Family Room furniture arrangement HELP!
Comments (16)I understand what people are saying about not putting all furniture against the walls. But try telling my husband that. He thinks moving it away from the wall is wasting space and wonders you do with the space behind the sofas! I have the same hesitations myself. We actually have a beautiful cherry writing desk that we could us in the space of the entertainment center. My husband thought we would move it to the basement room. but honestly if we do that I dont know where all the toys are going to go! Plus I think it would be nice to leave it upstairs and have it in the family room instead. I also really like the idea of putting the LCD TV on the 1/2 wall and building some storage there. Does anyone have any pictures I can look at for ideas? My husband likes to do woodworking so I am envisioning some nice maple or cherry shelving and having the TV sitting on top or mounted over it. The room is 11'8" wide from the wall with the windows to the stairs dropping down into the room. I'm not quite sure that is wide enough to position 2 couches facing each other with the fireplace on one end and future TV on the other. I NEED more than 1 couch. As it is now 3 of us pile on it and the loveseat NEVER gets used. I think loveseats are a bit pointless. Usually only 1 person sits on it at a time. Also, I dont know about having to turn my head to look at the TV. Seems like it would get uncomfortable. Now I am thinking what may be feasible is to get the sectional, but pull the short side out from the 1/2 wall. Then I could potentially put our writing desk there (if we pull out the couch enough). Put the TV in the corner like we originally planned, and then have room for a chair and maybe automan to the right of the TV. Thanks everyone for all of the feedback (keep it coming). Its really making me look at things a bit differently. IF I went ahead with a sectional but pulled it out from the wall, what do you do with the space behind the couches? It seems like a waste....See MoreHow to arrange living room furniture in open living room?
Comments (26)Marie13100, I mentioned in the beginning we are in the process of remodeling our kitchen and we needed to move the dining table into our living room temporarily and cover everything from the dust. Lynn G, you’re right. Having to look at the wall would be a bit depressing. The most recent floor plan I posted that had the sectional along the window and long wall would be perfect because we can view directly outside the patio door which is in the dining room....See MoreHelp with furniture arrangement in long, skinny living room
Comments (137)Quentin, Thank you so much for the pictures! I did not see them until just now. The rooms look great! I see that you brought down the second red chair for the living room. And, put the bookshelf in the room too. That looks much better. Hopefully it works better for you and your family too. The two white chairs together in the front room looks like they work better for you and your family as well. Thank you again for the update. Best Wishes to you and your family, Marcie...See Morehelp arranging living room furniture
Comments (13)I would paint the entire room a warm white, including the fireplace. Romabio can match masonry paint to your wall paint. Increase the depth of the mantel with a beefier piece of rustic wood. Wall mount the TV where you have it now. Drywall the pass through closed and put the sofa there. Add a pair of swivel chairs in the window area. Build a "L" bench in the dining nook and use a pedestal table with a couple of extra chairs that can be pulled over to the seating area. Replace your coffee table with an upholstered bench (maybe with storage inside.) Top it with a tray and it can also be used for extra seating....See MoreRelated Professionals
