help me to design my living room/open kitchen
Comments (2)Thank you, I think we could start by taking into account the constraints (doors etc), this is really the most difficult thing to place elements such as sideboard (if there is one), sofa, coffee table, kitchen island - or kitchen table - etc. I don't particularly want a TV corner, if you can fit one (or an ultra-short focal length projector) why not ? but it's not essential. I'm not against a room partition (between kitchen and living room), but taking care not to block the light and "break" the volume of the room. So, if anyone wants to try? A layout to propose, even roughly.... modules, furniture, elements... a continuity between the kitchen and the living room... all ideas are good to take, because we still haven't found the magic formula! thank you very much !...See MoreHelp Me Design My Living+Dining room combo
Comments (13)You've received some great suggestions. I think lighting is key. I would eliminate the bare bulb floor lamp by the fireplace and find some attractive lamps with shades. One for the console table, a floor lamp for the lounge chair and a table and lamp for the arm end of the sectional. I would budget to have an electrician come in and move the boob light in the dining room to center over the table once you've reduced its size. Change that to a lovely chandelier. If you can't afford all of that, you can swag a chandy from that connection to a more centered position as in the kitchen below....See MoreHelp me design my living room!
Comments (11)It's a beautiful house! I know this isnt your arrangment of furniture but just some reminders: Firstly, the sideboard/dresser infront of the windows has to go. It's way too large and blocking the view. Those windows are beautiful and would look great with proper window treatments (your option if you want treatments), we can get to that after we settle the sofa in. Since you have an angled fireplace, you will have to work with what you have. I do not recommend angling furniture sideways. It never looks good and it makes the space less efficient most importantly. The couches in the photos currently are a little too drab and clunky for the atmosphere of the house. You can have comfy, child-friendly furniture and still not skimp on design either. I will create a mockup of this room and show furniture placement and sofa possibilities. But before we begin, What is your preferred style for this living area? Or what goals do you have for how you want it to look, stylewise-modern, luxury, country etc. Inspiration photos will help you narrow down your options because at this point you have a clean canvas once all the previous owners items are gone...See MoreHelp me design my living/dining room
Comments (4)I dislike sectionals for nice seating. They are IMO the most expensive way to buy 2 seats that are comfortable . arm rests= comfort. Get a sofa and 2 chairs 4 people with arm rests instantly. Also much easier to rearrange your space from time to time . even at Christmas for the tree.. How does this space possibly be 475 sq. ft. From what I can tell this space is approx 16 x16 ft no where near 475 sq ft/ Put all the measurements on that drawing for every wall . Maybe the sq ft. is for the whole living space . I can't tell. Please come back aslo with the plan for the kitchen finalized since I see issues there for sure ....See MoreAU IE
