What furniture configuration for this space?
With the tv being mounted above fireplace and the short half wall, I’m lost with what to do about furniture. Buying all new furniture and dont want to get this wrong. Help!

Blank slate, how would you configure this space?
Comments (16)Twins- Thanks for the clarification. You definitely need a larger addition, IMHO. Any chance of adding a bigger garage, to match the new addition? I don't know if you need the space, but it would seem to fit nicely into the overall plan...and probably increase the value of your home. I think your living space should be roughly equal to your bedroom/bathroom space. Think of a 2 story home...main floor living space, upstairs is bedroom/bathroom space. So...with that in mind, I would want to keep the layout of your first plan...and add the dining bump out, mentioned earlier. I'd add a rectangular dining room addition, where you have the wall of windows, in the family room. Then, you'd still have all those windows, but they'd be 10' to 12' further back, with a slider/french door on the 'left' side going out to a deck/patio, behind the kitchen. Great place for a BBQ. The fireplace/TV could be on the 'right' wall with the seating area 'as is' and maybe some windows on the TV wall, as you show in your pictures. This would give you plenty of room for the table and the seating area...without giving up kitchen and island space. You'll end up with a great entertaining space that can be flexible, when you have larger get-togethers :) As for the master bedroom (a bit off topic, I know) but I'd think about putting the master bath against the kitchen wall (closer to your other plumbing) and create a nice noise/privacy barrier. The closet could be on the front wall (as is) and the bedroom could have windows on the side and back. Maybe a slider/french door out to the patio...even a hot tub? Just a few ideas :)...See MoreWanted: wall length desk configuration for future homework/admin space
Comments (9)I like the table but the long desk is not a bad idea. A friend of mine used (I think!) a closet company to do a wall in their living room with builtins--a very long desk with hutches above. It looks quite nice and using actual furniture like from PB or RH (or Arhaus had some nice ones for a while) would be even nicer. You build it up like a library wall, with desks. If space allows, a cozy game/work table nearby--in front of the FP maybe? with comfy chairs... You want adequate cabinetry for school supplies, the printer, paper, etc. The trick to monitoring kids on computers is to not get them LAPTOPS. Desktops promote better posture, typing, and access for nosy parents. My kids are currently in another room on laptops. I don't know what they are doing but one is crosslegged on a couch and the other is on an exercise ball. You have a great opportunity to set up this family space properly! (The ball isn't a bad chair. It's just weird.)...See MoreWhat furniture layout is best for this space?

Comments (6)Would you consider placing TV on the wall we haven't seen; the stairwell wall? That keeps TV from being the focal point of the room when guests enter and allows placement of the sofa against the largest wall to be the focal welcome that draws people into the room. Previous owners had the right idea. Where was their TV?...See MoreRelated Professionals

It's a rental. Below, 1/4 inch to afoot
Nobody will die with the tv over the fire
Get an 84/86" couch
One 18" round lamp table,
A 36" diameter coffee table
2 comfy swivel chairs
Two table lamps that match
One standing lamp near slider
Get a console, open, by fire
Maybe something a bit more closed at the other wall
Do not ask me about a sectional because I will tell you no.

Look at the fire. The electrical is there. I can see a cable knob down to the left. Renters get stuck with rules.
The floor plan had11'8" x 13'8''
Look at the wall left of the fire.... and right of the opening. If there's more than 39 inches there? I'll eat them
Here. 48"? at most
So when you put it all together? And knowing most folks DO want a couch.....
Knowing it is carpet and she will need lamps?
You just mount the tv on a bracket you can tip down or lower,
Or you live with a fairly small tv.
Or.......you move in with whatever you have and you wait: )

YES, the carpet will drive colors/fabrics.: )
You can trust the floor plan....as the only good possibility UNLESS.....You skip the couch
Four swivel chairs.....big tv
Or......You must be straight on tv view from a couch, because for some reason your head doesn't turn?? ( I HATE ) THIS
In the end? The feet and inches, despite a very minor possible imperfection? They are telling you NO lies.
