Completely redesigning living room due to loft conversion and building

Julie Mudditt

Completely redesigning living room due to loft conversion and building regs requirements I.e need to close off open plan staircase.
Fire flue is having to be removed also, hence I'm thinking about removing fireplace altogether and TV in its new spot will be the focal point. But, although chimney breast isn't deep, 6 inches, I don't know what to put there instead without making it a focal point!
The TV will now be on the new wall opposite chimney breast, stairs closed off, with corner sofa to left of chimney breast. It's a stupidly narrow living room.
I don't really want to consider knocking it out if I can help it!

    Hi Julie, is your fireplace located at the bottom wall? If this is the case, since you have to remove the fire flue and you are thinking of removing the fireplace, have you considered closing the wall there? This space could be used for storage options, or bookcases, or anything else really, even a beautiful large print.

    I would, then, place your L-shaped sofa just against the wall that will close the staircase, having the TV in front of it, adding a nice rug, an armchair and a coffee table.

    Should you wish to get more ideas about your room layout, I offer affordable e-design packages on my website www.amuriinteriors.co.uk

    Best of luck with your project!

    If you don’t want your tv to be the main focal point you could think about a bespoke unit that has sliding doors/art work to cover the tv when you don’t need it. A good mirror will add light and dimension too.
