Help with awkward entry/living room

lktini
hace 2 años

Need a new design approach to this outdated and awkward living room that is also the main entry to my home. The room is very narrow so furniture placement has always been difficult. The room acts as a passage between the (left) dining/kitchen/family room side of the house and the (right) hallway accessing the bedrooms. Overall room dimentions are 19'x13'; area rug used to anchor sitting area is 10'x8'. Looking for suggestions on transitional style replacement furnishings and positioning to accomodate pass through traffic while maintaining conversation area. TV is located in seperate family room, not needed here. Please be kind but honest, I need fresh eyes!

    Since you have a family room elsewhere, you might want to rethink this room and create only a small conversation area left of the fireplace and, perhaps, add a desk/table where sofa is located to create a home office area there.

    If you can access the hallway or any other room from more than one place including this front entry room, consider closing off the door to that space from this room.

    On the right wall from the entry door to the rear of the house, you may need to limit that to furnishings that do not include seating.

    Take some measurements and see if the sofa fit with its back against the wall in that left far corner so that the left arm of the sofa is parallel to the front exterior wall?

    It may be that you need undersized pieces -- a pair of love seats rather than a full sized sofa or a "ladies" recliner rather than a huge one -- in the room to make the seating a good fit.

    Something that might be helpful could be drawing the room, to scale, on graph paper and then drawing the "footprint" of each piece of furniture you may want in the room as well so you can cut out the outline of the furnishings and see what fits where -- better than lugging the furniture around until you get it the way you want.

    Not sure of them dimensions but it looks like if you pull the sofa forward off the wall and float it facing the fireplace and place both chairs flat against that wall with the small picture then you could have a walkway behind the couch instead of having to walk in front of people sitting.

    Thank you Design Directives! I was thinking the same and might give it a try!
