Decorating

Taking down the blinds and light. Need help finding furniture and decorating for a long narrow room. When you first walkin should I put an L shape couch (1) small sofa with ottoman and buffet on the side (2) or a small sofa with ottoman and an accent chair (3) Then on the other side of the room I would like a dining room table and China cabinet against the wall. I was thinking a fireplace between the living room and dining room to break it up a little where the wall comes out. What do you think? 1,2,3 or share your ideas please :))))

Re: Decorating

What are the dimensions of the room?

Against the far wall I would put a hutch or side board. In front of that I would put the dining room table.

Since I can't see the front of the room I am going to assume there is more space to put your couch against the front wall of the room. I would put two club/slipper/bergiere chairs facing the sofa. I would put a rug under the sofa and two chairs. On top of the rug would be a coffee table. I would not put a fire place on the jut out part of the wall. I would put a console table there that is quite narrow. Above it I would put either art or a mirror.

Hard to visualize just based on these 2 pics. I would assume that the DR table should be on the side with the chandelier (even though i know you said that you are removing).

I would use a room layout template and play around with the different arrangements. How did the previous sellers have the rooms configured?
