Need advice! Small octagonal living room
Hi all,
We just bought a new house. When we bought it it had 1 sofa in it, which fits easily. But the house is a 6-person house (3 bedrooms) and we would love to have comfortable seating for 6. Which means min. 2 couches... any advice on how to place the couches in this very difficult and small octagon shaped living room?? In the photo in the right corner is where the kitchen starts. Im taking the photo from where the dining table is. We were also thinking about getting a big rug. Will this make the look of the room too small??
Thank you so much in advance for the advice! Any tip or idea is welcome!

Comments (10)I just noticed you posted a duplicate dilemma. After viewing photos of your home, I think the paint colors I suggested are Perfect-AND-DEFINITELY paint the ceiling one of the 2 colors mentioned. When selecting a rug, consider one with texture, subtle pattern, and at least a shade or 2 darker than the floor. Best of Luck!...See MoreNeed opinions and advice on fireplace/TV/living room layout
Comments (8)i'd like some feedback on the two windows, as I am currently looking at the same thing without windows. Why r they there given the expanse of glass on other wall. My mum had two narrow vertical windows either side and as they were un curtained they look like black rectangles at night which I found spooky. They didn't let in much light because of trees outside, but I guess if u had a skyline view say they may be useful. They also compromised positioning of artwork....See MoreAdvice needed on choosing a rug for my living room
Comments (13)Agree with above comments - large rug, darker colours to balance the beige. And I also think the art work is too small and too high. However if you are attached to these pieces they could be hung together on one wall, lower, maybe re-framed in similar frames to give them cohesion (black to match your new cushions?). This would create the effect of a larger art piece. (The centre of your art should be at average eye height - and in that room you are sitting so eye height is lower!)...See MoreNeed advice for furniture layout for living room
Comments (3)There are existing recessed motorised roller blinds (pale grey). The room is used as a kid's play space by day and an adult living room by night. Toys are stored in bedrooms at the end of the day and the dolls house is not a permanent fixture!...See More

8 years agoHi, I have a lounge that is similar and I need seating for a minimum of 10. This is how I have set the room out with one set of couches away from the sides to provide a corridor behind them. The TV has 3-metre antenna cable and power cords to reach the outlets.

- 8 years agoThat's a beautiful sunny room. You could put in a chase lounge where you have the lounge currently. This can accommodate quite a number of people. Add a couple of swivel chairs near the glassed area so they can move around to be included in the living room and also capture the garden view. (See photo). Putting in a second, heavy set lounge against the glass will make your living room look smaller and cluttered. The chairs allow light to filter through. Adding a rug will warm the room and tie all the pieces of furniture together. If you go fairly light, it will make the room look bigger (try a little pattern so you dont see too much dirt). You could wall mount the television and this will also make the room look larger.
Sorry, that's my two bobs worth. Hope it helps!
