front door opens in middle of living room-move front door?
Comments (3)I love the balance the existing door brings to your space. You could perhaps work around the furniture placement issue by floating some of the furniture pieces, rather than having them all along the walls. If you post pics we could help....See MoreHelp!

Comments (9)Don't center a rug in the room -- this is such a large room that it needs to be subidived into two spaces. Set up a seating ensemble around the fireplace and bookcases (put a TV in the bookcase if you want it in this room), with a couch (facing right), couple of chairs, coffee table, and your rug turned 90 degrees to unify that space. You could put a console table behind the couch to give it a more welcoming face (maybe even with drawers for mittens, or a tray for mail, etc.). Then put your bench under the window to the left of the door, with a coat rack in the corner, boot tray underneath, etc. -- I think this "mudroom" zone will actually just need the upper-left quarter of the space, and could have its own rug. That leaves the lower-left corner for one more functional space: could be a desk and chair, or a game/puzzle table, or a bookcase, reading chair, lamp grouping, or some storage pieces with art. That should put you in good shape. I'd consider reversing the door, as it would feel more natural for the mudroom purpose as well as being less restrictive of furniture placement......See MoreHelp!

Comments (14)I like your rearrangement. Now for suggestions.....The coffee table is too big. I would like to see a round ottoman there. I would put your little mirrors around the bookcase...three to each side. Get a end table with lamp for the end of your couch nearest the dining room. Maybe a tall plant on the other end of your couch. To soften the room, if you want to, I would get some sheer curtains for the windows Also I would pull your sectional out away from the windows...looks sort of shoved in. Pretty dogs....See MorePriya K. C
