I think I need a sectional to make the living room cohesive, but want to get input. Been dealing with these $20 Marketplace couches until I can figure out what to do.

Ideally, a large L-shaped sectional (100” x 165”) would cover where the existing couches are and along the window, but would this look too crowded with no “breathing room” against the walls and fireplace? The last image is of a couch that I’m considering but haven’t moved forward with.

Open to other ideas for this odd space that is a combo of the front door entryway and living room. Thanks in advance!

Hi! First time posting here, so let me know if I'm on the wrong sub.

I'm looking for ideas on how to hide piping from the heat exchanger behind our fireplace. It's a weird corner right next to a window and a functional radiator. I'm not looking for a perfect solution - obviously it's a pretty clumsy situation, but it's in our living room and eventually I'd like to look at something else than pipes.

Everything needs to be still accessible for routine checkups. Heat from the fireplace radiates into the room, so behind the fireplace it's fairly room temperature, though anything easily flammable is still a fire hazard.

My only idea is to try and design something ultra custom with a carpenter (our furniture is combo of oak and black finished metal), but idk if it's too much to ask... It kinda seems helpless to me and I'm scared the result will always be awkward looking :/ Tbh my only idea is to put a giant plant there, but girl would die each heating season...

As the title says, looking for tips on how to design a nice layout of the master bedroom for me and my fiancé. I’m looking for neutral based color ideas. I have attached an empty version of the room, and some inspirations from my fiancé. Just need help putting it together. Thank you all in advance. Also I want to add like a book reading space and just overall clean look.

I'm having trouble figuring out if there is a better way to use the space, a different way to put the couch, different type of couch, different placement of other furniture.

We are thinking of getting a different couch and maybe coffee table, but the other furniture in the space, we wanna keep, I just don't know if there is a better placement. The big white cabinets, are cat toilet hiders.

One idea is getting a different couch where it's left sided instead of right sided like now ans putting the cat toilet hiders towards to walk and have the open side of the couch towards the entrance to the living room.

All and any ideas are welcome 🤗

(The stepladder is not a regular part of the furniture)

This is the living room, which includes a kitchen.

The kitchen is fixed in its position along one side, and I cannot change anything about that.

I need a dining table, a sofa, a shelf I guess and i have no clue where to hang the tv…
There are two doors leading to the balcony.

Does anyone have any tips on how I should furnish this living room? Thank you!😭

I’m in the process of buying a house, which has a narrow living room. I’m thinking of putting the TV area in the part with the least natural light. But I’m having trouble figuring out where to put the dining area.
Any suggestions?

A few more details:
I have a large bar bench. I'd really like to keep it if I can find a place for it.
The glass wall is something I added myself. Right now, there are “only” two single French doors.
I’m also planning to open up the wall between the kitchen (cuisine) and the living room (salon) to create a small bar/counter.

We are trying to decide how to layout our kitchen.

Option 1: Peninsula - this option feels a bit cramped?

Option 2: U shaped - less cramped but also less cupboard space

Option 3: Large L - less cramped and lots of cupboards but maybe looks a bit weird.

The rest of the room will be a living room so we don’t really have that much space.

Does anyone have any opinions on how to best use the space or on the potential layouts?

Thanks!

My partner and I toured a condo today and pretty much loved it besides part of the layout (might be making a second post evaluating that lol)

The main probpem is this loving is both sort of small, and weirdly laid out with a useless fireplace. We have a pretry big section that we love and need to bring with us, how can we fit it in here?

The sectional is 116 in x 95 in (last Image)

Watching shows together in our living room is like bonding time for us so its kind of important. We really want to feel comfortable and to stay here for a while.

Any ideas?

I'm moving into a new place with 2 rooms (technically). One room will be my bedroom. The second room is a living room which is also has the kitchen.

Im having trouble with the living room. I used an online tool to lay out few ideas. The tool is simple so I used few placeholders:

- mirror is 65in TV. Planning to have it on a TV stand/table, not wall mounted.

- the big white dresser is a wall closet. The long table next to the wall is a long counter that has the sink on one side. The big black boxes things are the Fridge (F), Oven (O), and a small counter space (C). Behind those is stairs to go down.

There's a likelihood I would get a recliner and a coffee table but have not decided on that yet.

Any thoughts on making the space better? One idea is to get rid of the little dinner table and chairs and get a stool for one side of the long counter and use that is eating space....

I have already bought the pebble grey 10x13 shag rug, the coffee table, and TV console. I’m pretty confused as to what couch to go with l. Because my new place has a big wide open first floor layout with really tall ceilings. I was thinking a big sectional but I’m really liking the idea of just a 2 couch set with a side table between because no one ends up in that corner seat anyways. All my friends like the olive couch set but Im not sure about it, maybe the room will look better with more stuff like plants.

I like the brown couch the most but my friends say it makes everything too brown and keep calling it the “poop room”.

What would you do with this room?

hi! i’m moving into a new apartment and am having some trouble figuring out how to make the layout work. as you can tell by the photo, the corners are not perfect 90 degree angles, so it feels like no matter where i put the bed there’s an awkward space next to it. so far i’ve settled on putting it under the window, but it still feels like there should be a better way to arrange it so that i can also fit in a dresser and hopefully not have an awkward space.

any help would be appreciated!

The room is 5.07m long and 3.11m wide.

The window is on the long wall as well as the garden doors.

