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.

Small house living room set up

2 years ago

I would appreciate help on how to finalize set up of my living room. This is a 15’ x 17‘ room. The wall I’m concerned about is next to the kitchen bar, it is 8‘2“ long (7’1” to light switch). I think the bookcase makes the room lopsided with all furniture on that side. Storage is important as much as esthetics. We moved to FL so couches are a bit heavy, but ok for now. Moving toward comfy coastal vibe. How big could a sideboard be for this space? Then maybe put some floating shelves or art above or both?
