Living room layout ideas
Comments (7)My first thought is that putting the TV over the fireplace is not a good place, if you want 10 people to be able to watch TV at the same time. You are putting the TV on one of the narrow walls of the room, and there's a limit as to how many seats you can get facing the TV at a comfortable angle, because you only have 11 feet to work with. So you probably aren't going to like my suggestions, but I'm typing them out anyway. Sorry. Split the room up into two seating areas. Center one around the fireplace and one around the TV set, which will be on that long stretch of wall opposite the windows at the other end of the room. Put two chairs, one on either side of the fireplace, angling into the room. Put a loveseat or small sofa opposite them, facing the fireplace. A low coffee table or ottoman in between them. A small side table for one of the chairs, plus a lamp, either a floor or a table lamp, to create a cozy reading area. You could put a sofa table along the back of the loveseat/sofa for more lamps, or decorative objects, stacks of books or magazines, etc. You might also have room there for a small table and two chairs for playing board games or having a little snack or jotting a note or the like. Then in the "bottom" part of the room, either a great lounge-y sectional or a sofa and loveseat in an "L" formation, with the longer part of the sectional (or the sofa) facing away from the windows towards the TV on the wall. The short arm of the sectional (or the loveseat) would be in the middle of the room, with its back to the fireplace. A big, comfy ottoman in the middle would be a coffee table most of the time, extra seating when you need it. There would probably be enough room for another chair, either on the TV wall or against that half wall. The chairs from the game table could be easily moved if you need more chairs for TV watching. You can use area rugs to define the two separate areas. If you try to make the room one large seating area with the TV over the fireplace as the focal point, everything will need to be angled to that one wall, and arranging the furniture will not be easy. You could probably do it, with the right size sectional, but you will be left with a lot of "dead" space at the bottom of the room, which will seem to have no real purpose....See MoreL Shaped Living Room layout ideas

Comments (0)New house and no idea how to lay out my living room furniture or decorate these tall bland walls. Disclaimer: pictures are 3D generated. Assume all things in living room are movable (except TV/fireplace). 3D furniture pieces are more for a “style reference” Purpose of the post: Any suggestions as far as retailers with this style furniture, color schemes you’d incorporate, advice on literally everything, decor/furniture whatever! I want to know what YOU would do with this space if it were urs. My house is an open layout (pic attached) 12 foot ceilings in the kitchen/living/dining area, 9ft everywhere else. My current living room furniture is handed down from family. I’m getting rid of all of it. The pieces are large and bulky for the space. It really closes in the room and I think the space has potential to feel larger. The corner fireplace is seriously throwing me off my game. As far as furniture preferences go: I promised the husband a recliner. I personally would like my own chair as well. Here’s the kicker, we want them in front of the tv… I want to be able to seat as many people as possible, and I STRONGLY dislike a sectional. “Well kid ya shoulda thought about that when you designed the floor plan” yeahhhhh I didn’t think about that. Style/colors: Obvi I like black and white. I LOVE CONTRAST I also love shades of red I have grey and chrome incorporated all over the place. I honestly don’t know what my design style is, I think it dabbles towards glam contemporary but it’s not all the way over there. I have a cat and plan to have children in the near future so do with that info what you will. Backstory: me (25F) and my husband (26M) are both engineers and we designed this house from the ground up with no outside help. We’re super proud of it and it’s our personalities in a nutshell....See MoreRelated Professionals
