Living Room Layout Design

last modified: 3 years ago

Hello all,

Could someone please help with the layout of the below Living Room? Ignore Radiator below the TV, its meant to be a Victoria Fireplace but 3D Tool does not have one! We have 1 sofa 175cm wide and 1 table 180x85 with benches we would like to squeeze in but not sure what other changes we could make! The design below shows with additional sofa and built-in shelves, centred around the TV above Victorian Fireplace. Any tips or suggestions on how this would look? Do we think its too condensed? We also have 258cm wide Chaise Sofa which might fit in here but we don't know how or where!

Thanks!

It looks a bit squashed with the large table. How many people do you need to be able to eat a sit down dinner at it at any one time and how often? Is that table one that you own already or could you get something either smaller or something more flexible - like a coffee table that converts into a dining table, or similar? Alternatively do you own both sofas? Or could the central one be two comfortable chairs that could also be pulled up to the table for dining? I think in this kind of multi-functional space where space is at a premium it's better to have more multi-functional furniture pieces that do some of the hard work for you, so you don't need to have as many pieces and it's easier and quicker to adapt the room to what you want to be using it for. Hope this helps, Jane i-architect.co.uk

I disagree with the above comments. If you're open to big changes, especially if you plan on replacing the fireplace, you could install a lower mantle, and install the TV above it on a swing arm. This way, the TV and fireplace will remain the focus in the centre of the room, while still being able to view the TV wherever you deem most comfortable on any given day. I think the oblong shape of the room would allow for a couple different seating arrangements. Looking at the second image (fireplace on the right), imagine a compact love seat with it's back facing the double doors. Across from the love seat, 2 accent chairs, backs facing the photographer. Add a coffee table of your choice, and you now have a conversation space in front of the fireplace that is also ideal for watching TV. Thinking about the space behind the love seat, closest to the double doors; a half-height, full-width bookshelf would be lovely along the right wall (left of the fireplace), or even a cushioned bench seat with storage underneath, or both! One orientation to the right of the fireplace, and one to the left. Behind the love seat you could place a console table with lamps and accent decor that would create a visual division, making each seating area seem more intimate and purposeful. Add a full-width, floor length set of drapes on either side of the double doors and area rugs under each seating area and Bob's your uncle!

Hi there I’m building a new house and need to buy furniture as we are about 12-16 weeks out now. I have struggled with furniture layout as had originally been thinking of a corner couch in the middle or the roof so fire and tv would be visible when you sat down, but I drew it on floor in chalk and all it did was create a walkway around the couch with no real space for anything else - eg additional chair at the back end of the room etc. Felt to me like a waste of space and no function. I seem to have a lot of window and not so much wall to work with and as the ceiling is vaulted at the end where I have the fireplace seems to me would be odd not to orientate the furniture towards that view! I’ve drawn an alternative option in a programme I found online which I set out below with some pictures. The ceiling is vaulted to about 4.5 metres or so at the wall where the plant is in the picture below. Inset fire on that wall and tv on wall opposite over a sideboard. Any suggestions / improvements would be greatly appreciated- many thanks I’m advance!
