    Can we see a larger photo of the whole room? Here are some suggestions for now...Also looks like you do not have end tables either? You will also need to add those somewhere. First, post more pics please.

    I think I'd go for something with a glass top, since your cabinet wall looks quite heavy. But I do agree with Vision Design that more photos will be helpful :-) You can click in the comment box under here and attach images.

    I like the shape of this base, but it looks a bit too short

    I think you have a beautiful room and great furniture pieces.
    Is your TV on the wall behind the sofa?
  • 12 years ago
    I would move your couch with the back to the windows (leaving room behind for that doorway), and place both chairs opposite the couch, backs to the entry doorway, with your fireplace on the left, and tv on the right. Place a small round table between the two chairs, and perhaps an ottoman in front of couch. Move the little sitting chairs over near window somewhere.

    Is it an 81" sofa? A coffee table that's about half or 2/3 the length of the sofa would be perfect.

    I agree with sarainitaly, only I would move the couch with its back to the entry and place the chairs opposite, backs to the window ;-)

    Yes, carolins, if there is space for it, that is a nice solution, too. Would allow window light to pass between/around chairs. Doors and windows are so nice, but they cansure mess with furniture layouts!

    I'm thinking that a larger rug would look more luxurious. Your current rug is okay, but I think it will be nice if the sofa and the chairs are partly on the rug. A painting above the fireplace. Some books and pretty accessories in the bookcases.

    Agree that the couch should be turned to face the window and the 2 armchairs facing the sofa. Don't forget to turn the rug around too. A glass top coffee table please!

    Wow! Thanks for all the great suggestions! I like the idea of positioning the furniture, larger rug, small round table between two chairs it all make sense. Love love love the floor plan. Will post again.

    Thank you,

    Here are my choices for the living room..so far..what do all think?
  • 12 years ago
    I like the coffee table. Don't particularly like the rug. Looks a bit boring, but it is difficult to see, picture is small. I like the end table, especially if you put it next to one of the accent chairs. So not too close to your armchairs/sofa. I feel the pattern is too similar, too many circular shapes.
    If you're going for the layout that Vision Design drew, I'd go for a simpler table between the two patterned chairs.
  • 12 years ago
    So you can visualize how a more busy table looks next to your chairs, compared to a "simpler" design.

    I was torn between the waring table glad you posted it, I never thought of it being too busy. But you're right. I've already changed the room around to what was suggested. Ok I'm going to order the table from wayfair. Guess I look for another rug? And the end table.
  • 12 years ago
    Wait, I'm confusing myself :-) that's the picture I posted..the one I was also looking at was from homefashion the Palmer metal table, but based on your comments it may be too busy

    I was afraid to mix pattern that's why I thought it was safe to go with solid rug
  • 12 years ago
    Yes, safe to go for a solid rug, or one with a border. What I didn't like so much about the rug you picked is the colour. But maybe it looks great in real life. I actually like the rug you have, but it could be bigger.
    Could you post photos of what your room looks like now? I do like the end table you picked, but I'm thinking it would be good for another spot in your room.

    I'll see if I can find some other rugs that could work :-)

    I would go with an oval table to mimic the built-in and entry arches. Also go with glass to soften the space:

    The frame shape of the rectangular table mimics the arches too :-)

    I found these rugs at Homedecorators. Think they might work.

    I cannot wait to see your finished room! These suggestions & photos are things Im going to add to my idea book. Room arrangement & tables are also what Im struggling with. Congrats on a lovely new space & kudos to you gurus - y'all make it seem easy when it's anything but!

    Here is the rearrangement ....
  • 12 years ago
    Looking good! Makes more sense. Now you can enjoy the fireplace and the TV. (The TV should ideally be lower.) Have you tried this set-up the other way around too? I'm still thinking that it makes more sense, will 'feel' better if you switch the sofa and chairs around. They take up the same amount of space, but it would be more open towards the windows. What do you think?
  • 12 years ago
    Thinking to add a sofa table, so to me it would make more sense, with sofa the way I changed it.
