Have you considered a tilting wall mount for your tv?

You have options!

If you relocate the tv to the brick wall, what would the back of the sofa or sectional be facing? If it's the kitchen/dining area it can have a homey effect to define the spaces utilizing furniture. Orienting furniture this way will also ensure having one focal wall versus the two you have now but it's certainly not the only great option!

You're correct about the back of the couch sort of stunting and rerouting the traffic flow. It's really a matter of preference in this case as either layout would work well with your room and the assumed spacial adjacencies. Under either layout, a sectional seems like it would be the right way to go.

Happy shopping!

The adjustable wall bracket as suggested above will solve your problems

However, it would look better if:

• your floor lamp was placed in the opposite corner next to the chair for the purpose of reading
• The wall decor above your sofa was wider
• The ceiling lights were focused down or on the walls

THANK YOU for your suggestions, which I find helpful.

In the current layout, what’s on the left of TV is the main door. By floating the sofa across the accent wall, I think it would better define an ‘entry way’ as I don’t have a foyer.

I moved around my current furniture to test this layout, and it seems to work. Although I think I would need to buy new pieces that have the appropriate scale.

I have a 55” TV. The new layout would put the couch around 7 1/2 feet from the TV, which I still find comfortable.

I’m honestly still getting used to the idea of a floating sofa because it’s such a huge piece. But function first they say!

We were going to suggest trying to switch the couch and chair. It should be simple enough to do so and then the people on the couch could see the TV easily.
