Living Room Design Dilemma

Tricky Living Room Layout

Kaitlyn MacLennan

3 years ago

Hi all. I’m having a hard time creating a seating zone in this remodeled 1930’s townhouse living room. I’d like to seat 4 and have a tv. I’m thinking of adding an electric fireplace where the original fireplace was sealed. Any ideas would be very helpful. I also do not love the color on the wall.

Tv is the corner by the stairs. sofa on the long wall. chair on the angled wall by the sofa.

by the bottom of the stairs, a desk or bench making that area its own space.

And rugs? I have no idea how a rug would fit in this room and if I should use a smaller rug to zone the seating. Thanks!

I'd put the TV on the angled wall.

large rug to designate area. Sofa facing large room opening & TV. fill in with occasional chairs to fit. Opposite side of room with a complimentary rug. Sideboard/credenza under eye level window with Lamp.

two swivel barrel chairs and small table/lamp opposite for conversation
