I need help rearranging furniture in my L-shaped living room
My living room is also open to the dining room. Both rooms are narrow. My sofa and love seat are also quite large as is the lazy boy chair.
I'm all about the more couches the better! I used this website to help me use my space best when I moved into my apartment. It was hugely helpful- I tried a bunch of variations before making my moving day decisions. Have fun, play around- https://roomstyler.com/3dplanner
I think the biggest problem is the large scale sectional in a narrow room. The sectional also dwarfs the furniture in the adjoining room. Find a smaller sectional and I bet you have a winner. It might be fun to put a game table at the far end of the room?
Or snugging a corner sectional into the faux fireplace corner. Maybe a cool room divider to house the fireplace & hang a tv and other electronics/decor. Comfy reading area on the other side of the room divider.
Actual pictures of the areas in question would really be helpful.
What about putting the fireplace and TV above it on the short wall that is between the openings across from the windows. Put the sectional in front of the windows. You can still have the sofa table with one or two lamps on it behind the sofa. Then your sectional will face the dining area and the fireplace and TV. If there is no cable hookup, that is easily added to any wall. This would allow you to put bookcases on the back wall if you wanted to. You would alsp be able to add additional chairs on the end walls if you needed more seating. If the short wall is not wide enough for the TV/FP, have a handyman come in and extend the wall into the opening by a foot or two. If you don't want to deal with sheetrock on this wall, cover the original wall and extension in shiplap or tile, or anything else that works with you decor. On the dining side, you could have the same or a different treatment. Maybe a closed cabinet on the bottom and display shelves above to show off pottery, dishes, etc. Put large plants (real or good fake ones, or a large decorative pot with bamboo sticks in it and put uplights behind it to brighten the corners. If have my uplights on timers that come on at dark and go off before bedtime. Best of luck with your space.
I just watched a show called Makeover Wish that was very much like your room. The built a partial wall where the railing is and put the tv/entertainment cabinet there.
I don't see the problem if your on the couch you can still get to dinning room which looks connected with the kitchen since there appears to be what looks like a counter with 2 chairs and the kitChen isn't blocked? What is on the little wall between the 2 spaces it appears to be a cabinet? And when you speak of back wall, what back wall? Along side of TV or in dinning room ? It's confusing, now I know what I sound like! I've never mastered those sites that allow furniture placement but if you could just indicate the fireplace and explain why the couch would block dinning area , maybe is it because you would have to walk in front of people to get to kitchen? I keep looking at it and wished I had the dimensions of your actual furniture since this looks just placed in by computer not by your choice? However try placing tape on floor where you want to place funiture to see if the couch really is this big. It looks like a 10 ft couch maybe that correct in which case it is to large for that room unless you place in front of windows regardless of looking at them or with back of couch to them. A 10 ft couch doesn't belong in a 12ft room like this but rather along the 23ft wall.
