Furniture Dilemma- complicated A frame

last year

My husband and I have been going back and forth about our new livingroom. We recently bought this beautiful A frame home. The large A frame windows and fireplace opposite of them is making it difficult for us to figure out TV and furniture placement. We have 3 pieces of furniture for the space right now. The photos show a leather couch, but this couch is temporary. I included a photo of the actual couch we are waiting to receive which is a bit bigger than what’s currently in the room. Do I need to remove the recliner? Do we need to move the TV? Can anything be in front of those windows? It’s very difficult when you have multiple potential focal points. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Beautiful space. Two swivel recliners with the same fabric would be good. People rarely want to give up recliners.

Thank you, my husband has wanted a recliner for a long time and we finally have space for it, but I think either the green chair or recliner need to go possibly?

Keep the husband's recliner and move the green chair elsewhere.

It's a beautiful space. A room this large with multiple focal points calls for multiple seating areas. I would leave the TV roughly where it is, rotate your rug 90 degrees, and arrange seating within a "room" that ends at the stairwell half wall, or even before it. Float your furniture in a L or a U, with a really generous amount of space away from the back wall. The green chaise probably needs to be replaced with something smaller.

Then one cozy seat where the recliner is now--maybe even another recliner! But facing the fireplace, with a lamp, end table and a small rug to define that spot. If there's room, a short, narrow bookcase between that chair and the larger seating arrangement could help set this area off this as the cozy reading nook.

The TV looks pretty far away. One option for TVs in an awkward space is a drop-down screen and a projector. That's what we have. It's great --- as long as you only want to watch TV in the evening or with the curtains closed --- which works really well for us.
