Angled Wall - Seating Dilemma

2 months ago

I really want to get a reclining sectional for my living room but for the life of me I have not been able to find anything that fits.

I uploaded the dimensions of the living room along with a picture of it empty and a picture of how it is currently decorated. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

According to your plan, the space where you are standing to take the pictures is a closed wall. Is that correct?

The sectional can only be 108" in each direction.

My apologies, I noticed after I uploaded this that the diagram was missing the opening on the longest ”closed” wall. there is a 7.5’ opening on this wall.

I appreciate your recommendation!

Angled wall?

My bias is that I like the squareness of your original plan. There's a tidy simplicity to it that appeals to me. I suspect the corner will be much less visually obtrusive in real life because you will naturally look through the windows you have and ignore the wall. I think the view as you enter would be better without the angled wall than with it--- I don't think sliding doors look that great, so I prefer the design that hides the sliding door somewhat. When you imagine spending time at the island, what will you be doing? If you're cooking, then I think the view isn't that important, because it's not the kind of task that tends to involve gazing out at the view. If you imagine spending time sitting at the island, then you'd be facing the other way. So I can't see making the view from there all that high of a priority. It's your house, not mine. I think the door could be ok, but it's not the way I'd go-- I have lots of reasons, but I don't actually feel all that strongly. :)

Can we see a pic of the whole room? In general I would steer away from things that could easily look cluttery like gallery walls or displays. That space is not that big. I think it's a nice spot for a chair and side table and lamp. As long as the chair isn't turned away from the rest of the seating it should be fine. Every seat in the room doesn't have to be set up for optimal tv viewing.

I think your general arrangement will work, although I'd skip the sectional. A sofa and two armchairs will be easier to configure. Another option is to place the TV opposite the fireplace such as this: A portable bar cart in front of the windows to the right of fireplace could work well.

Thanks for the comments, everyone! sorry if the space is still not clear. Beverly, from the graphic you show above, the hallway to the left just leads to a small powder room, then to the garage. The curtains to the right, with sliding doors lead to patio and lakefront backyard. The blank space adjacent below leads to the kitchen (which we will eventually be remodeling). Bottom left past the bar, is the dining room, but separated by a wall. The house is 30+ years old, so I expect years of design and remodel going room by room. I just wanted for now to tackle what I thought was an easy decor element on that wall... :'-( maybe not... @Beverly I've seen some of your comments and details through Houzz... would love some more of your input!! Please!!

Do the current sofa and love seat recline?

Your current set up is the best. You just need to have your reclining sectional wrap around to into the area where your love seat is currently located or the other side so the back of the short side of the L is to the opening.

Do you know how far away from the wall the sofa needs to be placed? Are you sure you don't want a regular sofa and one recliner chair? Or, a regular sofa and a big ottoman to put your feet on?

I live in an apartment and we were looking for a reclining chair for my husband but it ended up that it needed more clearance than we could accommodate in the room. We went for chair and ottoman instead.
