New vacation home-great room/living room ideas needed!

8 years ago

Hello! it's been a while since I've been on- but loved the advice the last time I posted -so here I am again! We recently purchased a new vacation home in the country-there's a lake nearby and skiing in winter, so perhaps our decor should reflect this in some way. The first and toughest dilemma I have is how to position the furniture in our/living-great room w/ fireplace. There is a kitchen island that is very near the space and the only place to put the tv is in the corner near the window-bc it is wired that way! Thinking of a sectional around the fireplace w coffee table facing the towers the corner, yet encompassing the fireplace area? not sure-need suggestions, plus any ideas for a room like this. I am attaching some pics of the area in question. Don't mind the people in some of the pics-just needed to use the best ones that show the space-t

hanks so much in advance :) tina

I see a leather sectional sofa. It would be a durable, comfortable option for lots of cozy weekends by the fire.

yes thanks! but my real dilemma is how to position it-and maybe even add a chair as I can only really put the TV in the corner by the window-perhaps on a low console etc. should it be a right arm or left arm sectional etc. thanks so much for your thoughts again :)

Another perspective of the space where TV is going and photo at door looking back towards the kitchen and measurements of the space would be helpful. Pretty floors and FP. Is the vacation home for a family or rental? Are you going to be watching TV most of the time or entertaining around the fireplace. Are you set on a sectional?

Measure out your space to see how much usable space you will have for the furnishings. A sectional might or might not be a good option for you. As you shop gather dimensions of pieces you like then use tape and place it on the floor so you can see how it will look space wise. As mentioned above pick your focal point. Your fireplace is so nice it seems that you should work around that.

Is the island pictured at the bottom of the last picture? You're thinking the sofa will go between the window and door in the first pic? Can you post additional pics or measurements of the space?
