Family Room Furniture Placement HELP
Comments (5)Thank you. That information will help since I couldn't read the dimensions of the room. I thought the one was fourteen, but couldn't tell if the other was sixteen or eighteen. I also have one more question. I drew up what I thought you meant about the location of your fireplace and the windows shown below. Is this correct?...See MoreFamily Room Furniture Placement and Decor
Comments (10)Clear all the surfaces, windows and walls. Remove all other pieces except the desk, coffee table and seating. Sell the loveseat on Craig's List. Replace it with a pair of swivel armchairs. Buy a credenza 25% wider than the TV. Place it and the TV on the back wall where you have the mirror and pix now. Float the sofa where you now have the loveseat. Place the two swivel chairs opposite it. With the coffee table centered on the firebox, pull all the seating to within 18" or less of the table. To replace all the family photos, have a professional photo of the entire family done and hang it 5" above the desk which should be placed opposite the fireplace. Get a piece of art no wider than the firebox and hang it 5" above the mantel. If the seating/coffee table/desk are feels too cramped you may opt for a smaller coffee table. Once drapes area properly installed, there won't be room for the desk between the windows. You could opt for inside mounted fabric roman shades if you prefer and want the wall space between the windows for the desk. bit it is still tight (filling only 75% of the space makes for better balance.) Matching drapery color to your walls will visually enlarge the room. Lighting could include a new semi-flush ceiling fixture, a pair of floor lamps flanking the fireplace, and one floor lamp between the windows and a desk lamp....See MoreFamily room furniture placement help.
Comments (7)I also think the white pieces look out of place. More like bedroom furniture. Could you draw a rough draft of the room showing doors and windows and dimensions. More pictures would help. stand in each corner taking a picture of the opposite corner. Without knowing more I think the longest sofa should be on the wall that you have the children's pictures are on to let you have a view outside. I would think you would have a lot of glare on the tv with it opposite the sliders. So if there is room I would move it to the left of the sliders or where you have the cabinet in the corner by the fireplace if there is room. It is way to high on that dresser....See MoreFamily room furniture placement help
Comments (30)Here’s the sofa without the table. Last night my family saw the new set up and liked this arrangement so you can sit on one of the sofas directly across from the tv. But doesn’t it cut off the room from the breakfast/kitchen area? I haven’t taken down my Christmas so that’s why I was cutting that part out of the pictures. The reason I didn’t put the tv over the fireplace is because you see the fireplace when you walk in the front door. Also with the tv on that wall we can see the tv when we are cooking in the kitchen. I love my rugs but Beverly’s pictures with the different rugs are transformative. The pillow information is also super. My current rug won’t fit if I change the direction. I don’t love the clock. I just wanted something to fill a big blank wall. But I really like the mirror. You all are giving such great information. So should i keep the sofas perpendicular? What about having the table behind the sofa? Is it ok that the other sofa isn’t against the wall and there is nothing behind it? Thank you!...See Moregrapefruit1_ar
