No idea on how to furnish our living room! Help on layout needed :)
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 MoreHow can I furnish an awkwardly shaped living room?

If you choose lower and smaller arms than shown in the picture I think that will also help....See MoreHow would you furnish this room?
Comments (8)Hmm... It's a bit difficult without knowing the dimensions of all the walls. My first instinct is to put bookcases in the corner to the right of the entrance? That would free up the wall between the two sets of doors for a big movie screen or TV, sofa opposite perhaps. And it gives that corner a purpose. Maybe you have space for a games table, like a football or snooker table. Bar?...See MoreHow would you set up this room for living/dining space?
Comments (6)It's a lovely room. Are you buying new furniture or trying to make your existing furniture work because an L shaped sofa might work well in the space and allow for two separate zones. Also, how many people do you need seating for? Can you get away with a small dining table for every day that extends for visitors?...See MoreAmy Rhead
