Help with Living room layout

6 years ago

Hi All,



I’m looking to update this living room . How can I make this look better? All furniture needs to stay. i am at a loss for where to place my furniture, biggest confusion about this Sectional couch. Avoid pillows - needs to change all .


I am open for any ideas. Thank you!

    Have you tried the sectional under the large wall art-where the chairs are now? and switch the chairs to in front of the sliders (?) With a small table between them? Can the tv be placed across from the sectional? And move the white table with draws and other chair to where the tv is currently?

    There is a lot of furniture for the size of the space.

    What are the dimensions of the sectional and what are the dimensions of the room?

    Do the chairs need to face the tv?

    Do the 2 dressers need to stay?


    Thanks.

    @Lillyiscute22 That was the setting i had before, everything was the same you mentioned :) but tv was too close when i put the furniture that way. So i tried to change the layout as you see in pictures, still not satisfied with it :( don't know what is missing. what am doing wrong.

    @CDR Design, LLC room size is - 13' x 19'6" and dimensions of sectional is - 30.5" H X 127" W X 69.5" D. chairs need to face the TV. one dresser can move.

    The problem is that chairs feel odd sitting in front of a sofa or sectional, but the room is not large enough to accomodate that.

    Unless you are willing to place the chairs by the tv (not facing it) it is going to feel awkward

    Would you be willing to remove one of the chaise? Not sure how they sectional is put together.


    I also am confused about the viewing distance being too close when turning the tv. 13 feet, for many people is too far away.

    Zara, there is probably just too much furniture in there like CDR mentioned. Do you absolutely love your sectional? How about the chairs? This is probably the culprit. If you downsized the couch even to a sofa/sectional with a one arm chaise it would probably better suite your room. You could probably keep the chairs in that case. I assume you have kids and you all like to lounge and watch tv? have company over? Let us know who&how you use the room or plan to use it.

    If it were me, I’d get rid of the couch or if I couldn’t part with the couch I’d get rid of some/all of the chairs and swap them with a storage bench or loveseat/settee

    I personally have a sectional that I will be swapping out in the future for a sofa and 2 swivel recliners because my family likes to lounge and watch tv and for us, comfort is the most important thing.

    Wall art to lower, one bigger rug, eliminate two dressers.

    What’s on the wall that the swing is on? Is that open to another room or a solid wall? Can you draw out the space with all the walls/openings? Can you separate the sectional? I’m thinking if you put one chaise of the sectional separate from the whole it would work better, but depending on

    Sorry, hit ‘Post’ too quickly...

    ...but depending on what’s on the wall we can’t see in the pictures.

    The dressers look like they're longing for a bedroom setting. Can they move out? Tell us how the sectional comes apart; are there unsightly connectors or does it just push together and apart. How many do you need to seat on a daily basis? Looks like there's a river/creek in your back yard. How about turning the two chaises to face that view and using the center section where the two chairs are? Then circle the three chairs opposite it starting with the first one perp to the light switch. Lower art to 5-7" above furniture pieces or center it 5' above the floor if hung alone. Clear off the ledge where the sound bar is and load it with live plants (some for sun at the window end and shade loving ones the rest of the way.) The coffee table is too large; can you sell it and get a smaller one? With small kids something round and soft that holds toys would work.
