Home Decorating Design Dilemma Living Room

Living room furniture lay-out

6 years ago

Help! My living room is 11 1/2 x 18 1/2, has four windows, plus a French door...not much uninterrupted wall space, and I am struggling with furniture placement. I also have an electric fireplace which I placed on the wall between the windows as you look in through the French doors. Maybe it could move to the one wall with no windows?

Also, we watch tv in here. I really want a comfy sectional sofa...will it work in here? Thank you SO much for any advice.

18’ is a generous size, so have you thought about splitting the room into two areas: one end for t v viewing and the other for visiting around the fireplace.

I searched for back to back sofas. There are lots of arrangements for you to look at, but this one caught my eye. You could put the fireplace between the two windows with a great piece of art above it. Maybe even cover that section with some interesting wallpaper. TV goes at the other wall in a built-in.
