Hi all, here is our living and dining room plan. As you can see by the suggested furniture layout, it is super tiny, and we have a big 50in tv to consider too (corner placement not an option). Do you think this is the best possible furniture layout for this kind of space?? How would you arrange furniture around this? Would you choose 2 or 3 seater sofas / armchairs or a corner sofa? We've got also radiators on a kitchen wall and on the right hand side wall...this is such a headache! Please help!!!!!! Any advise will be very much appreciated! Thanks a million!

Comments (3)If you are thinking of having a TV in the sitting space you may want it in the interior of the room (opposite of the doors and windows) where you will get less glare from the light coming through the windows. That is assuming there are no (or few) windows on the other side (it appears darker where the photographer is standing). If no TV then I would consider were I (and guest) would spend more time, sitting area or dinning table? And would put that near the doors looking out into the garden....See MoreLounge / Dining room layout help - Please :)
Comments (10)Hello, Mark! I'm Gabriela, a designer from Akiva Projects. First of all, you really have great ideas for your lounge/dining room! I don't see why not leave the fireplace where it is now and still do what you want - a false chimney breast built with an electric fire and TV built into it. By doing that you would have an advantage on your side: you will have the possibility of building a storage in the same wall of the fireplace using the thickness of the pillars that you have - a great way of blending them on the room! I really think that this could add value to your lifestyle. We offer a fantastic design service and would be happy to offer our advice.

Comments (3)Hi there, Looking at your layout and depending on how many people will be seated I suggest looking into corner shaped sofa along the long wall closer to the window so that you can set up a TV on the opposite wall and get the most out of your space. However it does mean you may lose a little bit of the light from the doors. Alternatively you could have a 2 seater sofa and an armchair where your cupboards are to hide it a bit and still give you plenty of seating. For your dining table I suggest to keep this closer to the kitchen. From the floor plan I don't think you will be able to have a very large table so if you do plan to entertain I suggest to buy an extending dining table. I am not sure how far the kitchen comes, if it is beyond the door on the opposite wall? Then I would suggest to going for a two seater sofa instead. Hope this helps, thanks Rukmini...See MoreI need help for T Shaped Living room+ Dining room layout
Comments (4)Hi Yasemin, I have added a very basic templated 3D model to give you the gist of how I’d lay out the space. Please take no notice of the styling, the templates are just what I had to hand on the computer. So I would use bench seating along the back wall for your dining table seating. This would allow you to push the table back further than you can with conventional chairs and thus keep traffic flow unrestricted through the space. There are a wide range of benches available these days from basic and beautiful wooden constructions (just add cushions if you wish), to sumptuous fully upholstered luxury pieces. There is also room for a sideboard for your tableware, you could create a beautiful sightline out of this by adorning it with table lamps and/or decorative accessories. Some wall art would be great here too. I wasn’t sure what the space was at the other end of the room (with glazed door), is this your main entrance? If it is you will need an outerwear storage facility of some sort. If its not a main traffic route then it could be a lovely space for a desk and study area. Good luck with your new apartment. L :)...See Moreeve

7 years agoHa, no... I think you'll be fine. I'm thinking that you can mix styles, as long as you keep a nice balance. To give you an example (and I hope I sort of mixed both your styles here):
- classic lined sofa
- vintage industrial dining table
- classic dining chairs
- modern sideboard for under the massive TV
- classic chandelier
- and I added a French shabby chic style chair, but you could also add a vintage leather tub chair or one that's the same style as the sofa, or....
Just take the time to shop and to measure! And then measure again! And then either tape furniture sizes out on the floor or use cardboard/paper or make a floor plan with furniture to scale to see how much space a piece takes up.
