Living room design...help!!

I am in a dilemma with my living room design. I was generously donated all of my furniture from family/ friends when I moved in and so am ready for a revamp. I have an open plan living/ dining room with open stairs- I love the whole open plan however don't feel that it's very cosy. The kitchen is to the left of the living room- I know it is better to have the dining area here however I want to keep the living area here due to French doors, windows, better light and it being more spacious away from the stairs. I was thinking of having a large corner sofa to separate the living and dining area, and wanted a fireplace to draw in the living room to make it feel cosier. I was planning on having a fireplace where the tv unit is currently -I'm unsure about putting the tv above the fireplace or having it on a unit where it is and having the fireplace to the right- however this will not be central so not sure if that will look odd....I am thinking grey, black and white colours, I want it to be modern and contemporary. The door in the photo is not used. Any help and advice is welcome and would be greatly appreciated!!

Comments (2)I'd be tempted to enclose your stairs and create a storage area under them. Also, if you want it to be a cosy area then you need to be careful with your colours as black grey and white can feel very cold if not done right. Could you put the fireplace between the window and the door?...See MoreLiving room design help please
Comments (25)Hi we have oyster split face tiles in our downstairs loo on one wall. We chose to go plain on the others as it’s such a feature. Here’s a pic - i’m sharing less due to colour but because if you zoom in, you can see the finish on our tiles is really quite different. I didn’t think they needed grouting as they are meant to stick out at irregular angles, but we don’t have gaps like yours so maybe they do. I do know our builder said they were a total nightmare to put up!...See MoreLiving/play/dining room design help
Comments (16)Thanks a lot all. Caroline I love your renderings, thanks so much for your time. But unfortunately our kids (mainly the older one) doesn’t play alone on his room so we need the toys in the living area :/ I’ve thought about some of the other combinations before but there are some problems: piano cannot go next to the radiator, and TV cannot go on top of piano cause then it is too high. The wall next to window has a stupid shape but we may still be able to move the piano between window and patio door, and take the toys next to fireplace. I didn’t want to put TV on top of toys initially because of the risk of damage by our careless kids and their potentially careless friends. It’d have been much easier without the kids but hey ho, we said we’ll keep them :P...See MoreFirst home living room design help
