crazy large family with weird layout.

8 years ago

To the left of the room. Dining room with hardwood floors, where I’m taking pics, is hallway. Ideas for everything lol. And there actually is a lot of space behind the sofa, they recline, and the tv is going to go over the fireplace.

You've got that whole big room. But you've got the sofa tucked back, not facing the tv!

I would put the tv on the right hand wall with a long console under it. Turn the couch so the back is to the dining room on the left side of the room.

Flank the fireplace with two chairs, and put another two chairs across from those, floating with their backs to the entry.

You have a beautiful home!!! I absolutely love your entry way and fireplace. If you do a search for "spiral staircase" you can see some ways homeowners decorated the space. What type of decorating style are you going for? No matter what you decide on, I would suggest looking into some large prints and possibly re-painting - expecially with the dark couches. I am also a fan of having plants to brighten up the space and add some nature in to the home (ESPECIALLY with your beautiful fireplace)

Awesome! Thanks.. also, I was wondering what other furniture to fill the room? 2 accent chairs, with 2 foot ottomans, and a console behind those? Does that work?

Is the family 'crazy and large' or the room?! Just kidding :) Saw your title and laughed a little. You have a beautiful home. Love all the windows & sliders.

Yes, float the sectional and place TV on the wall with a long, beautiful console under it. By rotating the sofa, you can create a conversational grouping facing the fireplace with the other sofa section for your media.

Float.

When you move sofa to face the fireplace/tv, you might consider leaving enough space behind it to be usable -- such as for a desk, etc.

We agree with housegal, why not try floating the sectional facing the long wall and placing the TV on that wall with a TV console underneath?
