You could flip the living 90 degrees to the left, making the tv along that longest wall but aligned more left obviously. Depending on how much you wanted to spend, you could invest in joinery which incorporates the tv and books, which then also adds massive amounts of storage. Could be too long of a space for this set up, but stretched out a little with a nice rug it could work well :) please show us pics when you decide!

Pull the sofa sofa forward to float perpendicular to and a 18" or so way from the wall with the art. Use the upholstered footstool with the chair and pull them forward too. Put the corded gear in the shelves and eliminate that metal shelf/cart and the coffee table. The sofa appears to be a lounger, so you really can't use a coffee table with it. You might buy a couple of skinny "C" side tables to use at each end of it for putting down drinks, etc. If budget allows I would permanently close off the hall access by the blue wall. I'd continue the blue paint throughout the room. It adds a lot, works with the brown sofa, and you seem to have natural stopping points so you don't have to take it into the kitchen .

I'm surprised to admit I really like the brown. I usually don't like earthy neutrals of any shading but this one is ok, it certainly provided balance for the dark furniture the previous owners had. I love the idea of the side table at 90 degrees to the start of that wall to create a reading nook/dining space and redirect traffic. You could get something reasonable tall facing toward the glass doors to be storage/extension of the kitchen so there is a sense of connection. You could then put paint, wallpaper the back of that cupboard and put up the mirror and a little table for keys. Or even have matching bookshelves back to back and use the one facing the front door as a 'wet' room/shoe storage. Ikea sells so many great units that you can tailor the combination of size and shapes open and closed to get just the right look on each side.If you do this you have to screw the two units to each other so that stand straight and appear as one. If you did use the nook as dinning space you could have all the serving/special stuff in that cupboard so you dont have to go far for setting the table and leave the kitchen cupboards for daily use stuff. When I first moved into my big home from a super tiny apartment I just laid out what I had (plastic dinning set and all) as best I could and moved them around every few weeks till I got the combination of how to use the room right. Then I went and bought more/new furniture over the next 6 months.

Hello Congratulations on a tidy renovation job The colours are really nice In small spaces you need to keep the line of sight open to give the illusion of spaciousness Go for light colours rather than heavy black & use see-through furniture - mirrored surfaces, rattan or cane pieces, open-backed shelving Ideas: *use the area near the front door as a reading corner Place book shelves against the wall & use the occasional chair there with a small side table & floor lamp *move the living area to the other end of the L-shape with the TV against the solid wall - that way you can watch it while you are in the kitchen Place your new sofa facing the TV, in the centre of the room with walking space near the windows & kitchen area *place a round dining table in the space where the sofa used to be Have it close to the windows so there is a view to admire at meal time *use plants, side tables & lamps to fill corners & add personality *add art pieces to the walls Cheers Let us know what you decide
