Living Room Design

7 years ago

Hi! I just purchased this gray cabinet for my living room but I'm having problems figuring out how to arrange it with the tv and fireplace. It's an open floor plan but the living room is 12×14. I am thinking about using the 2 small sides of the cabinet on each side of the tv/fireplace then use the bigger middle part of the cabinet in the dining room. I included a pic of the dining room. its the 3rd pic with the table.

    I don’t see how these can work, sorry, also your tv is wayyyyyy too big for the fireplace console thingie it’s on. What was your intention for these type of cabinets, storage?

    Where is the TV going to end up? It sure needs a bigger base than that mantel. Id sort that out first.

    agree,,, that fireplace thing is so tiny, and you have it topped w/a huge tv and these tall cabinets. Sorry, none of it works.

    does that fireplace have to stay there? (it's electric, yes?)


    you could trying doing two of the cabinets on either side, but you'll need to hang the TV and get some type of larger console or cabinet for underneath

    I would put the tallest cabinet nearest to the door, the two shorter cabinets next to them toward the windows, and have a carpenter build a matching low console for the TV, to run from the cabinets to the end of the room, so it all looks like a built in unit. The console can be built in a similar style to the cabinets. Then move the fireplace over the the other side of the room, under the window by the dining table.

    If you need the fireplace for supplemental heat, put it somewhere else; maybe in the bedroom for a little romance. It is not good design if you were thinking it was just decor. If you want the 3 cabinets for storage, I would center them under the highest part of your ceiling in the dining area where you have art now.They are taller than the top of your windows and will look more awkward the closer to the windows they are, but maybe they'll be centered between a pair of those small windows at the other end. We really need more pix. Move the art to where the cabinets are now. TV should sit on a credenza at least 25% wider than the TV is.

    Please take a picture of the other end of the room with dining table.

    Ignore, in this photo, everything, fireplace, kitchen bar, and concentrate on the peak itself.

    Could the cabinets go under the peak at the dining end of the room?

    You would remove the sideboard and all the wall decor.

    The grey cabinets might have a match in low tv unit...?

    I'd experiment by moving the 3 to left a foot, with matching unit/tv at right, forming a 'step down' height look, following the wall shape...

    Can you return them? They don't work in that space.

    Houzzer posted already to try tv in between the 2 units with same height - what about that …...

    Thanks everyone who took time out to help me! Reason I brought cabinets is because they were only 150. Deal of a lifetime. Knew I could make them work somehow. With your help I was able to do that. Turns out Lowe's sells the same cabinets. So I went with the step down look. What an amazing livingroom I now have. Thanks again.
