Help!! I need ideas for furniture layout for this oddly shaped room
Hello design people!
I am not well-versed in the realm of interior design, and I am at a loss as to how to furnish this room. It's really unique and gets lots of sunlight, but there is little wall space and it opens in weird spaces. There are bay windows, a staircase, and a fireplace all in the same room. My husband is 6'4 so we want a couch he could lie on making this more challenging. The stairs open to an open loft kind of area, and the room opens to our kitchen so there is a half wall in the back of the room as you can see in picture 3. . We have two small children under the age of two (I realize the furniture will take a beating because of this) and this room will be used a lot so we want furniture that will be well-loved and utilized not just for show. Any ideas? Thank you!!
- We are mid-construction on built-ins and the rug and coffee table are from our last home.

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 MoreWeird shaped living room - Furniture Layout ideas needed!
Comments (2)Do a floor plan and make the smaller angled end of the room the dining area. As is now the table and chairs are wasting a lot of precious space. You can leave the t v where it is. With an app, have the screen become art work, or a simulated fireplace…. Put a sofa on the solid wall with floor lamps, sleek coffee table, with a colorful rug under, and two small swivel chairs to complete the vignette. Swivel chairs are valuable to your space, as they can turn toward both the sofa and the t v....See MoreOdd Shaped Family Room-Need Help with Furniture Layout!!
Comments (8)I like your current arrangement. For more seating, you can use two longer sofas in the same arrangement. Or a sofa with two chairs as you have it but without the ottomans. That leaves room for a backless bench type of seating to face into the conversation area that wouldn't interfere with the TV. With any options, your seating area is rectangular, so a rug would be fine to use. You may have room for a narrow console table behind the sofa facing the tv, if you place a sofa there....See MoreKitchen layout help in oddly-shaped space
Comments (13)Moving the fridge next to the door is a less expensive change than moving the stove. But it's also a less functional one. You move from sink to stove a lot. And your kitchen is about 2 feet wider than optimal if you want the stove across from the sink. (My sister's kitchen had this problem. It was a constant, low grade annoyance until we remodeled.) I would also bet that your stove hood is a recirculating model that isn't vented outside. That will also be a constant, low grade annoyance. Move the stove. You'll be happier! Second, shallow pantries are much more functional than deep ones. Nothing gets lost in the back and you instantly see what you want. Put your coffee station next to the fridge and close to the table. Or put it next to the sliding door and close to the table. You will enjoy having that table. It will mean that the non-cooks can hang out with you in the kitchen without getting in your way. The kids (if any) will do homework there. The spouse (if any) will read their tablet there. It will be just like an island with stools, except more comfortable....See MoreRelated Professionals

Thank you all so much for the input!! I have added a picture of the staircase wall so you can see what kind of wall space we are working with. It is an open staircase so that severely limits our ability to mount a tv on it. It's kind of a waste of space. Wondering if that changes peoples' opinions at all. I love the ideas. Thank you all so much!
PROlast yearI think you could do simple console with TV on top. Something like this. You could wall mount shelf for TV and place TV In asymmetrical position to keep registers open below. I have a picture to show as well. Bbl
