Post a layout with measurements for better answers. Is this going to be the living and dining area?

Thank you I just went back in and posted the layout and yes it will be living room dining room. :)

Here is basic concept for this great space. Depends on if you entertain or have “game days”? This option has large sectional and comfy swivel chair. It includes a multi-purpose long drop leaf table. For everyday and quick meals pull outer leaf up to seat 2-3. For 6 people, pull table out (you have the room) and raise both leafs. It can act as game day extra seating too. Add a couple square coffee tables or ottomans. And small garden table beside swivel chair. Use long low cabinets free standing or wall mounted with TV on or above. Add nice rug (probably 8 x 10’ to maintain 3’ walkway in front of TV) and possibly an arc floor lamp to swing toward coffee tables with base on far outer end of sectional.

Here is example of drop leaf table. The one I chose could swing to sectional or chair. I like black shades on arc lamps. More dramatic and interesting.

Each square in my layout equals one square foot.

I like Flo's layout, although I am not a fan of sectionals. I would prefer two sofas. But what I really do like is that the TV is not over the fireplace. When a TV is mounted over a fireplace it usually is too high. Plus I find it to be unattractive. I would rather see a nice large piece of art.

I appreciate you both so much!! One more question, do you recommend me doing a faux mantle for the fireplace? I’m getting on Wayfair now as well. I’m definitely taking your advice🙂

To my eye, there isn’t room for a mantel. I think art there would be better but wait on that until you get main furniture in place. I normally don’t recommend sectionals either, but because of limited space in kitchen I felt it worked better. But sofas and chairs can be more functional too. As I said, it depends on your lifestyle and how many people you want to seat every day.

That picture seems to be the reverse of the floor plan you posted? That might impact some decisions. Before you go buying items, let’s get basics defined. Do you have furniture now to be used in this space?

It is reverse but I think what you suggested still works. I don’t have my own furniture and will be getting it getting my own sofas or sectional and dining table as well. I do like the idea of the framed art over the fireplace as well.

Ok. Good to know. How many people will be living here!

2 people but I will definitely have friends and family over on weekends which could be 6 or more people.

Ok then lots of good options.

Just a couple quick ideas. Will look mote tomorrow.

Just picked these for basic furniture layouts. Do you have a particular style you want! Certain colors? Rough budget!

I love the layout of the last photo Flo posted. There’s a lot of seating but no sectional.

I love it all! Geesh thank you Flo! I’m so excited!!

I love that last photo too but not sure we can do two chairs on each end and maintain proper walkway space. You need 3’ walkway spaces for good transportation through and into the room.

Flo to be honest, I don’t have a particular style I like farmhouse and I like coastal(total opposites). Small budget is about $3000(split between bedroom, living room, and dining room). I suck at design and my Pinterest boards are all over the place lol

I also really love the table behind the couch with bar stools!

We will need to be very creative with that budget. But it’s great you are thinking about it together now, because with a master plan you can add items as funds allow. We might want to keep your style to a “transitional” look and rely on accessories for punching up different looks. I would start with sofa, rug and one or two chairs plus a sofa table and arc lamp for living room. What do you need for bedroom? Dining room?

Dining room I’m crossing off the list. My bedroom I will need a desk that will fit 3 monitors(will be wfh once I move in) and I will put either a full or Queen size bed and maybe one night stand. I have two closets so I will use them for clothing storage.

I will show screenshots of my cart.

The couch I love! I tried to go with grey, white and yellow as living room colors

My total is $1816 for all these items

Great shopping! I am redoing scale layout. I will put these items in. Bbl

I can’t even begin to thank you enough!

I love it!! Flo thank you again I will definitely be using this layout.

Keep me posted as you progress! So exciting! Enjoy!

Love the yellow and gray theme.
