I had a similar living room at our last home. One thought is to turn the chair toward the couch. Add another chair of similar size and put the round table in between the 2 chairs and make a conversation area. Add a rug to pull the chairs/couch together. On the wall opposite the maroon wall – in between the chairs/couch – hang the television – so it will be a tv area and a conversation area. In the back by the window, if the room is deep enough, add two tall bookcases – which could flank a window seat you mentioned in your post. So, then you would have a reading/library area and a conversation/tv area. If there is not enough room for the bookcases, then some matching shelves on each wall would be nice.
I sent this dilemma. Since my first question to Terrie, I have thought about putting the sofa where you see the lamp on the black table at an angle so it faces the large picture window that is cut off in the picture.
In the corner where the TV is, I would like to place the chair somehow so it’s arm is near the arm of the couch, somewhat making a L (upside down L) shape.
On the maroon wall, to the left of the curtain, I wanted to hang the flat screen on a swivel mount.
I loved YDH’s post about a window seat. So, I want to place a cubby bench in front of the window. And on each side of the picture window, where there are about 30″ inch walls, matching book shelves on each side, one being under the TV on the wall.
Behind the couch in this picture is a long wall, to the left of the wall is an entry way to the hall and on the right of the wall is the front door (which we RARELY use) I thought about placing a large bookshelf, a vase with a plant on one side and a coat rack on the other closest to the door.
In the picture, to the right of the couch is the 30″ wall, where i want a short book shelf, that is between the pic window and front door. I thought about angling the laptop desk I have to view the pic window. Hence using all my floor space.
I know i am babbling…. but I keep getting new ideas every time i read a new YDH post.
Currently my living room is a golden yellow and my curtains on the large window are a wine red.
Hello Everyone!
I used a large mirror on my long wall which makes the room look wider than it is. If you chose to go with the couch up against the long wall and place a table behind it, as Terry said, maybe a mirror above the table would give your narrow room width?
