Need help furnishing/styling living room
I moved in to a new place and I have an empty corner next to the window that I don't know how to furnish. Also I wouldn't mind suggestions on how to style the living room. It looks like is missing stuff (e.g.. rug) or things already there don't fit.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I tend to like contemporary/Scandinavian style btw.

Decorating/furnishing the living room
Comments (4)We just decorated an almost identical room. We started with a couple of matching, new, couches in charcoal gray, then, when we could see the size of remaining area, added a rug, a couple of armchIrs, coffee table, side tables, all of which we got from an old wares/antique shop, to add interest, and to avoid an overall matchy look. I then added lots of cushions in greys, white and oranges, which bought in some colour, which was needed, and colourful throws. Finally we added some colourful artworks to the walls. Room now looks cosy and the dark couches are practical and easy care....See MoreNeed tips on how to decorate and furnish my living room
Comments (11)Ok, I see ...one possibility would be to retain the unit as shelving where it is and wall mount the tv on the adjacent wall so that you can optimise seating arrangement. Otherwise I think you are on the right track, a circular rug would work, maybe a couple of mid century chairs might look nice, you could put some trailing plants up high away from your little one, maybe a basket or two to keep toddler clutter in check would go with an eclectic kind of look. If you move to a larger space in the future, mid century chairs would be easy to pair with a couch.. I think try and bring as much storage as you can to keep the space manageable....See Moreliving room furnishing

Comments (7)To be blunt -- the room isn't really big enough ! So you have to sort out priorities , and space . You have a dining table , and a computer desk . Can you get rid of the computer desk , by having your computer tower mounted behind the couch or similar , and a wireless keyboard and mouse that you can use on the dining table ? Mount the monitor on a wall , or if you don't need in depth graphics , I understand you can use your TV ( I've heard something about the 'refresh rate' is less on a TV ? ) . Maybe even have a monitor but also the option of using your TV ? Could you use a 'breakfast bar' , probably where the computer desk is now , I know its not sociable all staring at a wall , but it would/could serve as a brakfast bar and computer workstation . Could you get rid of the dining table and chairs , and have a large coffee table , or 2 smaller ones , and eat 'casually' ( my polite way of saying eat sitting on the couch ) ? Even mounting the TV on the wall will let you get rid of the cabinet , but I gather you have gaming consoles in there ? And the present arrangement with the pot plants uses some space -- maybe some shelves with them on will still retain the plants but free up floor space ? Just some thoughts off the top of my head ....See More
9 years agoThank you very much for the suggestions. I should have included whats on the other side of the room. it's actually dinning area and there is a study and it has a build-in desk.
The yellow thing on the wall is part of a shelving unit I'm using currently as the tv stand which I believe it needs replacing.
I should get a plant for the corner and a nice chair as well.
I also believe the coffee table is too big and I'm not sure about what colour rug to use if any.
