Comments (2)Can the loveseat by the front door replace the chair, creating an L shaped seating area? If you can move the coffee table in front of the other loveseat, I wonder if you'll have a clear pathway from the front door to the closet to the hall (?) door....See MoreRoom arrangement for awkward family room --Need your help!!
Comments (3)You really only have room for a sectional and one chair, or a sofa and two chairs like you currently have. The sectional and one chair will not add anymore seating though....See Morehow to stage this awkward, large front room?!
Comments (28)Unfortunately no this is the main floor so we can't move the office area into a bedroom. I don't understand what you are saying with that sentence. The 10' X 11' main floor room is perfect to stage as an office. Definitely do not make the desk the first thing that people see when they walk in. Their thought will be "Odd, but I guess there's no place for a desk anywhere else. Maybe I can live with that." You want them to think "I can't wait to welcome my friends and family into this beautiful room."...See Morehelp with awkward front room. Floor plans included.
Comments (2)You can easily set a TV on top of the buffet. It will sit a bit tall, but nowhere nearly as tall as sets placed over fireplaces. The problem becomes placing seating so TV viewing is comfortable. Most sofas are between 6 and 7 feet long and about 3 feet deep, so there is room to place your sofa facing where you want the TV, then place the two chairs opposite each other in front of the sofa. Buy a small coffee table to center between the chairs and sofa. This provides up to 5 places for you and guests to sit. The chairs are easily turned if you wish to view the TV. A small rug will pull the area together. Sorry, but the putting green will have to go elsewhere....See More- PRO
