Need help, repost with blueprint

4 years ago

Hi everybody, I hope you are all well. I need help with my new home,
this is a 20 year old house lived in by an elder couple who seemed to
be ok with things and never looked into modernizing the pad. Well this family room.... 19x14.
A 75+ inch TV is in play. I vowed for a
nice media stand under the TV mounted to the wall. the other member in house likes that idea but that
requires a L shape with the two gray couches (she chose gray with
this stocked wood trim... although I think she settled because of
delays with all the furniture she did want) but she doesn't want to
block the fireplace and wants to separate the couches and opened the floor. As pictured with gray couches.
But then the tv will have to be on the fireplace, in front of glass. No one is a fan of that.
And the door to the right is
the entrance to the sunroom, but only the door furthest away from
the room opens for walk through so that wall can be used for 140 inches instead of 103 inches {not blocking door} I have yet to personally configure or see a sample room to help me, help her try and accomplish this room for a look she wants. I hope help is on the way,
because the pressure to be ready for hosting Christmas is manic lol. Please let me know what else I can provide.

Get some graph paper and draw it to scale. Or use free software online. You'll see that @Patricia Colwell Consulting 's recommendation will work fine. You can tape out the big tv screen size with blue painter tape on the wall and put blue painter tape on the floor where you are thinking of putting the sofas. Or use newspapers.

BTW, it is quite common to rearrange furniture for a few days to accommodate guests for holidays. Then it gets put back.

Long overdue to take down the 80's mirror surrounding the fireplace. It really dates the house. This arrangement might work for the space. Sofa facing the fireplace and the loveseat at 90 degrees to the sofa.

Thanks everyone, there were discussions for removing the mirror but that project will wait til after the holiday. The 90 degree setup is what I like, as the other party, it's just she liked the open look at the fireplace from the kitchen view, and the back of the couch hides it somewhat. We did end up going with the displayed setup by Bev, thank you! And thanks all, I would love to update you when a finished project is done. Happy holidays to you all. ❤️
