Idea for Layout - Kitchen w/ Living & Family Room
Comments (44)It's been a while, but here's a new idea, any thoughts? Someone suggested turning the DR into a reading room, and although at first I dismissed the idea, on second thought I think that may be a better idea, as I'll end up using that more often, looking out into the backyard watching the kids play in the evenings, and being able to read and hang out in a nice environment. The new everyday DR would be connected to the outdoor dining area which would be nice for indoor/outdoor entertaining. Since people have been saying that having a bathroom in such an open area is awkward, that would be turned into a small pantry, and a small half bath would be added below the new reading room (former DR), with a door from the hallway. A TV would be behind the new bathroom wall towards the living room. Does anyone think think the TV wall is awkward? It's 9 feet to the LR window in front, but someone feels a little too tight to me. There's not much of a choice because I don't want to strain my neck by hanging it over the fireplace, and don't want to hang it in the reading room either since I'd rather enjoy the outdoor environment from there, and have some quiet, too. Thanks for any thoughts on this new layout....See MoreFurniture Layout advice 18x12 family room
Comments (3)How far is the kitchen from the back of your couch? It looks to me that the furniture is too close to the high TV for watching comfortably. Can you pull your furniture back toward the kitchen or is there not enough space? How about putting your TV on the blank wall that your sectional is against and put your sectional in front of the window, turned the other way. Might cover too much of the window and door but if it was far enough away, it might work....See Moreneed advice for best furniture layout for family room.

Comments (3)From what I can see nothing is facing the TV dead on . I usaully design media spaces with furniture placed to view the screen dead on for at least the sofa I have 2 sofas in my media room and also 2 chairs the TV is viewed easily from the 2 sofas and we have a swivel TV stand so it can be angled when needed for including the 2 chairs . . I think the issue is you keep trying to put the sectional in a corner just place it to ideally view the screen then add another chair if needed the sectional will float nicely in the spac e.put the TV where that seating faces the TV best....See MoreRelated Professionals
