Help: layout living area with off centre fireplace
Hi all,
We are buying our first home and are trying to come out with a plan for what it’s a rather unusual living/dining room layout.
We already have the sofa so trying to fit in all the furniture is proving tricky.
What is also giving us a bit of a headache is the fireplace positioned to one side of the wall, pretty much next to the kitchen door. We will be replacing the gas fire with a simple small log burner and I was thinking how I could enclose the area of the fireplace as there is no “chimney breast” as such because the wall is thick...
Below you can see the layout and dimensions of the current living room and then our attempt at some decorating/layout ideas.
We really like Scandinavian style but wondered if we could pull off a feature wall somehow?
Thank you so much for any comments and suggestions, we are really lost so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Comments (7)If you put a narrow table behind the couch you could use it as a desk/display area, if it has shelves you could use it for storage for dvd's or whatever. When you place the furniture away from the wall it gives the room a more gracious and airier feel. I don't know if you couch will fit in that direction but it would be worth a try anyway. :) Another thing you do is paint your shelves the color of the wall so it helps the room look brighter....See MoreHelp with my living room

Comments (2)If you are worried about the hallway being dark why not have a fully glazed door into the open plan area at this bottom of the stairs. This would allow you to see straight through the house when you walk in the front door and make the hallway feel much brighter and less closed in?...See MoreMaría López
