Living room layout challenge

7 hours ago

We just bought an older home built in the 80's. The living room has an odd layout which is challenging as we intend on making this our main area to watch TV and hang out.


The challenge is that we don't want to block the main entry, or the dining room, but we also don't want to block the fireplace.


We would prefer to have the TV placed along Wall A but we're not sure how to do this without blocking the fireplace. Since this will be our primary area of watching TV, we want to actually face the TV. We've worked with three different decorators from three nice furniture stores who have suggested similar (and obvious) layouts which is to have a sofa and two club chairs or two sofas which face opposite each other and having the TV on Wall A. The problem with that design is nobody faces the TV. If we put the TV along wall B, then in order not to cover up the fireplace, we would be about 15' away which is far away from the TV (and we don't want to cover up entire wall with a 90" TV). The pint areas are built-ins.


Also note that there is no room to put the TV above the fireplace.


Any creative suggestion? We just want a comfortable place to hang out.
