Living room layout help needed!
Comments (6)TV on largest green wall. Sleek sectional with one side on wall where sofa now is the other side with the back to the kitchen. Add an easy chair on the corner of the fireplace to view TV and converse with people on sofa. Large cocktail table round or square. A pair of benches on the wall beneath the spindles. Measure your room carefully and on your graph paper remember your square are representing 6 inches or half a foot. Look at sofas online and then draw a template and place it on your room graph paper. Place the TV on a console in your floor plan then add the sofa, and chair template and actually what sizes will fit in your room....keep it sleek and simple and no over stuffed. Sleek sectional with one side facing TV on end wall, and chair in corner Something like this set up but the TV would be where the fireplace is shown.........See MoreHelp!

Comments (10)Good luck with your new home! Be very careful with gallery walls. They can go wrong very quickly. I see more bad ones that good ones. Instead, I'd choose a very impactful piece of art on the wall where the tv is now. You might have to move the tv/sofa/table to orient more toward the window than the center. I am thinking you'll have about about 90 cm (35") left on each side of the sofa if you center it. If you want end tables, you'll have to shift the entire furniture arrangement toward the window. You want a nice walkway from kitchen, along where tv is now and on to front door....See MoreLiving room layout help needed
Comments (4)Getting a larger sofa for that spot is fine but be sure to "measure twice, buy once" for all your items (to be sure everything fits comfortably). Good traffic flow is another thing you'll want to address - that's very important to me. For a loveseat in the spot where the chair is, you may have to go with a "chair and a half", and/or go with a loveseat and do without the side tables on either end (you may be able to put a mini wall table between the sofa and the chair, if you need it for storage or the remote). Depends how much walking space you have to get to the piano. Is the piano going to get a lot of use? Make sure to get that chair/loveseat with very narrow arm rests, so you aren't using up a lot of floor space with arm rests. Please try to have an overall plan before you buy anything. Getting things for one room in bits and pieces sometimes doesn't result in a cohesive and unified look. I somehow always get a modern light blue couch, and I always love it! I believe in investment upholstery, but my friend gets a new sofa every few years. My couches typically last 10 to 20 years. Depends on your budget, and how often you change the decor. I'm 5'1". so I can't help you with the tall issue. I have the opposite problem! If possible, try to get upholstery in a local store. That way you'll get to see how soft, medium, or hard it is when you sit on it. I call that the "goldie locks and the three bears concept"! Another thing you may want to pay attention to is how high the back is. I like a low back, but some people like more back support. Another issue is how squishy the seat is. If elderly, disabled, or kids can't get up from your sofa easily, that may be a concern....See MoreKennedy
