Furniture layout...need help!!

10 years ago

Trying to decide where to place furniture in our front living room. I wanted to do two sofas facing each other but if I do that, one sofa will be in front of a bedroom door. There would obviously be room for the door to open, but is it weird or not okay to put furniture in the way of a doorway. I'm including photos. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

How about a small L-shaped sectional with a tv where the teepee is?

I think bc of all your door ways and entryways, 2 sofas placed in an "L" with 2 armless chairs across from one of them would make the most sense. love the teepee, hope it's staying somewhere. Btw, is this a room that will have a TV?

I think its totally fine to have the couch in front of the doorway if there is plenty of space. The doorway isnt a focal point. Beautiful house. Would love to see it when you get furniture in.

Thanks! The teepee is actually staying in this room for a little while until our boys out grow it. I want to get at least one piece of furniture in there though so adults have a place to sit! If I do the two sofas facing each other, I'm just going to get one sofa for now and get another one in a year or so. There will probably never be a tv in this room.

Oh just saw your floorplan. It looks a little close to the door but your couches also look too far apart so maybe it will work

Sorry for the duplicate posts!! There must have been a website glitch when I tried to post earlier. I'm new to all of this! I'll try to fix it!

I would purchase sectional pieces that could be used as a sofa when placed together or as chairs. IKEA has a few pieces that you can do that with, you can even mix colours with covers if you wish. And that way you can move them around and change it up as time continues on. Large ottoman in the centre maybe nice as well and used as spare seating when large amounts of company come over.

I know, I know! Sorry, it wasn't my fault! It kept telling me that my post couldn't go through so I kept trying again. Apparently, they were going through!

Laura, happened to me too when I posted a dilemma. It posted twice....and there wasn't a way for me to delete one of them. Eventually Houzz support did. But that's the only way I think that it can be deleted. No immediate way to do so otherwise.

Thanks, Avery! Glad I'm not the only one it happened to! People are giving me a hard time about it, but it was out of my control! Sorry everyone! I'll email Houzz support and see if I can get them to fix It!
