Send us your own questions here.A corner fireplace is absolutely stunning and a treat to have, however, it can sometimes be difficult to arrange furniture around. Finally, finish off the space with navy throw pillows on your sofa, a Suzanne Kasler Gourd Lamp in Navy on your round side table, and our Felicity Acrylic Coffee Table.Īdd some navy pillows to your existing sofa and you’re all done! Seagrass rugs with a khaki border would work nicely. If you don’t mind swapping out your rug, we suggest buying two identical rugs and placing them next to each other to create a long enough room to bridge both seating areas. Start with our Twilight on the Seine Abstract Art over the fireplace, then add a pair of chairs and a matching ottoman on either side of your fireplace with navy throw pillows and a floor lamp. We want to give you another color palette and layout option just in case. To play off your gorgeous wood floors and moulding, we think navy accents would be really beautiful. Where the red chair was, add a Reynolds Bench in our Austell Space fabric. First, working with your existing sofa, chair, and rug, we suggest adding a second smaller Lewis Rug in front of the fireplace and moving your red chair to the corner with a floor lamp for a reading spot. Our first suggestion is to rotate your piano 180º so that the bench is in the corner and you’d be facing into the room while playing. You are absolutely correct - creating multiple seating arrangements and multiple focal points will transform this space from awkward to beautiful and inviting. The piano stays (and I’d love to repurpose the couch if possible) but I’m open to totally rehauling this room. I would appreciate any help you can provide, as I’m totally stuck here. Should there be a small sitting area to the right of the fireplace? Also, I feel like there should be something to bring attention back to the fireplace. I’m also challenged with finding the right rugs – I think the one we have now is too small, and I’d like a runner or something for the entry, in front of the fireplace, to set it apart. I’ve also tried the chair in front of the windows with the couch where the chair is now, creating an entry way. I’ve played with the furniture we have, but have been hesitant to invest in anything else until I figure out the best set up. There are no really no walls for furniture, the fireplace competes with the piano as the focal point, and the front door (which we really only use for guests) opens right into the room. But since we have lived here (about two years now) I can’t seem figure out how to arrange furniture in our beautiful yet super awkward living room. ![]() Please help!
