Uncentered, small window behind couch

7 years ago

Hi, all! We are trying to redecorate our living room but are struggling to figure out what to do behind the couch. The window can't really be centered with the couch because the couch then will not be centered with the opposite wall/TV. What would you all recommend? We will probably be taking the current shades off the window.

We will also be putting away the Christmas tree and the recliner will go back in that corner.

Thank you in advance!!

The couch looks a little odd right next to the breakfast bar. Have you considered centering it with the window and adding an end table/lamp where the tree is?

More pictures will be helpful with layout suggestions.

We definitely need more pictures and a layout. Without those, I'd say center the sofa and add side table/lamp as Lil suggested, even if it isn't centered with the TV wall. The recliner appears to be too large for that corner. Then, you can add full draperies on each side of the window (just covering the trim and extending across the wall. That will balance things out a bit.

@Lil S I know it looks odd but its really the only spot it can go! I'll take more pictures when I get home tonight but the pictures below were taken before we moved in just to give you more of an idea (crappy pictures I'm sorry). The front door is at the foot of the stairs and the TV/entertainment system is on that wall. @Sammie J I already have full draperies on one side of the room in front of the front windows! I'm thinking it would look strange if the entire living room was curtains! The recliner is definitely too large for that corner but my boyfriend loves it and will not part with it! I will finish taking down the tree tonight so I can show you exactly the space I have. The wall with the window is 14' long.

Room needs color and design. Too much black and no color. Try a colorful area rug, throw pillows on the sofa and paint the walls an interesting color.

Wow, that is a difficult room....I can see the only place for the couch is in front of the double windows with the TV in front of the bar...or the TV in front of the double windows and the couch in front of the bar. Either way, you would need a screen or room divider in front of the bar. The only thing I could suggest is to get rid of the couch and get two chairs (along with BF's favorite recliner) and rearrange. You probably like lying on your couch to watch TV so maybe the arrangement you have is best.

Will the sofa fit in front of the front windows? If so, I'd put the sofa under the double windows, angle the recliner in the corner by the peninsula, and put the tv on a swivel so that you can easily watch from either location. Then, for the window, I'd do the same window coverings that you have for the double window.
