help with blank slate

3 months ago

Help please!

Room size is 13 feet wide, 12 feet long (22 feet long on window wall, window is 10 feet long)

we do not know what to do with this room - we are going to put a wood burning stove in the fireplace alcove and obviously not keep the TV in there, but are stuck with where to go... how to arrange furniture, what furniture / rug (will be getting new), where to put TV if we even should keep it in room (would like to, but also just stuck and want the room to look great).

We like bright, traditional, and farmhouse styles - but are really open to anything, changing color schemes too! Would love any and all input!!

Also thought about adding picture frame molding around ? and maybe two sconces on walls either side of wood burning stove. open to anything!

Here is a link to start off with. https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/traditional-farmhouse-long-small-living-room/nqrwns Note what you like and don't like. Next, move the upholstered chair so anyone sitting there will be able to see the tv. Get sliders for under the furniture so you can move them around. Personally, I like a lot of bright color in my accessories - huge wall art (https://www.art.com/gallery/search?skq=extra%20large%20traditional%20farmhouse%20living%20room), throws, pillows, lamps, knick knacks, rugs, etc. Don't be afraid to go big and colorful! Here is where your personality will shine. You have a lot of fun action with this project! Contact us again when you get to the next phase, and we can help further! One step at a time.

IN order to do a wood burning stove that alcove will need to be fireproofed before the stove can be installed . Do you need the stove for heating actually? If not for actual heating the just get a nice electric one it heats but no big expense to install at all I would probably use that alcove for the TV and anice storage cabinet under it but it seems quite deep maybe post the measurements of that alcove along with a to scae drawing of the space. A little info too about the rest of the homes floor plan

Right now there are not a ton of options for a place for a TV if doing an actual wood burning stove in the alcove. You'll either want to place the sofa facing the blank wall, and have the TV mounted on the blank wall with swivel chairs flanking either side of the TV. Or you could try a small sectional floating in the room, facing the fireplace, and doing a swivel chair on one side of the fireplace, and mount the TV on the same wall on an articulating arm so you can pull if off the wall and turn it how it is needed. Please note the sectional floating in the space in the fist and third images. You could also do 4 swivel chairs around an ottoman (seen in the second image below) instead of a sofa or sectional.
