Help! Furniture placement for small room Living/Dining/kitchen
3 years ago
I need some assistance with furniture placement for my living/ kitchen area. The first room of my house is supposed to be a dining room but I recently was gifted a baby grad piano and I will be turning that room into a lounge type room.(not pictured) As for the photos I have attached I have the kitchen side pretty much squared away. its the living area. I really would like a dining table to fit somewhere along with a sectional couch (see pic) we need something with deep seating for my husband who is 6'5" or maybe incorporate a large recliner?? IDK. Any advice is appreciated as this is my first home for my family of three so its just a start for us. many thanks in advance. :)

Put your dining table with the piano...dinner guests would love some music.

Comments (6)Do the barrel chairs swivel? You can add a mechanism to them so they'll do so if you love and want to keep them. I suggest you consider a reversible chaise sofa so you can relax and stretch out on the chaise portion while hubby enjoys one of the recliners. Since the chaise can be flipped from right to left when you want to rearrange, it is very friendly to re-configuring the space when you want. Here are a couple of styles. Depending on how far back you can pull pieces from the TV, you could flank it with the swivel chairs, place the sofa where you now have the recliners, and place the recliner angled by the window. Once you get the arrangement down, use painter's tape to tape out a virtual rug on the floor. I like them to slip under the front 1/3 of the sofa and extend past the ends by at least a foot or so. If your "rug" isn't a standard size, go up to the next standard sized one as you shop. Are you planning for drapes? They would add a lot to your space....See MoreFurniture placement in l-shaped living room / dining room
Comments (6)Great, thanks! I would use a round table that can extend to oval when you have company in the dining area, right over near the kitchen. One chair backing into the corner, rather than a chair with its back to the kitchen door. The desk can stay right where you have it in this photo. Sofa on the wall with the windows with a side table at each end. Two chairs across from it with a table between them. I sketched a pic but can't post comments on my phone, boo :(...See MoreFurniture placement for entry/formal living and dining room
Comments (6)Near the entry door I like to have a bench to sit on when putting on/taking off shoes. Also a console table with mirror above it. So think of creating three zones - entry zone, sitting area, and dining area, while leaving at least 36” of walkway along the side of the room. I agree that the chandelier will probably need to be moved over to be centered under the dining table, and perhaps it could be replaced with one that is more of a focal point since the room seems to be lacking one....See MoreHelp!

Comments (1)Honestly, don’t waste your time and money on this apartment. Anything you add will be on your $ and with 3 dogs and a temporary room mate, I wouldn’t invest in anything....See MoreRelated Professionals
