Position where it can be seen from the comfiest spots of your living room, if this isn’t possible on a TV stand try mounting it on the wall.

‘Your TV should be situated away from direct sunlight, so ideally not opposite a window. Where do you put the TV in an awkward living room? Tailored cabinetry and furniture will allow you to use every inch of space available including awkward nooks, which would otherwise be left unused,’ say Jen & Mar, co-founders of Interior Fox. If you’re struggling to find a piece of furniture that fits perfectly, it’s best to go bespoke. Consider height and depth to ensure each piece doesn’t block light or protrude too far into the room, this will save on precious floor space. If your room has alcoves or a bay window, look for furniture that will fit neatly into these spaces. ‘One of the first things to consider is what pieces of furniture are required. Secondary furniture like the consoles can be kept to the edges and used for table lamps and plants. A rug will anchor the scheme, keep it neutral if your couches are bright or patterned. Two couches opposite each other will work well and they don’t have to match, add in an armchair that ties in with one of them and you’ll have a cohesive and stylish look. Here are a few examples of this type set up.įrom our Lovell Project - the pair of wingback chairs are perpendicular to the leather sofa.With a long rectangular-shaped living room it’s best to start in the middle. And, our preference, is to have two pieces of furniture perpendicular to one another (at right angles). Proper conversation seating requires more than one piece of furniture in close proximity. The person in the middle has their head on a swivel, it’s awkward and uncomfortable. Second, try sitting three people on a sofa and having a conversation that includes everyone. First, there’s not enough seating in general. Whenever possible, a television is best on a wall and not above a fireplace mantel. We totally support the television location. Everyone, small children included, will learn to navigate around furniture…and, bonus, it may even slow their sprint. People tend to treat cased openings like tarmacs to make sure that jets, and small children, can speed from room to room without obstacle. Sometimes that’s simply not possible.ģ) Cased openings (doorways without doors) don’t have to be cleared for landing. It can float in the middle of a room as long as it is grounded by a rug and/or surrounding pieces.Ģ) Windows don’t have to be unencumbered to the extent that none of the glass is blocked by furniture. First, some preliminary advice we have for any living room (and, actually, any room in general):ġ) Furniture doesn’t have to line up to the perimeter of the room. There are a lot of architectural features to contend with.

Like many living rooms, this one has 2 entrances/exits, a wall of windows and a fireplace.

SO, today we’re going to work through one of her questions - how to furnish a living room that has multiple entrances (windows, fireplace, etc.) and provide ample seating for big families/events. Plus, she had some universally relevant questions in her mix.

Thankfully, we were in touch with the lovely woman who made the submission and she was more than understanding as to why we had missed her request. It had been a long, complicated submission…yes, I’m making excuses…and after pushing it off week-after-week, it got lost in the shuffle and we completely forgot about it. When it was all said and done, we had missed one submission. You’ll find a lot of free advice, mood boards and shoppable links.