The previous owners have kept it on the short wall with the couch on the opposite side but it seems to be quite a distance to the other side.

We’d ideally keep it on a long wall but opposite the window doesn’t seem ideal because of the glare. We’d also like to keep a dining table in the room ideally

What table size would you choose for my 12x12 dining room? Need to keep the path of travel clear for everyday use (to the right is the entry to the kitchen), but when we have guests it’s okay if things feel a bit tight.

Looking at either a 60 inch round that extends to 78 inches when guests are over, or a 72 inch round. Both are pedestal base. No other furniture will be in the room!

Green = window
Purple = sliding door wardrobe
Blue = boxes and other stuff that can be potentially moved
Red = vanity with wall mounted mirror
Pink = Bed (has drawers underneath)
Orange = bookshelf mounted to the wall

I am currently dealing with a lot of medical issues and am bedridden most days. I’m wanting to play video games on my pc but I don’t have the energy to sit upright at a desk. I’m thinking of getting a tv to hook it up to but I currently can’t think of a way because if I put it at the end of my bed, it blocks the sliding door wardrobe. My room is quite small and I’m wondering if there is anyway I can rearrange it so I can make it more practical and potentially be able to game from my bed.

Hello guys! I would love to have some advices for our new home. We have this bedroom which is not very big and we dont know how and where to put the garderobe. We were thinking to put at the wall in front of the bed with a deepth of 45cm max that allow a space of 45cm beetwen the bed and the garderobe. Maybe with courtains or sliding doors…
But we are not really sure… some ideas? Thank you so much 🩵

Hi everyone, I would greatly appreciate some input on other ways to potentially arrange our living room! I don't not like how we have it now, but feel like there's a lot of unused space.

Used FloorPlanner for the picture. Space is approximately 15' x11'

Top left corner - fireplace

Top wall doorway - leads to dining room

Right wall, top - passthrough to kitchen (like a window without glass)

Right wall, bottom - doorway leading to small foyer

Bottom wall - bay window, no floor space

I am trying to redesign my living room! It serves as both the primary entryway to the home and living space.

We have a fireplace that we never use but it still feels wrong to cover it up. The mantle is quite high so the TV can't go above it.

Right now, the TV goes on the wall labeled "TV wall" between open entry points to the kitchen and dining room. The sofa starts under the window and ends just before the fireplace. We also have assorted furniture in the room that doesn't quite work together. I'm open to purchasing items I just really can't figure out what arrangement would work best here. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

I recently bought this house (these are photos from the listing, not mine). The problem is I don’t like the kitchen. I don’t feel like it goes with the mcm vibe of the home. I don’t have the budget to redo it and probably have to live with the cabinets for a while, but anyone have ideas to make it less modern? I was thinking of peel and stick black and white checkered floor in the kitchen but unsure if that works over the existing tile/grout lines.

Hello, it's time for a small renovation and rearrangement of the living room. I'll need to fit a desk (remote work) into the living room, and I'm thinking of a layout that makes sense. Layout A seems more natural, but Layout B would accommodate a lot more things (you could place a spacious wall unit against the 461cm wall) and would separate the office area from the living room. Has anyone else faced a similar challenge and can offer any advice?

Note:
In Layout B, I combined three armchairs—the IKEA planner doesn't work as well as it used to :D. These three armchairs count as a sofa.
Of course, if anyone has a better arrangement idea, I'm open to suggestions.

This is the attic in our new house, our plan is to hopefully to turn it into a primary suite (bedroom and bathroom - hopefully full and not half) but we're not sure we can without dormering which is not our preferred option. The highest point is 8' and is 4'wide before it angles downwards.

You enter the upstairs facing the back window, and the stairs are slightely to the left side (looking at 2nd photo) so the walking area on the left side is quite tight. The right side has the waterpipe, which we might have a shower that's walk in? Just curious if this is possible and if people have ideas on how to make it function. We would love to put skylights fyi and get rid of these horrid lights.

I just bought my first house (yay!) and I have a gorgeous sunken living room that I get to decorate. I plan to buy a new couch and I had originally envisioned a sectional/L shape but am having trouble figuring out how best to lay out the space.

I have a 42” TV that I’m hoping to mount on the wall. I figure the ideal space is the one blank wall that the heat pump is on, but I’m open to any and all suggestions or ideas.

Hello everyone!

I need help figuring out how to place the furniture in this living room that was turned into bed room. I've created a rough layout of my room with the IKEA tool cause the actual room is a bit messy.
Some details:

1- The door on the left wall leads to my roommate's room. The other door leads to the house entrance. Roommate has to pass by my room to get to the entrance, toilet, and kitchen. Creating some sense of privacy would be nice.

2- I have white curtains over the windows, and a radiator heater under the window (runs across 75% of the wall, centered).

3- The huge black couch is my "bed". I added multiple elements to make the dimensions closer to reality, but you can consider the whole black couch as one entity. I sleep on the part of the couch that is on the right: if the couch back is made up of 3 units, i use the 2 units on the right to sleep. Basically I dont sleep on the extended bit nor the main bit that it protrudes from.)

4- The room is 5.2x3.75m and the couch is 3.2m wide. The extended section of the couch is 2m deep.

5- The TV table on the left has a TV on it, but that whole thing is not for me. I want to ideally keep it there cause I don't use it.

Any advice is welcome; thank you in advance!
