where to place sofa and tv

2 years ago

Greetings knowledgeable ones!

So I need ideas for my hopefully forever home (new build ready in 6 months).

Need ideas for where to place sofa and tv. I currently own a right facing L shaped sofa which I love and want to keep.

Just me in the house and I watch TV a lot and rarely entertain (yes very boring).

I’m thinking tv on wall between window and door but that means sofa in middle of room and likely eating into the kitchen (no pun intended).

Room is 19’x19’

I usually like furniture floating in a big open space but I need the meaurements of the soaf and the space between the windows the size of your TV and where your eating space is in the kitchen.

Think a sectional would be best with the short side in the middle and the long end along the wall and the tv on wall by the two windows.

My in-laws have a similar room layout to yours. Where your bar area is they have a built in entertainment center. The TV is on a stand that pulls out and swivels if they want to make it accessible to many viewers. There aren't doors in front of the TV to close it off while not in use, but there are glass front doors where the components are. They aren't big TV watchers, so this works for them. My son has a huge projection TV screen mounted to the ceiling in front of his fireplace and they just lower the screen (remote control) when they want to watch TV, but have it up most of the day. You don't even notice it up there on the ceiling and they can still use the fireplace with the screen down as it doesn't come down enough to block the fireplace. For this set up, you would have to have suitable spots for the projector and sound components. That's a super sweet set up, esp. if you're into movies. We love watching movies at his place. Also, you need to have blackout shades on the windows if you watch TV in the day. I like the concept of a small sitting area in the vicinity of the fireplace and another one facing the opposite wall-if you decide to put your TV opposite the fireplace. Wherever you place your system, it might be useful to have easy to move furniture, so if you have a big group conversing, playing games, watching TV, you can easily pick up and move your furniture to accommodate everyone. Very pretty room.

Sofa on long window wall will look and feel the best and make the room inviting when you walk into it from the front entry. TV on the short wall opposite the sofa; pay to have the wiring redone and move on......you cannot make the space bigger but you can make work well....PS what and where do the stairs go? Do you have an upstairs? What are the dimensions of the living/dining room and kitchen.

I’d use the niche for t v and media stand. Do something like this only have the chair on the fireplace window side. Or, without measurements of room, would a sectional fit with chaise next to front entry tile. Windows are great. Get those red curtains off and show them off.

Small dining table and two chairs (maybe drop leaf if you like) in front of the window at the end of the cabinet run. Sofa on the long wall so you can hang art above it. TV on a fully articulated arm between door and window. You'll be able to pull it down and around for best viewing from the sofa and push it back up and away when you want.

Something on the petite side for the dining table.

Sofa measurement is 8.6”L x 2.7”H x 5’D. TV is a 50” but that’ll go to the bedroom so might get another. Eating space is the open corner by the sink wall.
I don’t have measurements between the windows but will get it on next visit.

Catsafrican that is exactly what I have in mind

Yes floor plan is backward because my plot is mirror image of the floor plan in the brochure so I mirrored it 🙃

Also I have the option to move the radiator which is currently between the two windows where I’m thinking of placing the tv so I’m thinking to move it to the side in the corner next to the balcony window.
Also thinking of changing the door swing?

Decoenthusiaste interesting idea re TV position. Hadn’t thought of that.

I know everyone wants open concept, but in such a small space I am not sure that I wouldn't opt for adding a wall and creating a galley kitchen.
