Furniture Design Dilemma Living Rooms

Please help me with my living room layout

2 months ago

We have just moved into a new house this week and I am really struggling with how to make it cosy. Our current furniture that we brought with us obviously doesn’t work so we will need new sofa’s and a rug etc, but with the door opposite the fireplace it makes it really awkward. We would really like to have lots of seating maybe 1 x large 3 or 4 seater sofa’s and maybe 2 x 2 seater sofas and put them in a u shape.

Love the catflap in your internal door! I see what you mean about the door opposite the fireplace but it can be overcome. How many people do you need to seat? This style of room lends itself to a tv watching area maybe with an L shaped sofa and a supplementary armchair and the other end could be two armchairs with a bookshelf or sideboard against the right hand wall. If the door really bothers you, you could change it to sliding as there is room. You might have to move it up or down slightly. With nearly 5m across you should have room for the sofa and the door to open behind it.

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'.

Hello CG, you can buy some of these and try them on site. From the pictures you posted I get the feeling you have 2 colors with similar saturation both fighting for attention. It's a little too much. I would keep the green but go softer on the red (i.e rust). You can also let yourself be inspired by the grey/silver/bordeaux floral and stripe pillows to create a brand new color scheme using these colors instead. For example, a very soft gray on the walls, gray carpet, grey/bordeaux combo in the curtains and for the sofa accents, pillows similar to these 2. It's decision time. Go for what speaks to you, but do it with elegance :-)

Help! how should I arrange my living room furniture?
Q

I'd love some advice on how to arrange my living room furniture, starting with a completely blank canvas. The room will be used as a child-free retreat, mainly in the evenings for reading, watching movies and some entertaining. The window faces south east so it is bright during the day and looks over the front garden. We will probably get built ins around the fireplace to store books. I am thinking about getting a corner sofa oriented towards the tv on the right side of the fireplace but I am worried then that the wall opposite the window will just be blank. I'd like to put a chair there too but when you are entering the room I think it will appear to stick out a lot. What could I put on that wall? Could I orient the room the opposite way by putting the tv on the left of the fireplace or would that feel strange entering the room between couches? Would it be better if the door opened the opposite way? What size should the sofa be, given the room is 4.1x4.2m? I have attached a diagram of the room layout and what I am thinking currently. Any suggestions welcome! Thank you!
