Formal living /dining room design help
Hi ,
We recently bought the house with this layout on the right side of the front door . I am struggling with ideas to give this space a makeover .
I am not particular on what to do with the living space ,however I intend to use the dining area as a formal dining room .
Please pour in your suggestions and ideas !
Much appreciated

2 years agoThanks for the response . Sorry for the confusion - the first picture in the original post shows the layout of the space , it's a living area extending to dining space separated by pillars. The two other pictures are other views of the same space. All the existing furnitures in the picture will go away with the seller.
Here are some of my inspiration

Comments (16)Thanks for the feedback everyone! A little more information, we live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the local building department allows us to only have an engineers stamp, it isn't required to have an architect. Additionally, our builder (while not an architect) has a lot of experience drawing up plans, and if we could find a floor plan that only needed some modification then he could draw up the plans. Maybe we will end up going to an architect after all, however at the moment I'm just trying to collect some floor plan options to see if we can avoid it. Ideally, we are looking for a single story home that has a large great room, windows in the kitchen, 3-4 bedrooms and about 3000 square feet. We don't need a seperate dining room, or formal living room, though if a plan has a dining room we will turn it into an office, or some sort of other "flex" space.

Comments (11)Thanks everyone! We are installing hardwood throughout the entire downstairs.The revere pewter is actually through french doors off of both rooms but you can't really see itwell from either room so I am not so worried about that going with the other rooms as much. It is mainly this view I want to flow well. I considered van cortland blue for the formal living room but it might be too dark/bold for me. I tend to be more neutral/conservative when decorating. And yes I love the yarmouth blue but don't think I want it everywhere. It looks perfect in the dining room....See MoreDecorating/arrangement formal living/dining room
Comments (30)yes drapes will fo on the other window. I only had this one pair because we have new furniture and when we had this set we only had one windows. in regards to the "changing table" this is what it looks like. it used to be a dresser lol. it will NOT stay there. I just dont know what to do with it right now although I could move it upstairs and let my son just use it (the loft is going to be our playroom I hate having toys downstairs) but obviously I dont know what to do with this space. I like the edit with 2 pictures high vs the 3. my FIL is an artist so he will do the painting that goes on the purple wall. this is the color scheme I gave him to play with. he is thinking a gallery wrapped canvas (so it doesnt need a frame) I'm just trying to decide size. should I keep the canvas the length of the buffet table?...See MoreHelp me design 12 x 16 formal dining room

PRO2 years agoYou can certainly use the Chesterfied sofa in the living room coupled with a few lounge chairs. This image is just to position furniture in the room.

No accent walls with paint. Select colorful artwork instead to feature the walls.
Because even if you paint the wall, then you'll come back here and ask us what you should hang on the wall in front of the accent color.
This example is not for style or color, just to fill the room with stuff.
PROlast yearWe think you could easily do a sitting area or a living room area in the space in the front. Here are a few layouts that might work and for dining rooms, we might recommend looking at some dining room designs on here before moving forward:
