Awkward living room space. Need HELP to make it functional and inviti

Comments (3)Since you have a family room elsewhere, you might want to rethink this room and create only a small conversation area left of the fireplace and, perhaps, add a desk/table where sofa is located to create a home office area there. If you can access the hallway or any other room from more than one place including this front entry room, consider closing off the door to that space from this room. On the right wall from the entry door to the rear of the house, you may need to limit that to furnishings that do not include seating. Take some measurements and see if the sofa fit with its back against the wall in that left far corner so that the left arm of the sofa is parallel to the front exterior wall? It may be that you need undersized pieces -- a pair of love seats rather than a full sized sofa or a "ladies" recliner rather than a huge one -- in the room to make the seating a good fit. Something that might be helpful could be drawing the room, to scale, on graph paper and then drawing the "footprint" of each piece of furniture you may want in the room as well so you can cut out the outline of the furnishings and see what fits where -- better than lugging the furniture around until you get it the way you want....See MoreHELP!!!

Comments (9)The first thing I would do is get thet TV off the FPit is hung way too high and it looks like a heatilator type FP so the ventting of it will ruin the TV. Try thinking of the FP as one focal point and the TV either wall monted on an articulating arm beside the TV or that TV on the wall beside the kitchen doorway and rearrange the furniture For us a to scale floor plan is always helpful showing all the measurements , windows doorways etc The to scale plan is a great addition to the pics it helps getting a feel for the space . For sure at least give us the measurements of the room...See MoreErin Rementer
