Furniture layout in long, narrow living room
Comments (13)Sorry, Kim, I was typing at the same time you were, but that arrangement that you have now, is what I suggested below. I really like it. if that wood piece needs to be there, can you put your TV on the long wall where your couch is, put couch in front of windows and chair on the right side of your couch as you are looking at it. May even have room for another chair.....with end tables, coffee table and lamps your room will look good. I assume you will be putting some sort of curtain/drape on the windows. Your floors look very nice and a rug in front of the couch would give it some color....See MoreFurniture Layout in long, narrow living room
Comments (7)I see. I wasn't sure where the other door way was. Yes, I think two sofas and two armchairs would work. The problem with sectionals is that they really don't seat as many people as you would think, because adults generally like to have their own "space" and no one wants to sit in the corner or the middle. Ideally you would want the walk way from the the door to the sun room door clear. But because of the off center placement of the fire place and your need to seat larger groups, you may have to bend the rules a bit. How about scooting the window sofa up a bit, to get a more centered arrangement? Sofa tables and consoles are great to stash ottomans underneath for extra casual seating. How would something like this work for you? It will comfortably seat six adults, eight snugly and nine if you count the ottoman as a casual perch. When shopping for sofas, look for a bench seats. They're a little easier to smush people onto because they don't have any cracks....See MoreNarrow Living Room: Furniture Layout
Comments (21)As usual I agree with groveraxle. Making a natural walkway behind the sofa allowing traffic to flow outside the main living area is always preferable to placing furniture against the wall. Longest tv console possible gives more storage for toys too. The tv between the windows eliminates some of the glare while giving someone sitting on the couch a view outside along with viewing the tv. If you were to use a sectional or more seating I would form the L so that the other side faces the front of the house. That will shield to a point the play area from the front door hiding kids clutter as the first thing you see When you walk in the door....See MoreLayout Assistance for Long & Narrow Living Room
Comments (7)@User Great question! There are two adults and 3 kids 5 and under. I am not naive enough to believe that the kids won't play in there so I am expecting we'll have a bookshelf or cabinet with toys in it. We are unsure about having a tv in there but definitely see ourselves hanging out and reading and relaxing. We have another area that will be more of a kids room/tv room so we would like to keep this room a little more formal and a little more oriented towards adults....See MoreMae Day Organizing and Interior Design
