    Which matches nothing?

    Put every wall, every foot and inch for every single wall and opening ..Draw it as it exists: ) Measure and upload

    To start the TV above the FP will be way too high. You have aperfectly good wall for the TV and some storage and even a bit of display The floor plan is nothing like the space you show not even the angled wall . Follow Jans advice then wwe can help. Is this a rental or your owned home ? I ask because thta carpet is going to drive every choice you make

    How many people are in your household? How many do you want to seat in this room?


    It would be best if you removed the floor plan from your post because it is incorrect and people might start making suggestions based on it.


    Is Jan's drawing the most correct reflection of the space? It is true that it means nothing without measurements, and I totally get why you can't obtain measurements now.


    BUT - based on her drawing you can reasonably guess how many pieces you may need, you can start shopping research, deciphering brand, quality, and budget. Then when you get into the space measure and see if what you are thinking of will work. If not, then readjust the plan.


    Brainstorm --> . Shopping research --> Measure --> Adjust --> Purchase


    Do not purchase anything without measuring the space first.


    I absolutely would not put your TV above the fireplace. It is much too high. Sure, that is where the outlets are and someone else did it. But their neck probably paid the price. Don't so someone else's stupid!

    It's a rental. Below, 1/4 inch to afoot


    Nobody will die with the tv over the fire

    Get an 84/86" couch

    One 18" round lamp table,

    A 36" diameter coffee table

    2 comfy swivel chairs

    Two table lamps that match

    One standing lamp near slider

    Get a console, open, by fire

    Maybe something a bit more closed at the other wall

    Do not ask me about a sectional because I will tell you no.

    Then once you are in you make decisions pretty sure you should ask about just measuring the spaces since it looks empty . I find most landlords prety fair about that if the space is empty Jans ide is for sure a great start but we really need measurments .

    Nobody is going to die and everyone will live perfectly fine lives if they ignore all of the info in our comment sections and if they never posted to begin with. But comfort is a nice goal. When you are in there measuring, get a measurement for how high the center of the TV will be over a fireplace and then how far away the sofa will be from the fireplace. Then mock that up in your own home and see how your neck feels. A sofa with a higher seat will make that set up more comfortable than a low sitting sofa.

    Look at the fire. The electrical is there. I can see a cable knob down to the left. Renters get stuck with rules.

    The floor plan had11'8" x 13'8''

    Look at the wall left of the fire.... and right of the opening. If there's more than 39 inches there? I'll eat them



    Here. 48"? at most


    So when you put it all together? And knowing most folks DO want a couch.....

    Knowing it is carpet and she will need lamps?

    You just mount the tv on a bracket you can tip down or lower,

    Or you live with a fairly small tv.

    Or.......you move in with whatever you have and you wait: )

    Thank you for the thought out pic Jan! Love the ideas you gave. And Kendra good idea on measuring tv to couch. I had thought about couch vs loveseat and if an accent chair would be too much. There is def a cable jack above fireplace and on the smaller wall to the left but I wouldnt be using the jack(Smart tv) so that doesnt really matter. Visually I was wondering if it would look weird havimg a couch against the long wall if tv was above fireplace since it was on an angle and not looking at it dead on. I really appreciate everyones help😊

    Patricia when you say ”the carpet is going to drive every choice you make”, do you mean color wise?

  • PRO
    last year

    YES, the carpet will drive colors/fabrics.: )

    You can trust the floor plan....as the only good possibility UNLESS.....You skip the couch

    Four swivel chairs.....big tv


    Or......You must be straight on tv view from a couch, because for some reason your head doesn't turn?? ( I HATE ) THIS


    In the end? The feet and inches, despite a very minor possible imperfection? They are telling you NO lies.
