Living room furniture ideas, please:) - Our living room is similar to this living room. The space on each side of the fireplace is double the space shown in this photo. The space to the right is a blank wall looking out toward front of our house.
The space left of fireplace is two large windows.
The length of the room looks approximately another 3rd of what is shown. The front door opens into that 3rd of the room, no entry way, the view looks directly into our dining room thru a large arch doorway.
My question is where would you place the furniture, what type furniture, where tv should be . We do not have bookcases but had thought they would be nice on either side of fireplace, in the recessed wall area.
We have a cape cod house and have traditional taste. We have wood floors, red oak. We have molding and plaster walls. We have 4 inside large dogs that think they own the living room:) we have had 2 different furniture arrangements but never exactly like I envisioned. It drives me crazy when the room is not properly proportioned :( I know what I like but, a big but, I can not make it happen.
Any help would be much appreciated :)))) »

dmwaldman Maria, thanks for the reply. I will contact them and see if they ship to the US. They have a picture of it on their website.
This website is great, who knew eveyone would be so responsive.
Maria Killam Absolutely! All pops of colour look good with black and white. It's if there's no white and only black that you then should avoid colours like orange (halloween) and yellow (bumblebee). Maria
This classic arrangement of four armchairs placed on the diagonal around a circular coffee table is one of my favorites. I've recommended it many times to clients who have difficult living rooms, but find that people are often afraid to try it. It is amazingly functional. The fireplace, window and entrance are all clear.
