help with the furniture placement is needed, pass through living room
How would you organize the furniture in the living room (20 by 20 feet) that has an entryway (from the foyer) in the middle and two pass through to the kitchen and a dining rooms? We will appreciate your suggestions, you can consider ANY furniture pieces in addition to the traditional sofa + coffee table...there is no fireplace, we plan to put a large flat screen TV on the right hand side wall. I do not have pictures as the drawing is from the floor plan I cannot share either (by contract I signed with hte builder). The kitchen and the dining are separate rooms, but the openings are wide. The back of the room will feature sliding doors outside, we plan a patio there. The foyer is large enough to have a coat closet and a bench. I have updated the drawing, the numbers are the sizes in feet. We are flexible with the position of TV but we really do not want a fireplace. Ideally we would like to have two zones- one is for watching TV and the other for recreation/ play with our toddler. We can close and open the walls on the left but we really do not want all open floor concept.
UPDATE: The size of the windows is undetermined at this point - standard medium size would work. We are a family of 3, no pets. The number of guests we entertain 3-5 can be more (around 10) on a rare occasion. We prefer contemporarily furniture - smaller pieces

Living Room furniture placement - need help
Comments (16)Yes, another option is to only use one of my leather chairs and have an "everyday" arrangement and then pull up extra seating when necessary. So, this would seat 4-5. And then I'd pull up the extra rattan chair and the two ottomans to seat 8. Or does it seem unbalanced having the larger leather chair and the smaller rattan chair flanking the fireplace?...See MoreI need help with furniture placement in a large living room.
Comments (10)Wow! Those windows going out to the porch are beautiful. What a great view! I think you should have two separate sitting areas because the smaller chairs don’t work with the larger chair. I love how the larger chair looks with your sofa and pillows...just lovely! Is there room to remove the end table on the right and slide the rug, sofa, and big chair down a couple of feet? And keep the big chair angled towards sofa like in the first photo...away from the chase part. Then I would leave the two smaller chairs under the opening but pull them out a bit so that sitting area stands in it’s on. Looking forward to seeing photos of what you do especially when the bigger rug gets in! I like the black idea too....See MoreNeed help with pass through living room
Comments (3)If opening up the wall to the dining room to enter it closer to the center of the room isn't practical, rather than leaving the area beneath the windows "naked", you might consider adding a plant beneath each window. My personal experience is that a snake plant can reach 4' tall above the dirt -- the deeper the pot the taller they grow. It a pot with its own drain tray and set on a four wheeled rolling dolly w/rim so the pots would not easily slide off, they'd be easy to move about for cleaning purposes. There are a lot of different shallow metal and wood plant stands and tables for beneath your windows -- rounded corners could be a plus. Also, beware splayed legs since they're a potential trip risk. Flower pots and plant stands can be an opportunity to add your favorite bold color to an otherwise neutral colored room and draw attention to the windows and the natural light/view they provide -- a good reason to choose window treatments that leave as much glass open as possible....See MoreThis a 204 square foot living room.

Comments (12)If some changes could be made to the interior, especially the kitchen, it might help woth furniture arrangement. Unfortunately, what I’m thinking would probably be undesirable for resale and hard-to-impossible to move furniture beyond the living room, but here it is anyway: Extend the island to one of exterior walls. On one side, it would force you to walk through the kitchen to go upstairs (what’s up there, by the way?). But, you could do this by simply placing a rolling island between the island and the wall. It keeps that from being a walkway, but is easily moved when desired. Or, on the other side, it would have you walking through the kitchen to get to the back bedroom, and the refrigerator would face the back hall. Anyway, either of these takes a walkway out of the living room, potentially allowing for furniture placement....See MoreRelated Professionals

Hello Alexey,
Once the house has been built and you are able to stand you living room It will be easier for you to see what will or will not work for you. Especially since you are still fine tuning various aspects in the room such as window size, etc.Thank you for the updates. That helped. Please know that the furniture placement is the only thing that is being presented NOT the style or colors in the room.
- we put a piano in the room in place of your electric piano. We don't have one in our selections.
- There is enough seating for 10 folks with the padded stools around the room.
- there are two book cases. One on opposite sides of the room, as you can see, this was intended to give you a "play area" for your little one that includes the open space in front of the piano.
- We put 4 chairs in the sitting area but you can easily move them around the room to another location or omit 2 of them and pull extra seating from the dining room table when you more guests.
Hope this helps. Best Wishes with the construction of your new home and congratulations. We wish you many happy memories to come in your new home.
MAE

Here is a floorplan for others to use for their suggestions. @decoenthusiaste is a great resource for this type of room. Hopefully Deco will add some suggestions as well.
