Living Room Help!

6 years ago

Hi All,

Hope everyone is doing well. I was hoping someone can help me with my living room design. I am uploading some pictures of a pretty much blank slate. We moved in recently. I am wanting to complete my living room and am looking for a rug, coffee, table, tv cabinet/console, and some more seating.

Replacing the current couch is not possible at the moment so please help me find things that will go with it! I have been looking at rugs with blue in it, and was hoping to incorporate some blue but have had a really hard time finding things I like. I think the reason it is difficult because I like such a mix of styles. On Pinterest and different blogs, I really enjoy the modern boho, california coastal, and eclectic rooms. I know- a big mix! I so appreciate any help!! I have attached the room at many angles. The only thing that has to stay is the couch.

Thank you!

find a larger console for under the tv. move the chair elsewhere.

mount the tv to the wall or on top of console.

find an area rug and a coffee table. Your sofa is obviously too large for that spot, but you'll have to work with it. It looks even more squished w/the table and the plant on that one end. put the plant on the other side and remove that one end table.

Or, remove the round table on the other end, and move the sofa down that way to give more room for the table by the window. move the plant.

I think a space-saving foldable sofa chair could be a alternative for your room if you are willing to

Can you pull the sectional from the wall a bit to put a sofa table behind it? If so, then you'd decorate the sofa table with large items on it that will help fill the stair wall.

Would you consider putting tv over fireplace

...and moving the couch?

Thank you so much everyone! I am looking forward to getting a new sofa in the next few years since this one is so big, but it is here to stay for now so I appreciate the comments about ideas to work around it.

I will definitely get rid of one of the end tables to free up some space on the wall. I will also move the sofa away from the wall. We were thinking about getting a console table for behind it to help keep the sofa away from the wall. If I move the one with the lamp on it, I do not have anywhere to put the lamp at the moment, so I will probably remove the one on the right side for now.

We do not want to put the tv over the fireplace, we would rather have a mirror or something else. We have tried to move the couch across from the fireplace once, but it closed off the space too much and it was too big for that area.

Do you guys think that I should get a lighter rug to contrast the couch or a darker one would be fine?

Thank you, Jake! I really appreciate the advice and am grateful to hear there is potential because I have been so discouraged about the space lately but your post reminded me why I fell in love with it, which is the natural lighting. My husband loves all the furniture pieces you suggested because he loved mid-century! thank you again!

I found a rug I like that has some blush and blue tones. Based on that, I thought some accent colors could be blues and a blush. That might soften the couch a little bit? I could then add a larger console as others have suggested in white. Then my kind of color palette would be gray (walls and couch, blush, blue, and white with green plants added in. I would then need to find a coffee table and get rid of the side tables!
