Furniture layout

2 years ago

Hi, I am in the process of buying a bungalow that has an unusual shaped living space. it is something I want to address in a couple of years…but for now I would love some ideas on how to place furniture.

The wall with the clock is shown on the plan as the wall with the hob behind.

The table and chairs are next to the door to the hall.

Thanks in advance!

Hiya thats a really big space for a living room and unusual so theres a couple of different ways to approach this, youve not mentioned if the furniture in the pic is yours im assuming not as it says in the process of buying it. If you have a dining table id still keep it where those in the pic have theres as its closer to the kitchen and can be easily segregated to give it its own space. Im not entirely sure why they have a tv down there and the sofas at the existing angle but i would mount the tv where the clock is and have either the sofa facing away from the dining table so its its own space or they have rounded sofas which would work really well in this space and then if in the future you plan to square off the room they would still work lovely.

Thank you…that’s a good idea about mounting the TV…I had thought about the curve sofa, I do have 2 sofas already but could look to change them in the future.

I think once I am in there i can look at the space more clearly. I will keep you posted! Thank you.

Double sided woodburning stove/room divider query

I think you're right to change your plans tbh, I think pic 1 and 3 would work. Another option is a suspended woodburner. It's obviously not a divide but it gives you the break in the ceiling so acts as one. The first one attached is from fireplaceproductsUK. The other 2 are just images from leotrippi and homedesignht to show how they can act to divide a room. A much more expensive option is a glass fireplace, this is from acucraft fireplaces. I'm not sure how easy it is to find UK manufacturers/suppliers though. Alternatively you can just break the room with furniture layout and ceiling lights. The lights if hung properly ie at differing heights, clusters etc along with floor lamps will stop that cavernous feel. I can't obviously see the plan but if you're really set on a divide, and they are great!, you could set it off a side wall rather than down the centre of the room.

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie

How to make this awkward wall works better
Q

If you don't want to make the wall itself straight, maybe consider playing with some deep shelves ABOVE the TV, that could go from the diagonal wall to the straight line where you want to put the TV. Then behind the TV you could have a vertical panel of the same colour/material of the shelves (or matching the colour of the wall) to connect the TV stand to the first shelf and hide the awkward wall. To avoid having empty space right beside the door you could put a narrow shelving unit (with a back panel, not an open one) between the TV stand/panel and the straight wall (or beside it if it's short) that goes from floor to first shelf, again I'm imagining same colour/material of the rest so it binds seamlessly rather than looking like patchwork to fill the space. It's a little complicated to explain but I hope it makes sense!

We are getting a media unit made for the back wall of our living room similar to the below pic but painted in off white. I have attached 3 pics of our living room, unit is being built on wall where tv is currently. We will be removing the green unit beside the sofa. Can someone please advise the optimum furniture layout for the room with the new built in unit and should we remove the centre ceiling light?
