Big blank and beige

4 years ago

I am trying to redo our living room and I am stumped as to what to do with the big blank wall behind our TV console/credenza and the weird half wall abuting the kitchen. I plan to get rid of everything except I do want to keep the green credenza because it is such a pretty piece. I am also trying to find furniture and decor that works with the green of the credenza and all the beige going on with the walls. Any and all advice is appreciated, but please be kind! I know it looks like poop right now :) I am also unsure what size rug to use...our current one is a 9x12 but it almost needs to be shorter and wider, which of course you can't find! Thanks in advance for the help!

    Sketch up a simple floor plan marking doors & windows. It's hard to put a layout from the pictures. This time look for a sofa and 2 chairs. No loveseat. They should also be less bulky.

    A rug with hints of green & beige would be a starting point.

    Talk to me in terms of current layout. And what your willing to do.

    Can we move tv to above the FP?

    Any structural changes we can do? Or cosmetic?

    How many do you need to seat?

    I would like to see two sofas facing each other

    Or one sofa facing the fireplace.
    With 2 chairs on the side.

    Coffee table?

    New light fixture?

    End table?

    Lamp?

    ^these are all things I’d have in the space.

    What’s your style?

    Do we like these sofas? I’m pushing for that light and airy textured look. But don’t really know your style or needs. :)

    I don’t get the ’shorter and wider’ rug comment. Just give it a 90 degree turn.

    Hi all! mdln - I wouldn't want to put the tv above the fireplace anyways because it's too high and would hurt the neck, but thanks for the tips!
    HU-187528210 - I love that coffee table too! So pretty and rustic. I normally like a European Farmhouse type of style. I do have layout already drawn in CAD so I will attach that here.

    I love the Bashian Rug, very pretty! 
    Little big zone 5 Missouri - the rug won't fit in the room turned 90 degrees unfortunately :(

    I do not want to put the fireplace above the tv because it is too high there. I don't want to do structural changes because it is not our forever home and we painted not long ago so not really wanting to do that again! I do need to seat a minimum of 5 people comfortably. I don't know how two sofas facing each other would work with the layout, but I am open to ideas.

    Same with sofa facing the fireplace.....we watch a lot of movies in there and we would not be able to see the tv and I have concerns one sofa would not offer enough comfortable seating, but I know what you mean about the loveseat looking bulky! It doesn't help that it is doo-doo brown.

    I do plan to replace all the furniture and decor, less the green credenza/console. I would like maybe a comfy reading nook in the corner by the fireplace or maybe an accent chair on each side of the credenza?

    Hey guys, I measured out an 8x10 and a 10x10 rug last night to see what would work best and would appreciate any input. The 8x10 is represented by the tape on the inside and the outside tape is the 10x10 and they are of course the same length :) I appreciate your advice!

    Also, I found this sectional I like so now on to chairs!
