Photos show me small LR. The fabric is of love seat (solid) and spool chair (floral). Everything else is needed. Any suggestions for area rug, additional furniture?

Hi patlamb. So, I am going to be honest here. This loveseat feels too massive for the space. The dimensions might actually allow the piece to fit, but it FEELS visually massive which may overwhelm the room. I would look for something that has an exposed leg, is shallower, has a narrower arm and a T-cushion. All of these will help your selection feel more scale appropriate to this small space. It also occurs to me that this room should be able to accommodate a full sized sofa. Is there a reason why you are leaning toward a loveseat? Regarding layout: Sofa with it's back centered between the pair of windows. Larger chair near the stairway as you have the mission recliner. Another chair to the right of the sofa with a lamp table between the two. Consider wall mounting the TV in it's present location and adding a console beneath it for components. It would be great if you found a console that is open beneath, providing a spot to tuck an ottoman or pair of square benches for additional seating. The key to this space will be in selecting elements that are VISUALLY light. Think: delicate frames, exposed legs, reflective surfaces, clean lines and lighter tones. Use pattern sparingly. I look forward to your thoughts. Best Luck!

Hi Trishtham, you can consider to have a see through TV feature wall or a glass panel wall with lower part as your TV console to create the location for TV and space for wall outside bedroom 2 as the location for sofa. If You want a spacious living room space, can even consider to extend the study room wall to push the TV feature further towards dining area.

Looks like you have a decent amount of light in the room. I would go with frappe or sonnet by BM, I would recommend a jute rug with a lt blue border, they sell them at Pottery Barn..this will give added texture!

Patlamb, More information is needed in order to make any thoughtful recommendations First some questions: How many do you need to seat? How is the room used and by whom? Do you need the space to fulfill multiple functions or one, primarily? The fabrics suggest to me that you are Traditional to Transitional in your taste. True? Is the doorway to the dining room, shown in one of the photos, the one at the narrow end of the room, to the right of the stairway, on your floor plan? Can the corner cabinet be utilized elsewhere in the home? I look forward to your response(s). Thanks, Dan

That looks like quite a challenge. We love challenges. Could you take pics that show the room in more light?

Here are better lighted pics. Dan, you're correct on DR door placement. I would like to seat 6 or so, have it be family oriented. Not too stuffy. House is 1940's cape cod. So in keeping to the traditional. The love seat shown is what I'd thought to use.
