Help needed - Small living dining room combo - layout added

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

I need help with a small living dining room combo. It has two ceiling high windows, connected to the open plan kitchen and two doors. I can’t decide what furniture to get and moving in soon. Any ideas would be really helpful.

    maybe and a small bistro table between the bedroom and hallway doors, then a small sectional facing the the top wall, have the tv on that wall, maybe add some floating shelves or other shelving units on that wall, then have a small square rug in the center of your kitchen.

    Thank you Angel . I forgot to mention I have a beautiful view through the windows (floor to ceiling high), I would love to see it from the sitting area or dining area... the layout & walking paths are making this difficult though... from your first reply I was thinking you had this in mind - attached photos. How can I make this work better?

    what about a fold up table on that wall that turns into a picture like the one featured here?

    Despite the practicality, I’m not a fan of these . The flat is small but I want to avoid using pieces of furniture designed for small spaces... do I want too much?

    what about your table where the tv is and the tv where your table is, but then youd have foot traffic while you're watching tv. flip the sectional towards the other wall and hopefully the L shape is on the right so you dont block off your kitchen. Get something on legs so it feels more spacious and the air flow is consistent and all feng shui

    How many people will regularly use the room and dining table? A glass table will keep things looking more open. I wouldn’t get the chaise as it will limit options in arranging your furniture. You may be able to fit a small chair if there is no chaise.

    Try a 3-seat sofa facing the windows with a coffee table and two chairs, one at each end of the coffee table to form a "U." Use a drop leaf table behind the sofa to serve as a dining table/sofa table.Hang art opposite the grouping with a console or credenza below it. On the large wall add casegoods (bookcases, a secretary, display cabinets.) Additional art between the bedroom and entry doors. Scale is different below, but just for concept of a "U" and of a sofa/dining table.

    It will be two persons. I didn’t think of a glass table... should it be rectangular or round?

    I’m stuck at the u shape at the table part... I like the two chairs idea though: evening & a cup of tea..

    If you move the table by the kitchen, I would do round. In the other spot, I would do rectangular. I like the arrangement with the green couch and one blue chair.

    Smaller scale chairs and a larger sofa with the table in the dropped leaf position for entertaining without serving a meal. You could do swivel chairs to make watching TV easier.
