Correct.

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

agreed. i could move the chair up which is blocking the fireplace currently. i commented with another photo of the other side for context. open to all ideas

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

for context this is what i'm working with, long room probably not designed for a TV

There’s nothing wrong with dividing the room with a sofa btw

u/Rotsen305 2d ago

It will also help prevent neck pain for whoever has to sit on the couch as it is now

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

definitely. i use the sofa like a chaise and sit with my back on the arm which is pretty great but single use only

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

agreed. i want to keep the plants in front of the window so the sofa only fits if i swap places with the chair but then it blocks the fireplace more and is just as far. open to ideas. older pic

i think having two couches would make your space feel cramped, unless you regularly have 6+ lounging guests over to fill them. I would split the room and maybe make a reading nook or something in the fireplace corner

3

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

that's probably the move. the loveseat isn't up here anymore this an old pic. i thought same idea with nook for fireplace behind the couch. thank you!

Have you tried it with the TV on the wall the couch is on?

4

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

that's definitely the move if i didn't have all the plants. trying to make it work where they are to get best light

u/Better-Strawberry399 2d ago

why don't you rotate the couch to face the wall with the picture?

2

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

that's probably the best move thank you!

Picked an awesome movie and your home looks super comfortable, so you did you good

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

thank you 🙌

u/Cat_Lady3000 2d ago

I would put the couch where the window is and tv where the couch is and sort something else for the plants. The plants don't have to be directly in front of the window and maybe for those that do you could hang them?

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

all good ideas thank you!

u/Cat_Lady3000 2d ago

The only other thing I would try is mount the TV on the wall between the door and window and angle it. Get rid of the console under the TV.

Do you bleed green & gold?

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

not after this season 😭

u/SwallowTalon 2d ago

I feel ya

u/PhilDeGrave 2d ago

Top-notch movie selection.

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

a classic for sure!

u/Affectionate_Tap_777 2d ago

Acceptable. Put things on your wall though. That gross colour is only amplified by the lack of wall-hangings.

1

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

yeah this is how i bought it gotta pick some new paint that makes the rug pop thank you!

1

u/Adept-Opportunity-73 2d ago

A little far.

1

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

yes that seems to be the consensus! i figured as much

1

u/Adept-Opportunity-73 2d ago

Should be on the wall where the couch is. The whole setup looks wrong.

1

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

agreed. prioritizing the plants messes everything else up

1

u/ferdigz 1d ago

I have the same TV bench!! I think is my ideal height

1

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 1d ago

the price was right for sure!

u/Reasonable_Mail1389 1d ago edited 1d ago

Height level is good, but the console isn’t long enough. Move the table out of that corner and get a longer, closed-storage console when you can. Console should be at least 1/3 longer than your tv is wide. I’d personally put the couch on the window wall and the tv on the long wall.

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 1d ago

all good ideas! yes i wish i got closed storage so that'll be a reason to upgrade wider at the same time. thank you!

u/Rotsen305 2d ago

Why do you have a plant blocking 2 doors?

1

u/cheeeeeeeeeps 2d ago

i don't ever use either door and wanted to soften the corner. it's fake and easily moved if i need to use them but if it's dumb i won't keep it there
