Furniture arrangement/selection help needed
Our family room has 5 doors/doorways, an off center fire place, and a set of windows. It is the pass through between the front entrance and an office off of the family room, as well as between the kitchen and the washroom. We are in need of new furniture and are trying to lay out the room to identify the best pieces to purchase. I don't have the exact dimensions but included one lay out that we are playing with using an interior design tool. The biggest challenge is that the fireplace should be the focal point, but the walkway from the kitchen to the washroom makes traditional furniture placement impossible.
Each square on the drawing is a foot.
The bar that looks into the kitchen is used for eating. The table is going away. This is NOT our main eating area. There is a TV in the cabinet currently but it is not used. What is used is the stereo with turn table that is in the lower half of the cabinet. We use the room mostly for reading and listening to music.

Where do the doors flanking the fireplace go? Do you entertain guests in this space and what is the maximum number you need to seat here? Is TV watching the main activity here, and do you watch when you have guests? If TV fits in that cabinet, it will probably fit on that wall, mounted on an articulated arm so it is adjustable for viewing. Do you enjoy board games? Since the fireplace doesn't get used, you might try something like this there with a table large enough for scrabble, chess, checkers, or just drinks. The right style of lightweight chairs could be pulled into a conversational grouping elsewhere in the room when needed.

4 years agoI think a sofa or loveseat across from two chairs right in front of fireplace would work. Place another chair in the corner by sliders for a reading nook. Place a small table for game playing right in front of the double window on opposire side of room. Place your turn table on the wall across from fireplace. Here are some furniture suggestions. Sofa, two swivel chairs (yellow) to go across from sofa and a nice comfy arm chair for reading nook corner.
