Blank slate living room furniture

10 years ago

Looking for some help for our living room on what types of pieces we should get and where they should go. We are building our house and we plan to buy all new furniture for the room. Aside from a rug and a lamp we own ZERO furniture that will go in this room.
Important details:
We want at least a couch, two chairs (club style), and a coffee table in the room.
The fireplace will be the focus of the room.
One part opens to the breakfast area which will have a long farmhouse table and the other opens to the entryway.
We don't necessarily need a ton of seating as we are just a family of 3 but we would like this room to be well designed.
No sectionals.

I've been scouring Houzz, Google and Pinterest but of the things I see I'm not sure what would be best for us. These are the questions going through my mind- Is having the sofa in front of the bay window going to look like there's just wasted space behind? Or would putting the sofa where it faces the fireplace look too symmetrical with the farmhouse table going the same direction? Could we add in a bench or maybe that's too much furniture in the room?

So what pieces (types, not necessarily which exact pieces) would you put in here and where?


One is the floorplan from our blueprints, the other is a picture I took recently just to give an idea of the space. For orientation I am standing in the breakfast area taking the picture.
