Layout for L-shaped living room

3 years ago

I’m trying to decide on a layout for our L-shaped living room. We want to include a tv/sofa area, dining table and possibly a work from home office space as well. The room is large, but a strange shape! Any thoughts welcome :)

(this is my current design)

Hey Hannah,

You've smashed this layout. Everything is sitting in the right areas, but we do have some suggestions as to how a few pieces are placed.

1. the sofa - we think you should flip it so that the longer end is facing the wall.

You can then pop the accent chair, lamp & maybe a side table against the wall with a piece of art hanging right behind them. This way you make use of the light coming through the window, cover the radiator but also create an intimate corner for reading or chilling in general on the other end.

2. the L-shaped desk should be against that wall.

Moving in & out of that space - especially of 2 people are using it at once - will be a slight nuisance. The backs of your monitor & laptop screens will also be on show throughout (potentially even when you're dining) with cables dangling from the ends.

We think that by positioning yourselves facing the wall, you can enjoy a piece of hung artwork or shelving with your favourite bits & bobs but also you'll be hiding a plethora of techy bits which become an eyesore in a well designed multi-faceted space.

3. lastly, you seem to want a dining table with both chairs & a bench for seating. We think your dining chairs should be against the wall (for added visual height) while the bench sits opposite them. You can then zone the space with rugs as you have that fit the space perfectly.

All in all, we love what you've done with the layout & hope our suggestions help you finish it up nicely!

Links online? It's hard to advise with out seeing the exact colours, shapes and styles of any of the furniture or the rooms. Ideally we would also be looking at how much light the rooms gets! White is always great to pair with grey so without seeing anything I would recommend white on the walls and then a nice warm accent colour like orange or a warm rich purple or navy blue. Will be better to come back with pictures when you have some.. And we can look in more detail. :) all the best

Hi rinq, Thank you so much for your time and suggestions. We do actually need a 6-8 seater and that's one of the reasons we are getting a new table and were thinking to get something that would add some warmth and cosyness to the living room. Do you think perhaps a rug under the Mango table would solve the orange shade that might clash with the flooring? Also I do like the second table. However, our preference is more towards warmer more earthy Colors. Are there any other Color chairs that you would suggest? Thanks again Meli Thanks
