Advice on layout in unusual shaped room

Hi! I’m moving house next month and my new place has an unusual shaped living/dining room.
I’d love any ideas of how to set up furniture to include a large three seater, a two seater sofa bed, a Samsung Serif TV and a table and chairs at the least.
I’ve added photos from the agents listing and the last two photos are my current home which is my preferred style and I’ll be using the furniture too.
Thanks!

Advice - help needed with layout / design of tiny shower room
Comments (11)Hello Karen, Yes a wet room style, there is no need for a glass partition at all (although some people do like to add one anyway) and in a large space can be nice. In your case there's no need and therefore no need to have a specific shaped tray.. The room is fully tanked and therefore the shower spray will go directly towards the floor. As you can have a wall or ceiling mounted shower rose angled where you want and the floor will have drainage usually a gradient but there are several options here. The "tray" often used will be hidden under the tiling or finish of the flooring and so specific shape negated.. For a seamless look I like floor and walls to match.. Of course how you want to deal with that is of course your preference.. It does though give you far more scope with the room, because you do not need to angle things to make them fit.. I always suggest wet rooms specifically for the reasons I mentioned and have been using this term for a long time which for me works to describe what I'm suggesting. I think it will work for you nicely.. You could also consider built in towel shelving and I rather like the seat in the second image.. some visual inspiration. : ))...See MoreLiving room furniture lay-out advice
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 (12)We are planning on putting a utility room in the second garage (which is that new little room at the top of the garage in Floorplan 2) as currently the utility room is in the garage (cold and next to the rakes!). We looked into the breakfast room idea as it was my favourite layout (and more conventional) but were told by the builder to go out to make it flush with kitchen external wall, would cost £20k+ and we'd only get a few feet more width before it starts blocking the view of the garden from the conservatory. It is really a dilemma - I think my biggest problem is how the current floorplan looks on paper - I feel it would probably work well but I don't think I'd even view a house with such a nuts floorplan (except out of curiosity!) :)...See MoreAdvice on tiny odd-shape shower room, please
Comments (8)Thank you both so much for your excellent suggestions. I am so heartened you think there are better configurations. Jonathan - I see that I should have given the measurement for the short wall in the corner, which is 900mm. Even though I cannot get to 1000mm x 1200mm,I think a 900mm x 1200mm shower would be a major improvement. Yes, I'd normally want to avoid opening a door straight onto a view of the loo, but I'd not rule it out to make the room better. Rinq - I've attached a plan to show the shower in more context. It really is the ultimate "add-on"! Sadly, there is no space for anything in the corridor but we do have an airing cupboard elsewhere. The shower room extension is partly below ground (with a French drain) so all the green areas below are banks sloping up from the house. This, and moving the drain outside the bedroom door, is probably why extending would cost so much. You've given me some more great ideas so I will start checking out the cost of moving the soil stack versus relocating the basin....See MoreT S
