Help with furniture layout

Page 1 of 1
As the title suggests, I am struggling big time with visualizing furniture layout of this space


Room is an odd size 2680w x 3350l (boxed in area) plus it has a large window AND a opening in the wall.. The room does open up at the front, however I just can't see how I can utilise that space

.

Room will be used as family room. I have not purchased any couches etc yet!!

Guess no one else has had to battle out this size room.

Do you need/want anything beyond a sitting space? Bookshelves, storage, desk, etc? TV?
Just sitting area / tv.. Enough sitting to accommodate 3 kids plus adults

hi Krash, is that your only living room/space? or is it extra...& off the kitchen?
It looks like there is only 1 power point available for the TV so I'd say it is a choice between this:
(negatives - you're blocking the window with the seating)

or this:
(negatives - long power cord or cost to put in new power point and TV may be partly in front of window)

or this:
(negatives - long power cord or cost to put in a new power point, sound from TV will be not as good, harder to secure a big TV without a wall behind it.)

Blue = seating, red = TV, green = room divider shelf, something like an Ikea Kallax/expedit.

For the seating, I'd look for a compact modular set. Can't be too deep or else it won't fit - but that will give you the maximum seating spaces compared to (say) a compact sofa and chair. It is an awkward space.
thanks Dragonchild, have definitely given me more options to think about. Given the smallness of the room, I am thinking of the Ikea Fiheten Modular..
I also came up with this idea.




Excuse the really bad picture.

I included arm chairs, a. So I didnt have a big open void space, and B. so we have more seating options.
I guess I wont really know until we are moved in.
Of course, the negative is that the TV is blocking the window..

thanks for your input.
Hello. .
We are in and settled, so thought i would update with some pics..
The room is smaller than i remembered & pretty restrictive! Whilst the layout is not perfect, it works! ...

For now









That looks like a lovely welcoming space - it looks like you utilized the space well!
Thanks Bonnie

Am hoping one day to knock out the window, build a deck outside and have bi fold doors opening up to the deck!

One day!

You never have a fridge against wall as you’ve drawn. The doors can’t open past 90 degrees and it’s difficult and maybe impossible to remove drawers

Possibly both depending on the sizing. Idea of working from the centre is that you dont have a 20mm thin tile at one end and a 400mm at the other end. A quick search on…
