That is a very narrow area, and you were smart to leave a walkway.

I suggest you have no rug and buy an upholstered bench/coffee table instead. You will get some color, but a bench won’t define the area as does the rug.

I like this one for the leg color. On. my minotor is shows as the same color as your check chair.

Love how neat your home is!

One thing I noticed is that you have three consoles/chests lined up on the right side of the picture. There's just a whole lot of furniture in a small space.

It's hard to tell from this one picture but could you swap places with the TV and the sofa? Possibly use one of the other chests to go under the TV and re-purpose the TV console. That might make it easier to place a rug, too.

More pictures would also help.

We need to see more pix/more angles. I like a rug to anchor the seating, and yours is not doing that. I like them to slip under the front 1/3 of the sofa. I also like it to extend past the ends of the sofa about as much as yours extends past the checkered chair. Get out the painter's tape and try taping that out on your floor. Hopefully, you'll tape out a standard sized "rug" that won't take up much of the walkway.

I know we have a lot of storage pieces, but there is zero storage in this house! We had to get some pieces to store things. Eventually I want to replace the tv console with a narrower one and mount the tv to the wall, but it just hasn't happened yet. And I can't swap the sofa/tv...there are windows behind the sofa so the layout won't work that way. I don't have any other photos right now, but I have this rendering to give you an idea.

I also think you should move the dining table and chairs the opposite direction. It would help make that area of the room feel larger because you will never have chairs pulled out into the walkway blocking access. Looks like you have the wiring for a light, center the table and chairs under that. I think a 5'x7' rug is the smallest rug anyone should have in a living room seating area. actually larger is better but 5'x7' is easily found for a decent price. I think the setup you have in the living room works fine. Nice place.

We have the dining table centered in between the dining room windows and under where a light fixture will eventually go...still in search for the perfect one! I originally had the table rotated so it wasn't long-ways with the room, but the walkway/flow seemed to be better with it in its current position. Also, we have 2 extra dining chairs and an extender leaf for when we have more people over. And I can't flip the tv/sofa as decoenthusiaste mentions above...the cable hookups for the tv are on the right wall, and I don't want to walk directly into the sofa when I open the front door. I like the general layout the way it is, I was just trying to figure out the rug situation. I think I can get a 6-7' x 9' size and pull it under the sofa a bit more to fill the space better, yet still leave room for a walkway. Thanks everyone for your input!

You rug size is okay, but I think the next size up, 1/3 under the furniture, would be even better.

Me too.

I’d do a 5x7 and in a peppy color
