Comments (4)Hi. I'm not sure if the sofa is going to be best sat opposite the fire as the sofa width is wider than the alcove? I'd put a console behind the sofa to dress with lamps etc. if you have the tv in the larger alcove have you thought about using a console table? Either one with a large single drawer for the sky box (will need a magic eye or whatever they're called plus a hole in the back for leads!) or one with a shelf at the bottom. They seem quite difficult to find in the right size but have found one below. Perhaps a chair facing the sofa kind of angled semi in the alcove with a floor lamp behind . Re oriental feel, oka have quite a few oriental inspired accessories etc so maybe a lamp and a piece of blue and white china. They also do faux hydrangea which would suit your look and some lovely cushions! You could also consider a darker wallpaper in the alcoves similar to pic that will follow just as an idea to add pattern. A French grey would be lovely, just check the undertones with your sofa. I'm not sure if you have the sofa already but try placing paper templates in the room if not. http://www.lauraashley.com/uk/made/furniture/p/brunel-console-table...See MoreNo idea on how to furnish our living room!

Comments (10)In some ways it’s good to have such a large TV. Let’s face it you are sitting a very long way from it in your lovely big room! You are wondering how to make the door end of the room look used. I think we are talking trade offs with the design here, in terms of cost and layout. If you can spend a bit of money it might be worth investigating how to design a new fireplace that incorporates the TV. Sounds horrendous I know, but because you have a large tv it might work, though you’d have to be VERY careful about balance in the positioning and get specialist advice on insulating the tv from the heat from the fire. You also need to consider how much time you spend watching tv and if the upwards angle of view might give you a stiff neck from where you place the sofa...BUT... this would enable you to bring Carolina’s room layout back towards the door, making the room look more occupied, you could then also use celery girls idea to put a sort of separate more intimate seating area in the bay window - two statement chairs and a little table, maybe flanked by a pair of enormous table lamps in front of the curtains to fill the corners and highlight the curtains at night....See MoreLiving room layout help needed!
Comments (10)Thank you, E D. The tv is in the corner right now and it looks bit awkward to me there, because of the fireplace and the position of the sofa. I think if you put it on a low tv cabinet, it shouldn’t block too much of the patio door. The door is quite large. It would be good if Bev could move the furniture around just to see if it would work. I like the first one tbh, it has more potential: more people can sit watch tv but also is quite social too Thiis Ikea Vallentuna modular sofa with storage would be quite good 260 cm x 193cm...See MoreLiving Room layout - Help Needed!
Comments (6)Hi your room is very similar in shape to ours - longer than it is wide! We decided to buy two couches one slighter smaller than the other. Although we have a wood burner the chimney breast is on the outside so no recess and we have a window in that wall too so couldn’t put shelving either side which I love - anyway I’ve posted a few pics I appreciate our taste maybe different but this is how we laid it out...See More
