This is actually a layout that someone messaged me on Instagram about. Layout 4 & 5 : NARROW WITH FRENCH DOORS & FIREPLACE By angling my beloved peacock chaise toward the sofa, I was able to define the area even more and make it that much more cozy! Round/ oval coffee tables are great for smaller or awkwardly shaped rooms because it’s easier to walk around them. Since we don’t have room for an end table, the console also comes in handy for placing drinks and food. I was able to create the feel of an entry “hallway” by putting a long, skinny console table behind our sofa. I knew right away that we’d have to put our sectional with part of it going against the window.

Not to mention that to walk through to the dining room, you would have to walk directly in front of someone watching TV (traffic flow is SUPER important). There was way too much space between the sofa and the TV and the room was not being utilized in the best way. I’m not sure if that was how they always had it, or if they had already started moving out… but it made NO sense. This layout should look familiar because it’s mine! When we first walked through our home (before buying), the previous owners had their couch back against the stairs with their TV on the same wall that we have it.

The irregular shape of them is perfect in a spot like this.

This also could be a fun area to use a faux cowhide rug. But if it were more of a closed off space, I think a chaise would be a great use of space! You could create a cozy reading nook type space by placing a bookcase across from it. In that case, I would put a dining table here. I’ve seen a ton of spaces where this area would be completely open and open to the kitchen. In this particular layout, the room is pretty big and there was empty space between the couch and the entry to the room. If possible, utilize the wall next to the fireplace and put a nice media console for your TV. I would definitely face the sofa towards it, but keep it straight.

I would personally never advise anyone to angle their furniture toward the fireplace. I think in this scenario, people get confused about how they should treat the corner fireplace (Does their TV need to be mounted above it? Do they need to angle their furniture? Etc). This layout isn’t based on a real room, but I know this configuration is pretty common.
