Swveng, 20 ft x 8 ft is a difficult space to create one space. If I'm not mistaken, there would have been a wall about where the TV is now sited and a second working fireplace. Is it possible to remove the chimney breast where you no longer use a fire? This may involve removing the stack right up through the house and roof. If it's a possibility, you will gain more space at that end of your lounge and in the room above as well. You may also want to consider dividing the spaces again with a new stud wall. Should you keep the long space open and remove the chimney breast, the TV unit could be moved to that spot. Another 2 seater sofa could be positioned facing into this area at right angles to the brown sofa to create a TV viewing area. The other end of the room with the bay window could have the easy chair in the bay plus a games table with chairs in front of the fireplace. This can be a homework area as well for the family. Once you work out how to use the space and which furniture pieces you want to retain , if any, then you can decide the colour scheme.

Hello, i need help redesigning my living room. It has to be a living room/workspace for 2 persons. I rearranged it likes 20 times and I'm out of ideas, it's driving me crazy. I would love to hear your ideas. The furniture does not have to be the same as now. Here are some pictures: https://imgur.com/a/1qAhqLA Thanks alot! All the best.

At first glance the rug is just too small, swimming about on the wooden floor. It makes the furniture look rather dotted about. It’s a nice room and I feel a bigger rug will make it more cohesive.

Thanks kazzh and Mandy for your comments. I hadn’t actually tried the sofa not directly under the bay as asthetically I thought it should go central in the bay, but I could give it a go, I have only got the 1 chair now as the other one was taking up too much space. Mandy if you could send a photo that would be amazing as if you have the same layout it would be nice to see how you’ve done it. I did paint the fireplace wall but decided to paint it back as like others had said there was no feature for it to look right. I think over time I will get a fireplace as it will probably make it look more complete like you have said. I hate seeing myself in the mirror all the time when I put one above the fireplace so I was hoping to get a smaller round one that wasn’t so in your face as I think the one I hung before was too big. I’m waiting for my dad to be able to hang curtains as i hate not having them I think it makes the room look bare, due to the shape of the bay window they need special ones which is costly and above my expertise!
