Furniture arrangement
The fireplace is at the end of the wall with a sliding glass door next to it. The dining room is on the other side of the sliding glass door. A very long wall across from it. The end of the room (connecting the fireplace wall to the very long wall has two large widows. How do I arrange the furniture without blocking the fireplace or making it awkward to enter?

Comments (5)Where is the French window? Do you mean the normal window? Does it open completely with hinges, or have sliders, or is it fixed? If it opens completely, then a single chair allowing for outside access would be wonderful. If it is fixed, then it will still look good. I find chaise lounges are awkward when having guests. Because someone will have to sit with their feet out in front of them, almost lying down. And this can be a bit embarrassing. I would keep with a normal three seater lounge and single chairs....See MoreFurniture re-arrangement advice
Comments (16)Hi Kerry, I love the look of your home. Very warm and inviting, snug but roomy. In the living/dining anyway. The other space is a very wide passage is it not! Let me check I have this right: You use the entry at the back of the carport between the living room & bedroom which comes into the room in question. The kitchen is entered off the living room and opens onto the 'passage' room. Opposite that are stairs with the door opening into this room and bathroom which the kids in 2 bedrooms use. SO: how to fix a room that is handy but not quite wide enough to be more than the passage way.... Small uses and small furniture I think is the answer: If you use the large square dining table don't bother with another. If you want another space to sit have just one or two chairs. If you need some of it for study area pop a desk in front of windows at far end near kitchen: it maybe a tad quieter there? I would avoid a TV in there as it is not large enough. If the kids have play-station etc that may work there. Create traffic ways with the furniture: all f't to the right as you walk in (As long as entry door is on the left) but then you need to leave space to move across the room to bath and stairs so another off road! Traffic lights maybe needed if all else fails! If some day down the track you were thinking of renovating the kitchen, would you plan servery and access onto the dining/living room and close off the 'passage' room? That would at least give you one corner for more serious furniture! Hope that helps you and if not we can look further.... Cheers Margot...See MoreSeeking expertise for furniture arrangement
Comments (21)Agree with big reader. Chaise lounges are not practical. If you get one that the chaise is NOT interchangeable from left to right, you will be stuck with a lounge that may not meet your requirements in the future. Also no one can actually sit on the chaise end, unless they put their feet up on lounge. This is not practical for people that actually like to sit with feet on the ground or elderly people. A sofa with a separate ottoman is better....See MoreMark Rezner

7 years agoIs the green wall in the room you want to decorate? Or is the furniture you want to use in the green wall room? And you are getting rid of everything?
Look up narrow living/dining rooms on Houzz to get some inspiration for what you want the room to look like. And answer my questions please.
These are some ideas for room arrangement. Sofa on long wall opposite the fireplace. Pair of chairs to the right of the sofa facing the two high windows. Round ottoman/cocktail table and end tables on either end of sofa.
Hutch centered on vaulted wall that is to the left of the front door with table centered on hutch. New light drum type of chandelier over dining table.
Lastly invest in some lined patterned curtains the same on all the windows, hung high on the walls as shown in the picture....these are all the items you should be looking for.

7 years agoI was thinking the sofa opposite the fireplace like the pic above with the orange chairs? Narrow end tables; you can definitely play around with your space using existing furniture to get a visual and your brain will pick up on what does and doesn't work.lol
I think patterned curtains are in as are Roman shades. I do not like shutters personally because they intrude into the room when opened and block a lot of the view when closed even with the slats opened, but that is just me!
I assumed the piano is staying so that was my suggestion for sofa centered on wall room opposite the fireplace with piano in place. Maybe a tree next to the piano sofa wall to give separation. Ethernet two large objects.
With all the windows a contemporary mix is nice.

Sofa not centered on fireplace or windows; but place to work in the room. Light chair is actually in the corner between two walk thru areas. Just some looks you will see when shopping.
