the fireplace. That’s kind of what I meant, but push it to the wall where the upholstered furniture is now. The table takes up too much valuable real estate when it’s centered on the fireplace.

I really think you can do this by moving the dining table to one side and putting the love seat & TV on the other. Without dimensions it's difficult to help, though.

Hi - not a pro, but I think you should keep the table perpendicular to the fireplace (like you had in your holiday picture), but move it over to the right where you have the sofa now and then move the sofa to the left side of the room. Place the tv to the left of the sofa where the desk is.

Since this is not your only living space I see your dilemma now more clearly. To be honest, I would remove the TV. If not I would accept that it is out of place because this is essentially a kitchen/dining not a living space in terms of what would look best.

To answer your question, get the 75.

Would it be weird to put the table where the sofa is by the window and then put the couch where the table is, play with sofa facing fireplace and facing tv...see if either feels right to you.

Now that I'm on a desktop computer...I can see the pics better..OMG...I love your fireplace!!

I would not do over a 65 and that will look large on the wall
