Snug room layout
Hi all
We have recent bought our 'forever home'. Each room is in need of refurbishment and we thought we'd start with this room as a 'snug.
We would like a 'modern yet traditional' and cosy vibe with green or dark blue painted wood panelling a 'bookcase wall', woodburning stove and inbuilt TV.
The room would have been the kitchen when the house was built and has a huge hearth which we are finding difficult to plan around to fit our initial ideas.
I was initial;ly thinking of having a woodburner in the hearth with a TV above but am not sure how well this would work. Other thoughgts would be to offset the woodburner in order to fill in some of the hearth and have a lower TV or even building the TV into a 'bookcase wall' opn the opposite side of the room or the wall with the door.
I would love any suggestions or layouit ideas / pictures of your own rooms for inspiration.
Thank you so much!
I have attached pictures (sorry for all the mess!) and a rough plan of the dimensions..

4 months agoI'd suggest two options:
- You could consider mounting the TV above the fireplace, BUT I would redesign it to make the top of the opening much lower so that you can mount the TV at a better height.
- Alternatively (probably my preferred) build low cupboards either side of the chimney breast then on one side mount the TV with bookshelves above, and on the other side echo this, but with the bookshelves starting directly on the low cupboard. A coup0le of random Houzz images below giving just a hint at what I mean.
Hope that helps!

Room layout - ideas?
Comments (25)Take out sofa, use beanbags and those blow up seats for their friends. Coloured rugs for tumbling and crawling on. Supersoft teddy bear blankets so they can curl up. Add in one of those soft blanket boxes for toy storage and so you have somewhere soft to perch when you are with them. Paper half way up the wall in the wall paper that kids can draw on, so they can decorate in whatever colour they like and you won't mind. A childs lift up desk, bookcase and some crazy lamps in weird colours. Then close the door, collapse on the sofa that you have moved, breathe a sigh of relief and thank your lucky stars that you have another room for the kids to go to. (Grab wine and pretend they aren't yours for half an hour! ;-) )...See MoreHow should I layout my sitting room?

Comments (0)I have a snug area off my kitchen/dining space for the Tv & seating. i am looking for the right sofa, looking at corner units to suit this space yet give us comfortable seating for 4. the width of the area is 2.9m & my length is open but less than 2.4m as it will impact on my dining area. Think the best option is longer sofa side to the right, against the glass & shorter side across the tv. I need to be able to access the seating & want to keep the height low & preferably not a sofa that goes to the floor so that it has the appearance of making the room spacious. another option is to fill the space for a sofa so you maximise the seating but I still need to access the sofa. Any advice please on what type to use modular, corner etc and type & size...See MoreLooking for living room layout advice
Comments (3)Hi Rebecca, Congratulations on your new home. I have quickly sketched out the floor plan of your room in 2D and 3D. For the first option I placed the 2 seater in the window alcove, however I dont know the height of the window so this may not work if it is a large window as you dont want the furniture to obscure the window. I hope this helps :)...See MoreChristopher Wood

4 months agoI agree with the above. I personally prefer the centralised option. Maybe re-configure the internal door to open the other way, so to give space to potential book shelves in the alcoves.
