Help me with my living room/dining room. 2 sofas? and how many chairs?
Comments (13)These are the listing photos from the prior owner. The room is empty and I'm looking for help. In the dining room all I have is a table. I really like this Robin Bruce sofa that a local store has but I was thinking Navy. My husband thinks that is too dark in the room and also not practical with the dog. But I'm really wanting advice on furniture placement/arrangement. Would you do 2 sofas facing each other and tv over fp or put a console on long wall with tv?...See MoreSeparating dining room and great room with vaulted ceiling
Comments (11)The photos you posted are very nice--but it's because they don't have vaulted ceilings. Would you consider 10' ceilings instead of vaulting them? Vaulted ceilings have a more modern vibe and it's difficult to install any type of upper molding. The photos you like are more traditional. Also very high vaulted ceilings bring a host of problems concerning sound, heating/cooling, and just making mere mortals feel inconsequential. The scale is overwhelming. But that's my opinion....See MoreDoor to Separate Living and Dining Room
Comments (10)I see 3 possibilities: One is the typical bi-fold doors, several solid panels, that would be set into a a track in the upper molding, not the floor. When these doors are completely opened, the panels look folded up on both sides of the entry. You might need pairs of 3/4 panels for the width of your entry 2d possibility is to modernize your radiators by using flat wall mounted radiators that could be relocated off the floor and onto the window walls of your dining and/or living room. That would leave you with enough space at both ends of the entry to swing a set of folded up door panels on hinges so they are flush against the wall on either side, inside the dining room or living room, preserving the full width of your entry as is. Hope you get the picture. Here's the type of wall hanging radiator I mean Last is what might be my bold choice favorite, but it might not really fit the style of your space, and you might not have quite enough room to make it work pleasantly. These are pivot doors I think they would require some hardware in the floor, and I believe these doors can only be fixed and cannot be pushed sideways to reopen the entry to close to its original width. Not sure if in your space that you have enough swing room combined with comfortable passage room....See MoreSeparating dining and living room
Comments (13)I thought i had added this comment but dont see so sorry if its duplicate. as far as the rug i dont want to pull it 4ft more yes maybe a bit bigger rug but i want a clear path to the kitchen so i dont step on the rug. yes we have a mat at the door and a rug at the entryway but shoes are still dirty and dont want them on living room rug if i can avoid it. we did try the table on the left. but the room flows even less. i cant change the flooring. we will be getting a new rug and new table to match the chairs. i tried pulling it to the kicthen more and it fits but a bit tight. i kind of like it. we are currently looking for a sofa to replace the sectional and we will add chairs to it...See Morekelli_ga
