My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

couch layout around tv/fireplace

4 years ago

We just finished some renovations and moved the tv above the fire place (no worries, our neck is fine). I am trying to figure out how to place the couch so it is not totally facing the tv when you come in. Ideally I would like some chairs. The current couch is modular so we can change the configuration or we are open to buying a new one. We are a family of 5 and would like to be able to seat a watch tv at the same time. Thoughts on what type of couch/layout to use so the living room does look like a tv room.
