What can we do with this awkward space?
Comments (32)I got it! I got it! Inspired by the fabulous view and wanting something restful in the DR, put in a waterfall wall!!! It would be gorgeous. You can get them in glass, acrylic, copper, steel, colors, all kinds of things. And you can set them up to be just the upper part of the wall with a buffet or credenza in front. You can get them to be rain, bubbles or water fall.... And how cool is that, fire and water....

Comments (11)The t v? Huge! Assuming you don’t want it to remain on the floor... You (not I) would build this temporary wall in that wasted space …(you have to figure out how to get the power in there and be able to the walk around each end)…one side for the t v and the other side providing more counter space for the kitchen area. Which is great when you have company…you can use it as a drink bar first, and then as a serving bar. The big window is great, but permanent, so you need no egress. Putting the sofa in front of it removes only the view from the bottom…which isn’t so great, so no loss. Now..ta da…you have a sofa facing t v, and the rest of the space is left for you to fill....See Moreawkward corner media space - what to do here?
Comments (46)I think a built-in or a console is fine. I think a console would likely be less expensive. Really, a built-in is going to be just the shape of a console. That is all you can fit. As far as option 2, Yes, you would have an issue with the sofa the way I am showing or with flipping the sofa with the chairs. Design is not always perfection and involves compromises. I suggest you might have to spend $ on something going forward -Is that a bathroom? If so, the door must swing out. If not, can you change the swing? -How a bout a new sofa that is more compact.? The width of the room is a matter of math. You have 155". 155-89=66. With the current sofa, that gives you a total of 66" for door swing for both doors. What is the total of door swing for both doors total?...See MoreWhat can I do with this awkward, tiny living room?!

7 months agolast modified: 7 months agohow about putting in some shelves and paintin the same as the trim?
this is from pottery barn, but it gives you a visual
you can do 2, or 3 or however many you want.
space them out. display pottery or something that goes w/that room style.
is that a dog bowl on the floor? maybe display some framed pics of your pet?
