Lake House Living Room/ Dining Room Furniture Help
I'm looking for thoughts on how to furnish the very open floorplan of our new lake home. We'd like to keep it somewhat "beachy or coastal" in theme. Casual but not too messy (couch structure). We like the color pallate of the stone in firepalce so working with those colors as accents would be great. We'd love to get some blues in there a bit more. Thinking of staying with neutral couches but maybe a patterened accent chair? The photos are how the current owners have it set up. We will be starting from scratch with furniture for this area. Weve found a dining table that we love but not chairs. We'd like to keep the chair back height low so as not to interfere with the view. My husband also preferrs a bench on one side of the table if possible but not a deal breaker. For the remaining chairs we'd like something padded perhaps? Do we do a colored fabric? Does the table selection work with flooring color? We would plan to add a rug under dining table.
This area also flows right into the kitchen

Dining Chair (none of the wood options seem great. Also unsure of fabric color. Something along the style of this chair is what we were looking at. https://www.potterybarn.com/products/layton-upholstered-dining-chair/?pkey=cdining-chairs

Furniture placement in l-shaped living room / dining room
Comments (6)Great, thanks! I would use a round table that can extend to oval when you have company in the dining area, right over near the kitchen. One chair backing into the corner, rather than a chair with its back to the kitchen door. The desk can stay right where you have it in this photo. Sofa on the wall with the windows with a side table at each end. Two chairs across from it with a table between them. I sketched a pic but can't post comments on my phone, boo :(...See MoreLiving room/dining room furniture placement help.
Comments (12)I moved some things around and I think I like it better. I know the rug is too small and it shouldn't be "floating" but I don't want a new one until we get the other changes done. I moved the dresser into the dining room and hung (probably too high but couldn't convince 6'3" hubby to lower it and he had a point about being out of reach of the tornado. haha) the sign and pictures that had been on the mantle in the dining room. We also took off the ridiculous trim board they had up because we will be replacing the slider soon. So many things in this house like that silliness. I organized most of the books and moved the bookshelf. And grabbed a few canvases (I know they are small but can't remember where we left my big one) I did the flower, my dad painted the one on the right in Vietnam in '68. We need to fix the coffee table my dad built that's in the garage, I'll put it in front of the sofa, it's a little under 6'long, so it might be technically too big but, again, it's what I have. How'd I do?...See MoreLake Home Help - Living Room

Comments (3)If you want a TV in that room the only place it can really go is to the right of the fireplace (maybe to the left if you find that works better for you). It is never recommended to put it over the fireplace unless there is nowhere else for it to go. You have more than enough space on the right for a nice console. Maybe in the future you can do something more dramatic with the fireplace as it looks small in that large wall (or maybe you are already and it's not finished yet). Put a tall piece of art over it (something that is less wide than the fireplace). Face your sofa toward the fireplace and TV. The dining table should have the long side parallel to the slider. I can't imagine it fitting the other direction. I don't think it's a bad thing to have your old furniture in there for a while. It will help you get an idea of the right size for new pieces. You may also get better advice if you post a graph paper drawing of the space so the commenters know exactly how much space you're working with. The perspective in pictures is sometimes misleading....See More

8 months agoHere’s a few items that would suit this space beautifully. If your TV will remain over the fireplace, I would incorporate black in your artwork so that the black screen fits into the scheme. I included the throw pillow because if you find one you love it can really help define your color palette.
