How would you furnish this living/dining room?
Hi,
I’m struggling to furnish our lounge and dining area. We have raked ceilings so there is a lot of height but not much floor space. The lounge area is 5 x 3.5 m but there are a lot of angles, a sliding glass door and stairs to the split level that get in the way. Do you have any ideas? What would you do?
About us: We are a couple with a toddler. We currently have a four seat table next to the kitchen, the tv next to the stairs, a desk next to the sliding glass door and a three-seat sofa in the middle between the desk and the tv separating the desk and the toddler “play space” in front of the tv.
We often have visitors, so would love to have more seating to make our home more comfortable.
Thanks!

How to functionally furnish this living room?
Comments (1)I would recommend a sofa or lounge no longer than 2.5 meters. You also want to leave at least 800mm behind the sofa for a walk way as this will stop people from walking in front of the tv....See MoreNeed help furnishing/styling living room
Comments (7)you could have a desk in the corner I presume you have a computer or something like that, and a nice chair , replace the tv unit with something bigger and enclosed so you can hide all the staff you have lying around . Try to get one with lots of drawers it's more practical and it shouldn't be to low , when you're sitting down tv should be straight in your eye sight. Hang most of your artwork on one wall like a gallery wall (behind the to).A large rug would be nice and maybe one side chair or couple footstools for when you have visitors. Table lamp and floor lamp would complete the picture....See MoreHELP! Any ideas how to fix the living room end of our dining room?
Comments (25)First ,is removing excess furniture an option? Second, why bar fridge in the dining area, that really ruins the look. Seems that you can not move dining table closer to the kitchen because you have light pendant above the table, so can you move piano where your black couch is and couch on the other side of the room instead of creamy colour sofa . I notice the luck of coffee tables and side tables,that's probably why you like to sit around dining table, it is not visitors friendly and doesn't encourage conversation or interaction. I will come back to it have to study photos more. Are the arm chain the other room similar colour to the couch in the dining area?...See MoreHow would you use this floor plan (living/dining)
Comments (19)Lots of good ideas here. If you do have a carpet remnant overstitched along edges, be sure to specify the thread is to MATCH the colour of carpet. I know this sounds like a no-brainer, BUT we had long and wide carpet runners made up, colour was dark brown. When we unrolled them, low and behold the overstivhers had used WHITE thread. We were stupefied. Who knew one must specify the obvious! Anyway, hubby had a brilliant idea: he used black magic marker and carefully coloured over the white. You would never know it had ever been anything but!...See MoreKate
