L - shaped room - layout advise
I’m looking for some help/inspiration in laying our my lounge/ dining area. We have recently redecorated and are loving the new warmer wall colours. I am stuck however I’m how to layout the furniture.
I’ve included a before and now picture. We much prefer the sofa in the new location, it feels more spacious and we appreciate the natural light that the position now affords. However, due to the layout of the room there now seems too much space between the sofa and TV. The wingbacks in my mind also look odd in their location and also aren’t serving any purpose (you cannot see the tv).
We are looking to purchase new furniture so can change/remove the wingbacks and also move from a corner sofa to a traditional style to accommodate a new layout. We aren’t keen on a wall mounted television so the TV stand will remain.
Any ideas or thoughts most gratefully received!

2 years agoThanks Minnie. I really do like that idea. I wonder though if the space behind the sofa then may look a little sparse? I wonder what I could put there 🤔
I’ve added some more pics - I’m not sure how to edit the original post 🤦♀️

Comments (11)Turn the toilet round - the waste pipe can go out sideways and be boxed in. Build a partition wall (shown in red above) so you have enough space to put a shower against it (the shower shown above is 1100mm x 800mm). Or, if you don't want to lose the light from the window make the new wall half wall half glass (as in this picture), or all glass, and have a custom made shower enclosure. There should be enough space to fit in a basin so the door will still open. Good luck with your project!...See MoreL shaped living room/dining room
Comments (3)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...See MoreHow to layout furniture in this L-shape living-dining room
Comments (1)'it's a tricky one as it's a big space. The only thing for me that poses a small problem is the desk / office, so I hid it in a large double width storage unit, with a chair either side to be pulled round when in use. Opposite that is the bookcase by the window and a reading area with two armchairs. Further down, the dining area with large table for 8 people. This ties in by way of two large identical rugs to the lounge area with fireplace and T.V...See MoreLayout for L-shaped living room
Comments (2)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!...See More
