MAJOR help needed.

6 years ago

We just moved into our new home and I can’t figure out what type of furniture would look right in this living area. The only thing I can vision is a sectional and I don’t care for sectionals.

As soon as furniture stores are back open we plan on buying all new furniture including an ottoman that I would like to use in place of a coffee table. Any and all ideas are welcome!

Those big vaults are tricky - you have a massively rising ceiling that makes all the furniture look Liliputan. The key to this room is what are you going to do with the massively blank wall (and not hang a giant rug there). You need something to break up that large smooth wall and "lower" the room. That's your first challenge and it can be artwork, molding, or even bringing the stone from the fireplace over that wall. If you can afford it, hiring a professional decorator that has experience with this kind of room is really the way to go. Good Luck

Can you post a floor plan with dimensions? I'd think about putting the TV on the giant wall rather than over the fireplace with a sofa facing it, and not try to make the fireplace the focal point (angled fireplaces are hard, and yours is doubly so with the French doors located where they are).

I'm no expert but here is what iI would do. I would put a dining table where you have the rug (facing the kitchen). Around the fire place I would do something similar to this photo. With the TV placed where you have your light brown sofa right now.

Beautiful house by the way!

@The KEEPING ROOM I would love to hire a professional interior designer but right now it’s not in our budget. I haven’t decided how to visually lower the wall yet. I’ve thought about hanging large canvas portraits there but not sure. Thanks for the advice!

@cawaps Unfortunately, I don’t have the floor plan with dimensions. My husband is completely against moving the TV bc it took a lot of time and stone cutting to get it to mount. But I do agree, the fireplace with the TV makes this even more complicated.

Are you handy with Photoshop or has a friend who is? I would be inclined to take the stone from the fireplace and bring it over to the big wall using faux store stick-one like this If you can find a close match. here’s just one site, there are others. Maybe not even the full wall, just partial to break it up.

is the aqua on the kitchen counter going? That doesn’t appear to work in the room.
