Advice Needed: Furniture layout for Living Room
Comments (15)Tape the furniture patterns on the floor. The fireplace is a long distance from the kitchen. I like the idea of mounting to the left of the glass doors. Put cabinets or shelves on either side of the fireplace, put a similar console under the tv. Float a sofa (not to big and not a sectional) facing the tv. Chairs that swivel from sofa to tv give you more flexibility and are better for entertaining. Your existing chairs can sit on either side of the fireplace. Rug under sofa and complementary smaller rug in front of fireplace will define the areas. Put a small, low coffee table in front of the fireplace. I wouldn’t put the tv over the fireplace. The furniture you will have to put in front will take up the space you need for walking between outside and the library. That would be too much going on. Put solar shades over the glass doors if you are worried about light. Now, if you don’t have a place for a kitchen table elsewhere or are entertaining board game players, then put a round table and chairs near the kitchen and the sitting area near the fireplace with the fireplace mounted tv ( make sure you have a way on that fireplace to hide wires and manage heat)....See MoreLiving Room Layout Advice Needed

Comments (8)If this is the only room for a TV, the you need to decide where the TV will go for the best viewing. The sofa will go opposite that and then you can deal with what is left over. But if your hear is set on a 60" dining table you will need a 120" diameter space for the table and dining chairs around it.....that being said, place your dining table to accommodate what you want your dining area to be, then place TV and sofa. As you make one decision, may other possible decisions will fall away. Some examples of dining in a great room. 1. Floating near sofa and kitchen 2. Circular dining area, but still floating. 3. great room next to round dining room 4. dining table between kitchen and family room areas....See MoreLayout help for living+dining room!
