How to arrange furniture in our oddly shaped living room
Comments (4)What is the depth of the couch? The length, width and height of the side tables? Ditto for the arm chair, the size and shape of the ottoman, the height and width of the entertainment center. Is there a desk chair? What is the width of the desk? Does it have an opening in the middle or on the right or left side? Is the back of the desk finished? Right now, making guesses, I can't fit everything into the space unless you don't want to get into the dining room, kitchen or hallway :-( It's not the lack of wall space; it's the lack of space for all your furniture....See MoreRecessed lighting layout, oddly shaped living room.
Comments (2)Thanks Patricia, I'll upload a PDF with the room dimensions. As far as ditching the fan lights, I tend to agree with you. I hardly ever use the fan lights, it puts off very harsh light. I can't get rid of the fan though, I live near Houston and it gets hot here in the summer! I planned for the recessed lighting to be more for an accent and ambient lighting, just to brighten the room a little. I'm installing caseta dimmers and will probably have them dimmed to 20% or so most of the time and will probably have the ones near the kitchen off most of the time, which is why I'm splitting the lights into 2 circuits. I'm also toying with the idea of installing individual dimmers or relays to control each light individually. But when I have them all on at full brightness I don't want a bunch of shadows, so that's why I'm having trouble with the layout. I'm just not sure if I have enough lights and I also don't want my ceiling looking like a mini golf course, lol. I really prefer 3000K lights, I like how they are close to incandescent bulbs in color and the ones I have are 80 CRI which is average, but they look really good in my kitchen. There were existing 6" cans in the kitchen and I put surface mount halo led's in that are 3000K and the color in the room is very nice, to me. Edit: I added dimensions to the original PDF in the link in my first post. Thanks!...See MoreFurniture layout for oddly shaped great room
Comments (25)It seems odd that all the suggestions have most or all of the seating with its back to the TV and/or the windows. I dunno, but I think I'd put the couch as in your first photo, and add a couple of chairs in that same zone = TV room. Then put a small cluster of chairs at the other end of the room as a conversational grouping (around a table) with the option to look out the windows or enjoy the fireplace....See MoreNarrow, oddly shaped dining room needs help!
Comments (8)The rest of the house is much more contemporary so the furniture is all going. The reason for mismatched is because we moved from a house where we had separate eat in kitchen and dining room. we Need all that seating for the family until I can buy something that matches throughout. I have considered 2 long tables with a walkway between that aligns with the innermost door. new chandeliers relocated over each and keep A large cabinet in the alcove for storage. Maybe I’m just making it too complicated. Thanks for the feedback....See MoreKelly Dailey
