design dilemma for living room

2 years ago

We just got a TV for this room. I am thinking of getting a new tv stand (the one tv is on now is temporary) and moving the round shelf to another wall. Or possibly putting tv in the corner.. this room is tough there is a large window on one side so TV really needs to go on current wall..

    I would get solar shades for the window and move the TV to the wall opposite the windows. It is difficult to watch TV sideways like you have it now. Get a console at least 25% wider than the TV. I would move the clock to the left of the slider. Move a sofa to the wall where the TV is now. Put just the flower print centered over it. Remove the round shelf to another room and leave the wall shelf empty. Too many small items in a small room make it feel smaller. A larger rug would be better. And don't push the sofa against the windows. The curtains should hang freely. Not sure why there are pendant lights up so high?? You need some lamps, maybe a floor lamps in the corner where the clock is now.

    This is great thank you! I hate the pendant lights my contractor put them in years ago so I’m changing to high hats that dim.
    Good idea with the solar shades I never thought of that I will def change tv to other wall and move the clock too

    The other side of this room I’m turning into a reading book area

    Maybe the TV in the corner where the clock is now and the clock in the library side.

    Do you have three dots at the bottom right of each of your postings? If so those dots offer an edit function.


    I agree as suggested above add solar shades and exchange the sofa for the TV and stand. That would change the sofa configuration to an L shape. That way you would have a straight on viewing if you placed the TV across from the window. You could even make the TV a gallery wall for interest. A longer credenza under the TV might look very nice.


    The other option that came to mind is putting the TV on the wall opposite the windows and putting a chair or two on that same wall angled for conversation. The reason I thought of that is because the sofa figuration that you have now is nicely conducive to conversation. In that case you could possibly hang the TV on the wall without a credenza or with a very minimal credenza and have more room for chairs and the two sofas. Perhaps one sofa might have to go but I don't know the measurements.


    Measurements help greatly in these situations for people trying to help you. :-). Good luck!

    Great thanks and I’ll look to see about the three dots I haven’t noticed

    I wouldn't want a room with two sofas facing, but if this is what you want, then here is an image of what the room could look like.

    Your accessories are a bit fussy.

    The rug is too small for the seating. Everything shouldn't look like it's perched around the rug.


    I'd select a rug that had some of the taupe color of the sofas.

    I'd select a long low TV cabinet and install a larger TV on top.


    I don't know why you have mini pendants hanging from the celing. But I think your room requires some large art on the wall and a way to illuminate it

    Your room is perfect for a sectional. I suggest a left facing chaise and positioned in front of the window. That will give you the opportunity to put the t v on the solid wall. Pull it out from the window so you can pull the draperies if you want to view the t v during daylight. Add a coffee table.







    Remove the pendants and replace with down lights on a dimmer. You could design the wall something like this photo. Using a wide, low profile console would simplify your decor.

    Not sure your two sofas will fit perpendicular to one another.

    Why not have one of the sofas face the tv(tv in current location).

    I ended up switching TV to large wall looks so much better. I’m on a budget so not looking to replace furniture trying to work with what I have
