Design Dilemma Living Rooms Home Decorating

Living room layout help please!

3 years ago

Would anyone have ideas how to plan the living room out to best make use of the space?
Ideally, we'd like to plan for a contemporary modern living room look that makes use of the whole room e.g: wide TV units, or maybe integrated with atmospheric fireplace (tv/movie entertainment is main use of the room).
However, the problem is moving the settee either (1) blocks off the dining room or hallway entrance, or (2) patio door out to the garden..
This is how it currently looks, with a large empty space as a result
Is there a better way to set up the room to bring in the space , or does anyone have ideas for this space. (We've thought about window seat /reading corner but not sure how to plan it)
Also, we're open to replacing the settee/electric fireplace/removing things etc

The idea of the tv above the fireplace sounds great, I'd be inclined to change the double doors to slide rather then hinge and maybe take that closet in the corner out.

Sounds like the perfect solution and accommodations for plenty of guests in the living room. If you're able to share some photos of the real space I'd love to see!

Seeing it as an almost whole, I do think now that I like the soft, patterned curtain for the room. It could become overly severe, and that would be enough to stop that happening. Second thought, you don't need a side table for the sectional, but you do need something there to hold a lamp -- silver or glass would probably be best. The stand could be very plain, a box shape, even, in the same finish as the wood you already have. I liked these from wayfair.com -- though I might change the shades on a couple of them. Not that they're bad. The last one is an alternative approach if you fancy a bit of colour a-poppin'.

Simple is the right style for the fireplace. But that means you can't crowd it with large furniture or it easily gets lost. Can you rearrange the furniture?

hey everyone, So i'm sooo undecided on how to bring our living room together. We painted the chimney breast choc brown and the fire place cream which I like the look of. We have and a brown and flecked cream carpet and duck egg/ brown/ cream /gold striped curtains. The couches are yellowy cream colour but we may be changing them to cream and getting an L shaped couch. The bookcase came with the place so we probably move that out and the sideboard is going in the kitchen where there is a glass cabinet at the moment ( ill also attach photo of the kitchen) and will be getting a different one for the space. The TV stand is a warm oak and the nest of tables are beech. I can't decide on whether to get an oak and cream painted coffee table like this One http://www.greatfurnituretradingco.c...m-coffee-table .I saw it in a shop in dublin but they don't have it online to link it to. Or else a light oak one see image attached. I like the matching sideboard to the light oak coffee table but was unsure if I got both it'd be too matched. Our living room is north facing so a cold room so would want furniture to warm it up. Would get a rug aswell for under the coffee table. Was thinking of putting floating cream shelves above the sideboard and then a nice picture above the couch at the back of the room. I've attached photos of my living room and the furniture. What do people think?? Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the comments so far - here's the photo showing the empty space as a result of the current setup. It would be great to find a layout to bring the space into play, or any ideas for it

Electric fire wall mounted, new settee and sofa chair, coffee table, rectangular tv unit. Large open shelf unit at end of room. Also, ditched the wood and going cream carpet throughout.

Any suggestions appreciated!
