Living room furniture layout help! Bay window & fireplace.
Looking for help placing further seating in this lounge, with a Bay window and fireplace to contend with. 4 seater sofa planned for alcove on far right, previous owner had 2 seater sofa on opposite wall however with size of room this feels too far apart.
can we block bay window with 2 seater?
or snuggler chair in bay?
or two chairs in bay?
or go for two seater sofa on opposite wall?
open to completely crazy suggestions too!

Comments (10)Hi Clair, It is indeed a very tricky room with all the doorways around and the need to keep flow. The best in these cases is usually to go for flexible pieces of furniture that can be moved around easily to adjust the room to your needs, so I'm afraid that an L shaped sofa might not be the best choice as you mention yourself no matter how you look at it you might be disrupting a flow somewhere. Poufs, Ottomans, Small vintage nursing chairs (these are on wheels so can be moved around), are all great options. For example this picture where the poufs are placed under the coffee table and can be taken out when additional seating or even side tables are required.

Comments (9)One of the things people tend to do when arranging furniture in a room is push all the furniture to the perimeter of the room. Bring the left sofa tighter into the middle of the room. Then place a narrow console behind it to give you an area for some slim lamps and some pretty bits, You could even have a narrow bookcase type thing on that wall. Let us know what you think if you try it :)...See MoreSmall Living Room with Bay Window Layout
Comments (2)I would probably just put a comfy armchair in the top right corner facing the sofa and a chair in the bay (something which doesn’t visually fill the room). however it depends on how many you need to sit on a daily basis, whether a tv is going in the room etc. You could also put a small sofa/loveseat on the top wall, choose something on legs, with narrow arms and something that doesn’t contrast too much with the walls. Again a chair in the bay or look for a modern chaise or put in a window seat if you’re having shelves built anyway. A good trick is to mask things out with masking tape (or boxes are good if you happen to have any lying around 😂)...See More

3 years agoHow wide is the bay? (Not convinced the plan is entirely accurate if the previous people had a sofa on the left wall?). Ignore the furniture choice, was trying to find photos at the right angle! I might do something like this. You may also be able to have another chair on the left wall. If you go for an upholstered footstool you have more seating when needed and I’d choose a low back sofa so it’s not poking over the top of the window sill. If you don’t want the sofa to impose on the room too much, choose a colour that doesn’t contrast with the walls too much. Perhaps choose a rug that is large enough for all of the front feet of the furniture to sit on. You can always use masking tape to mark out the exact size of furniture.

3 years agoHi Lauren, the alcove looks quite dark to me so I would not suggest putting a sofa in this area. I would build a fitted storage unit (like colourhappy suggested) which is the full width of the wall. I would then position a sofa in front of this but sat forward so you can still access the storage unit but this will also help to centralise the furniture around the fireplace. I would then put a sofa in front of the bay window and then potentially an arm chair on the other wall if there is room. I have attached a couple of inspiration images which I have found to show you what I mean and shows a very similar layout. Hannah
