design dilemma - living room layout

Hi all, we are struggling to figure out the layout for our living room. We don't know where to put the sofa and the TV. Any ideas? It's a pretty small room and odd shape as the door opens at an angle.

If you can put wall measurements on your plan that would be great.

If your plan is to scale it looks like a big room!

Hello. I've been reading about rugs and allergies and decided to have a go with either jute or polypropylene rug, which should be fine in my circumstances. I wander if this designs are a bit too crowded for my space: http://m.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-350020090?docid=221816 http://m.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-350039225?docid=221816# This is my favourite so far but they don't have the larger sizes available: http://m.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-324515229?docid=221816# Or this?: http://m.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-324152642?docid=221816#searchkeyword=jute rug Tomorrow I will post some pics of the room at present. It's been used as a playground so it's not great but.. Hopefully you will help me find a nice rug to add :)

Hi there, We had exactly the same problem about 6 months ago and despite all the squared scale paper in the world, I just couldn't imagine how it was going to look and went round and round in circles! Have you considered a concept planner? We used one and despite the fact I was standing in 3 separate rooms with doors, windows and openings in completely different places, she worked off the architect's plans and came up with photo quality 3D renders showing exactly how the different options would look. We even had a YouTube video of the 4 different layouts, so you could see how it would look as you walked around the room. The pics below show the room I was stood in as our concept planner did the 3D renders, how they actually looked and how the room as turned out. I am a huge fan and find the whole thing quite fascinating- it's like looking i to the future :) Thanks to using them, we were able to order our kitchen before the building work was done, so didn't have to go without a kitchen for ages! How the 3 separate rooms looked when the plans were done by our concept planner... A few of the 3D renders that she did at exactly the same time... And how it turned out.. It's completely cheating but it makes it a lot more fun and in our experience a lot less stressful :) Best wishes, Claire

Hi Sinead, We like your current layout, the position of the sofa and the tv is probably the best. You could change the position of the coffee table, to be in front of the sofa. You could perhaps add a wow factor console on the empty wall, and a nice armchair sofa and a floor lamp on the corner. A picture on top of the fireplace and a large mirror would add a lot of personality to the room, and you could also change the curtain (hang them higher, and long to kiss the floor) We offer a very affordable online interior design service, so we could work with you if you are interested. We would discuss your ideas with you and put a scheme together that brings the best out of them. By sending you a moodboard with all the elements we can help you to visualise the space. You will also get a shopping list with options to fit your budget. We are not linked to any suppliers so our recommendations would be tailored to you. Let us know if you are interested. We could design your lounge for 60euros. www.lucianasanchez.com

I think you can move the tv to the wall opposite the window. you can fit some sheer curtains and a blackout roller (motorised or smart) blind for privacy in the evening and if you would like o to watch the tv in the daytime. your brown sofa can go near the window and eventually be replaced by a middle-sized corner sofa or sofa with a chaise. i think it's a nice place to sit in the daytime with a book, or as a family. you can see the window, fireplace, tv and have a good space for a conversation set. you can have a comfy chair in the corner with a floor lamp. you would have enough space for a desk and some storage near the door and you can hang the guitars on the wall with special guitar wall holders. a mirror in the corner with a lamp would reflect some light into the room and will add depth to the space. a large light rug/kilim placed on top of the carpet will bring light up the space also

Hi Rachel, I would say avoid the thoroughfare area between the two doors and look at the area near to the window. Depending on how large your sofa is, I would be inclined to position it behind the door from the hall and the TV on the wall opposite. Alternatively you could look at a corner sofa and position it in-front of your 'corridor' area between the two doors (with it's back to the 'corridor' between the two doors) and the return part of the sofa on the wall next to the entrance to the kitchen. Hope this is helpul. Regards, Jo, Room4 Interiors
