Living Room interior design has me stumped

8 years ago

Hi all! I am having a terrible time with furniture placement/design in my living room. The many openings (front door, stairs, hallway, plus open concept design) no foyer, multiple lines of sight and flow/traffic patterns have stumped me. I can’t get the room to balance and the spacing is off. Plus, I feel like the space feels ridged and hard, and the colors come off monotone.


A little history of the room up to this point:

Most of the furniture is new and purchased specifically for this room....but, something is still wrong. Ugh. (I have some other art that hasn’t made it up either — I can‘t bring myself to put holes in the wall until I have the furniture in place!) I selected the wall colors (SW rock candy and gossamer veil) and trying to execute a subtle “under the sea” theme. :) My husband is in the Navy and we just moved from Hawaii to the East Coast. We miss the ocean and green tropical foliage terribly! (Note my attempt to grow a plant...ha!!)


I’m after a inviting space that is functional, kid friendly with the sofa parallel with the TV.


you guys always offer amazing advice and solve the hardest problems. What should I do? And, my apologies for the bad photos!
