Help with the layout of a living room
I would love some suggestions with the layout of my soon to be living room. I have lived in the house for a year and am still agonising over what to do with the front room. There was so many things I didn't like about the whole house design but it was in the perfect location for me and was a good price for only a 2 year old house. I have made many changes to the layout already but need to finish the front room which is a weird little layout and size. I am thinking I will take the wall out between the front room and the dining room to open it up and have it as a living room but I can't see any way of avoiding putting the TV against the front window, which is not something I really want to do but I want to be able to view it from the kitchen, dining and living. I would also put a corner lounge where the wall currently sits. Does anyone have any alternate ideas please. I would really appreciate some feedback.

Need help with living room layout.
Comments (4)Hi. The window placement and fireplace, would suggest an arrangement of an L shape of seating, ( connected or unconnected) so that one lot of seating faces the fire, the other faces the other wall (carport direction) but it remains as one , it would give you options for looking out of the windows, at the fire in winter or TV. I am struggling with plans for a new house and trying to decide where to locate the TV on the wall with the fireplace,and it is so difficult as it disrupts symmetry. I think that the offset windows will allow that space to work fine with the TV on the other wall....See MoreHelp with furniture distribution for awkward living area
Comments (3)Hi there, Ok what about having only one door into kitchen so you win an extra 800 ish in to that lounge corner, then maybe knock out the nib wall opposite so that traffic comes thru entry into lounge, turns left then right with kitchen straight ahead. Hope that makes sense! I would be putting telly backing main bedroom so lounge is all in that one corner, maximised the area, moved traffic out of it. the far wall could be "rogues gallery" family pix or nice artwork or a narrow piece of furniture for store, display or all of the above!! The lounge furniture can spread into walk ways if you have a crowd scene and need to seat more people but normally would be contained within the one area. Hope that is helpful!

Comments (3)where does the short hallway lead and is it possible to remove that wall? with small children i would be keep as much clear floor area as possible with easy access to storage for games and toys and there appears to be enough space for two x three seater lounges and two small armchairs (that can be easily moved into different locations and but having furniture with open legs instead of covered to the floor and small coffee tables and/or foot stools will help the space feel less crowded...See MoreLooking for help with living room layout
Comments (6)Great furniture examples @Julie Herbert For set out, I would look at putting an appropriate size corner lounge in corner position, appropriate size coffee table, and then two accent chairs. If you would like a tv, that could be on a low tv unit on the wall to the right as walking in from the front door. You need to concentrate on getting from A to B without having to jump over furniture....See More

5 years agoIt's hard to see dimensions on your plan, but my thoughts were a long 4S Sofa facing a wall mounted TV (on swivel bracket) opposite. Instead of an 'L' shaped modular, use an upholstered ottoman that can be moved around the space for additional seating (so in an 'L' shape in front of the screen wall, as suggested below), or can be used as a coffee table by placing a large tray on top. If you are taking out the wall, move it towards your dining area (this space seems to be on the larger size for a dining room?). Reduce the wall by half, hence opening up the space, but instead of a solid wall, perhaps timber screening like the pic attached. To create an 'entrance' at your front door, you could also install a smaller screen leading to the back of the sofa. In front of this, you could place a side table and a lamp?...assuming you have some wall space between the front door and the front window?...you do not need much of a wall for the screen. You could also position an occasional feature chair on the TV wall facing back to the sofa on an angle at the front window side? The right side of the TV wall, as you look at it,(if you push the wall out), could be wall storage or shelving.

5 years agoNow that you have decided not to remove the wall and without knowing what other changes you have already made, I suggest using the front entrance room as formal dining and add another smaller table and chairs and lounge with TV in the kitchen family room
