Can we see the other side of the living room?

Other side of room

I love the suggestion from decoenthusiaste for a mural. If you don’t have a suitable photo, there are many papers to browse through. You may find one you really love that gives the room a wonderful vibe.

can I ask why it is set up so close the door? also if you flipped it and put the tv on the other wall you wouldnt have glare from the window.

What’s just where the outlet on the top of the wall for the tv is in addition to the shiplap so we put the tv there.

When you open door you naturally go behind the recliner and couch. I did have the furniture again the wall but you have to walk in front of the tv and I hate that.

With all due respect a mural is not my vibe. I have a 1 year old and he’s gonna ruin it most likely.

I'm sure it is too late now, but why didn't you install the t v/console on the "long, tall, wall"?

Looks like a great space. I think I would put the hall tree or hooks on the same wall as the door and then put a storage bench on the long wall closer to the door. You could use it to store toys and a place to stop and put shoes on. Then further down the wall I would just put a large art piece. It's hard to tell from your pics, are there colors that you are using in the room? Is there anything function you need this area to serve besides entry?

This is why it’s not installed on the other wall. Cable hook up and outlet on shiplap wall

I would treat it like a hallway then, maybe you could put 3 large family pictures there.

are those your front doors? back door?

you could do a sofa table

it's your room layout that is wonky. change the furniture layout and put the tv on the long wall. (cable wire are easily moved)

this would be the perfect media accent to put on that wall.

and then on the other wall, where the tv is now, do a nice console, art, etc

you have a very large tv. sofa appears a bit too close

so, what if you did a diff sofa, or a layout where the sofa back faces those doors?

one example,,,,pretend the fireplace is your tv. what if you did a sofa in front of the doors like this, and another sofa, or a few chairs on the opposite side? You should be able to access the doors like this. if not, maybe a slider would be a better choice?

or, see how this slider is behind it? (maybe installing a slider would be better?_

if you like the tv where it is, try a diff sofa arrangement like this. move it further back and do some type of sofa table

or, try something like this. Your tv is very large so you need something one the sides to balance it out. try this w/the chairs and sofa. move it back a bit and you won't have such a large walkway area

Start collecting art. Visit art shows, flea markets, antique shops, garage sales, ebay, etsy, etc. Buy things that "speak" to you. Don't buy mass produced chinese art just to fill the space.

That’s my front door, I like my lay out I just need help with the wall

I think we where all just a bit confused. Three large pictures and be done, you dont want to clog up the walk way with more furniture. I would consider moving your hall tree to lay flush on the wall door rather than angled.

I just moved everything around( besides tv of course), my back hurts and idk if I even like it. Help!

ok switch the love seat with the arm chair this looks so good.

What should happen with the wall that has shiplap on it

It’s not centered with the couch though

ended up moving it back the way it was, will get some large pictures, any ideas for unique but somewhat affordable pics?

this layout looks nice, but you need two sofas facing each other, or some type of sectional.

Any chance of getting new furniture down the road?

something like this layout

This entire set up (color, rug pillows and table) would be perfect in your room

Another layout you could try

as for the other wall, lots of ideas. do the whole wall in the shiplap,,,,and (here's many ideas)

do a built in bench or nook just like this one. (ignore the fireplace). you'd do the same size shiplap that you already have

shown here w/two benches, storage, shelving

Do the entire think like shown here in an accent color. put a little wood bench under the picture in the middle.

See how this wall was done? ignore the fireplace. Set up your furniture like this for the tv on the other wall.

on this one they did a black slat wood w/cabinets on either side

or, do some trim molding on either side and float some cabinets w/decor items

bookcases w/the shiplap for the back panel

paint the sides black, shiplap w/natural wood shelving. on one side do a desk if you need one. other side do a cabinet of some sort

So many ideas you could do.

You are a good sport to move stuff around to try something different! If it doesn't work or you don't like it as much, then that is good too!

Are you creative enough to painta subtle design on the wall? Something similar to ragging or sponging in a different sheen or hint of color?

Dang I liked it, but im glad you tried it!

Its hard to tell your style, I would post some pictures of the style you like.

We can help better that way. I still think family photos is a good way to go too.

I liked it somewhat but I need too traffic to go along the other wall, into the dining room and then down the hall way if a guest needs to use the rest room, I want people to stay away from the other side of the room because that leads to the master bedroom. I ended up doing it this way but I think I need a bench or 2 little ottomans in front of the door where the rug starts

Where the big rug starts is where I would put bench, I don’t have a style yet I like transitional with natural elements. I have a husband who likes dark stuff and a baby who just wants to ruin everything in sight lol

can you put the recliner by the door?

yup i did! ill take pics tomorrow, and im making a gallery wall behind couch
