Need help with my tv room

We are a family of six. We have a small tv room with big brown bulky reclining leather couches. Please give advice on how I can make the room more visually appealing. The last photo is a floor plan, it was previously a study. The size of the room is 4.5 x 4.5m.

Hi, what is the budget for redecorating? What State are you in (for products), and which direction does the window face?

i would recommend putting a big chunk of the budget into replacing the lounge suite with something that doesn't make the room so dark.

Wow there is a lot of work for you, the budget may have something to do with it. First loose curtains. Get double roller blinds . Move couch so they are next to each other in L shape, and arm chair in the couches spot. Replace the rest of furniture with something lighter and more modern maybe with an industrial vibe . Couple side tables , new tv unit much longer than existing one, and a lighter colour rug twice the size of the present one. Have a look at Shack furniture I think the style will suite your couches. Then get some cushions in soft fabrics not shiny , more like velvet.

Are you trying to hide the back/side of the TV from being seen through the glass on the other side? Do you require storage space (hidden behind doors/draws, or not)? Do you have any appliances that need to sit with your tv eg. Hard drive recorder, dvd player etc, game playing machine?

Hi I am David from Bang & Olufsen. Our Tv's have 180 degress of motion allcontrolled via a remote. We can mount blu-ray players and foxtel box directly to the back so they are hidden out of sight and can be controlled via our one remote. They have beautiful speakers built in to the tv as well as apple TV and Netflix. Please give me a call on 9356 8111 if you would like to discuss. David

Need help for my back room rumpus, family room and bedroom layout
Q

Hi Charles, Firstly, I am not a designer or anything but I have just spent over 12 months planning & designing my house so I've looked at heaps of plans & I've done lots of research. This is what I have come up with.. I think you can leave it with the same layout and just extend the wall off the rumpus. Yes it eats in to you bi-fold doors but I have a plan to counteract that & not sacrifice the light & open plan. Using corner stacker doors (much cheaper than bi-fold) will open this space right up to the alfresco area. Not sure what you had planned for this area but if you were planning on having a built in bbq area it could be done on the back of the rumpus room wall (in the space where I extended the wall). I also think you will have more flexibility if you have doors entering the rumpus rather than sliding doors as you can use the wall space without having to worry about the wall cavity. I printed your plan off & had a play so check it out & see what you think. I will not be offended however if you don't like my ideas as its your house & it needs to suit you & your family. All the best with it, I know how hard & stressful it is! Shae

What most annoys you about room
What most needs replacing
Are couches comfy
Work this out then choose new items to add lightness and colour contrast to space eg paint walls white or change colour carpet to darker shade maybe with lighter white flecks

Have you tried other arrangements with furniture layout? I wonder if having tv mounted on the short diagonal wall would work better? Then place the 3-seater along wall where tv currently is, leaving in front of window clear.

I think the upper portion of the room needs some balance also. A standing lamp and wall decor (including mirrors) perhaps. At the moment, the room is visually "heavy" in the bottom half.

The real prob with room is that the colour of the walls curtains and begeish flooring do not blend match or complement each other but all clash so should change two of these to lighten up room

I agree with dohraime, if the TV can't be shifted, perhaps the big couch could fit along the back wall opposite where the television presently is, and the single seater next to it in the angled corner section by the window? I also agree a tall lamp would lift the eye up the wall abit, maybe even a nice. large mirror across from the window to reflect light? The rest may depend on your budget, those couches look very comfy but are also dark and heavy so if you are due for a change I would look at a modern modular set up or something with legs.

Thank you so much for all the comments and advice! I can change the carpet, wall colours and buy a tall lamp and large mirror, move the tv/buy a tv unit, install blinds, but I can not change the couches, my husband will have a heart attack ;)!

I love the trunk. Does it have a history? I have a trunk also but it is more plain looking. It is old though!

1/ get Roman blinds for the windows installed onto the ceiling..

2/ change the carpet to floor boards and a nice light rug..

3/ repaint the room ..looks quite dark and creamy there

4/ get rid of the clutter by getting a built in unit for TV and do away with your tables and coverings

5/ keep the chest/trunk as a coffee table

6/ rearrange your lounge suite into an L shape..

7/ if you really want to get rid of the lounge suite make it uncomfortable to sit on..I'd put slits into it accidentally lol the dogs fault? lol he'll come around

or I'd pretend someone else needed it more than you so gave them away..lol

that's how I get to buy new stuff for the apartment ..I slowly stow them to the beach house then from beach house they get given away lol
