Living room design & furniture placement
Please help with living room design and furniture placement -- this is current set-up (this is not our furniture, lighting, or paint -- all of this will change) ...but I can't even start to design because I don't know if tv should go in current location in the built-ins (which seems awkward and crowded with current couch placement) or to move tv above the fireplace (which I don't love, but at least I'll know what to focus furniture around)... any ideas!? :). Is there any way to keep tv in the built-ins but not have it look so awkward and separate from the fireplace? Also, any thoughts on what to replace that track lighting with would be appreciated... Thanks!

Comments (1)Hi, A good way to start is to draw a scaled floor plan of the space. When you see furniture that you like, you can then cut out; also to the same scale, the basic dimensions. This will make it easier to assess the foot traffic around the room and furniture layout. You may find a modular to big and limiting to layout. Maybe a sofa with 2 accent chairs (not necessarily matching) gives more possibilities. Also consider which direction the room is facing and what light it receives, this may also help with layout in terms of the TV, i.e will the sun shine making it hard to see the screen. Hope that helps....See MoreHelp with living room design
Comments (7)I think the main thing to think about would be traffic flow. You need to make sure you have adequate space between the chairs and the kitchen bench to allow passage through to the meals area, and between the two-seater and the sliding doors to access the deck. You might want to use masking tape to mark all the placements out to see how they fit and how the traffic flow is. You might also want to think about whether you want to be in the al fresco area looking in at the back of a couch. Personally, I'd probably go for chairs there, but that's just me. I like some of the pieces you've chosen, especially the larger sofa and the chairs. And it looks like a very nice space to play around with....See MoreLiving room furniture design tips pleeeaaasssee
Comments (29)I would place the sofa in front of the fireplace and armchairs either side. Pur a colourful throw over the back of the sofa or add a console at the back of the sofa to add interest. While the sofa loses some of the open plan look, you need to be functional unless you have a TV room. The bookcase will add a real warmth. If you use swivel armchairs, you can swivel to watch TV or swivel to face the sofa when just talking. We have these and they are very functional....See More
