This living room is making me nuts!!
Comments (99)You really cannot remove the toys ( which are really minimal) unless you have a completely separate family room. I don't quite understand the security gates. Your toddler is going to make short work of them soon! I think there are other child proofing strategies. The big case pieces can be bolted to the wall and I would just remove the decorative items on the tops for the time being. Those with doors should have fasteners. I also worry about the wires I see around the gates. They should be secured behind the furniture. Safety first, absolutely! Give the gates to someone with dogs. I think your room is great looking - has lots of impact. I personally like the area rug. The geometric is great. But, if it is bothering you, swap it for a geometric in a different color. You need something exciting for that large wall area. Although, there is something to be said for negative space! Perhaps an artist could do an original piece for you. You have great instincts! You should trust them. You have a stunning home....See MoreBath Makeover--I Found the Right Glass Tile!

Comments (10)First, let me express appreciation for all of these gracious replies to our design dilemma! It has been a difficult room for us to figure out, and well, it feels good to hear from others. Miranda Rose -- this room got pulled into our remodel as an afterthought, mostly due to the flooring change. We don't have much of a budget, can do some furniture, paint and window coverings, (3k-ish) but don't have the $$ right now to change the doors (pocket) or slider. We could do this as part of our next project probably in about 2 years though. Would appreciate short term ideas, that aren't throw away with a longer term idea. Felix Pradas-Bergnes - I like your idea, but am sad we'd lose the seating looking outside. Maybe the chairs could be swivels. Do you think it would be strange to end the built in shelving short of the corners? As luck has it, that's where the light switches are. MiaCometLady - this is the layout we originally had, and is sort of our default.... we don't love it but it works at a basic level. All - If we toss out the TV as a needed feature, and focus more on reading, relaxing does this open up more design ideas? Again, thanks everyone!...See MorePlease help me make this LR wall interesting (fireplace?)
Comments (3)Just as a quick visual... In the first case, you might still want a picture between the TV and lamp, to balance the one on the other side. In the [second[(https://www.houzz.com/products/calistoga-blue-64-tv-console-prvw-vr~44934491), the console itself is contributing to the color and interest of the wall, and I don't think I'd add anything more. Edited to add: yes, people have been spreading their speakers around the room since they were the size of freight boxes. More spread is better sound, and as long as you don't put something right in front of the speaker, you don't lose much if anything....See Morehaweha
