Need help for my Family room

il y a 9 ans

I have a feature wall in my new house and I would like to incorporate a gas log fire ( already purchased) and a large TV with cabinet underneath. My dilemma is that I have windows & doors both sides and I can't place the fire in the corner at an angle. All construction will need to be at right angles to wall. Also I don't want to place TV over fireplace as everyone will end up with sore necks. Thus what is better fire place in the middle with a nice picture over it and TV in corner or vise - versa. Thanks Steve

Looking at this space you can see the layout is focused on that back wall, and the sofa will create the 'room' so to speak. Both a tv and a fireplace need to be placed so I would build a box on the rit out from the corner about 1500mm almost like a fireplace hearth, incorporate the built in fireplace there so the sofa and chaise has room for the heat to enter, then with the remaining wall, have joinery built from the fireplace box across the wall at a shallow depth as much as the window allows, some floating shelves above or leave he tv on the joinery and clad the back wall with horizontal lining boards. This will become your new feature and built in always has a look of luxury no matter what the style.
Good luck. ML Design

We have a similar issue with a rectangular room and windows at both ends. Our feature wall is much longer than yours so we have decided that the fireplace will be central and the focal point of the room. We will build in a simple unit to the right of the fireplace (the southern end of the room) and that will house the TV and media materials with minimal open display shelves for a few special things. At the other end to the left of the fireplace, where the floor-to-ceiling north-facing window is, we will have enough room for our great grandfather's handmade beautiful Edwardian bookcase and two comfy reading chairs strategically places at the sunny window. Re couches, we will probably buy a two and three seater, placing the longer one opposite the fireplace and the shorter one in an L position at the TV end. There are only two of us so watching the TV will be from the longer lounge and when we have need of both couches, it will be for visitors and the TV won't be used. We will put down a floor rug that allows a border of our wooden floors to be visible at the front of the couches and smaller coffee tables at the end of each couch. I want a nice clear space between the couch and the fireplace to make the room look less cluttered. This is all in the planning budget for the new year and I'm busy looking now at color schemes and furniture that's suitable for the room size. Good luck with your project. Annie

That one transitional piece that must be perfect.

I have a very well built set of furniture my Father made - so for the emotional reasons I will not give it up. Then comes the BUT - it is pale and made out of solid birch with absolutely beautiful flaming, swirling type of wood - and I love dark almost black, black and some grey for my furniture. I like silver over gold, latter of which I will not accept. It is crime to paint wood - generally speaking especially when it is beautiful - and so I will not do. The set of furniture includes a bit over 3 m long very near ceiling height book selves with center area designed for the TV and a stereo.. electronics. It has its own lights. There is section with led-glass and other with wood doors - some open shelves. Down there is a bit larger base with drawers. Then there exists an additional extension which can also be set else where in a room. There is 1 sqm large a coffee table high enough to work as a laptop table with structural design and a hidden base compartment for a home safe (how ever not good for permanent work table - no way). I designed the table top for it and made it when I was a teen. The design includes glass cover. In addition I have a nicely sized, bit larger than usually lamp table with 3 drawers. I designed the legs for that - so they are not common type while still simple. They are more narrow at the ends than at the top. They have silver handles and traditional framed centers for the doors. The pale birch of the doors in this particular object found online is exactly what my birch is like - tone included... I like the black legs on that. I do like Art Deco - but something about this object just does not work. I need more options and ideas. This might be just the first and most important piece of furniture to get because... I prefer much more things like these.. Please help me to find that small, but not too small a piece that can unite well enough dark and the existing pale birch. Thank you.

Besoin de conseils pour choisir les rideaux pour un salon scandinave

bonjour, ils sont très bien les rideaux que vous avez trouvé, le bleu est bien clair et dans les tons pastels que nous utilisions beaucoup en Scandinavie. Le bleu assortie pour le coussin est parfait. Si vous souhaitez vous rapprocher du style Scandinave il faut choisir entre rideaux et voilage comme on ne mets jamais le deux, beaucoup trop lourd pour nous intérieurs ou on essaye toujours garder une luminosité maximale. En Tunisie vous avez le problème contraire donc il faudra s'adapter et trouver une équilibre entre le style Scandinave et vous besoins. Si vous souhaitez avoir une voilage je conseillerai vivement un blanc uni, sans rayure! votre tableau bleu et jaune sera très bien avec l'ensemble, il est très beau!

Hi. It's a tough one isn't it? First thoughts - I like the fireplace to be centred with a lovely mirror or artwork hung above it so it can be the main feature of the room. The TV could go in the right hand corner at the right viewing height. (Agree that TV's above fireplaces are often too high). As your corner lounge has the chaise on the left side, it would be easy for people to view the TV in the right corner, rather than the left. You will just need to put something in the left corner so that the wall is balanced. Hope that helps.

Thankyou Anniee for your comments. Yes with your larger room it appears to me that you have a nice plan. Yes we will put down a nice rug as well which will make it feel warmer in winter. The only thing I have thought of ( for my house that is) is that if the fire goes in the middle of the room you are less likely to look at it unless it is on..which will be only 3 months of the year where I live. Thus for watching TV every day it would be nice to have it in the centre not tucked away in the corner...I think I am thinking this way as my wife can then see the TV in the kitchen ( which is to the right of the dining table)...decisions decisions! Enjoy your furniture shopping. Cheers Steve

Hi Miss Hayley, yes I do like the look of Woodlands pic and I'm thinking of some floating shelves as well to balance the wall. To me the Bellevue Hill is suited to a large room and also has too many eye distractions especially when you are looking at the TV, Cheers Steve

keep it simple...tv in the middle (best for viewing), gas fire to the left, on an angle out from the wall (u can look at it when the ads are on)..move the cupboard (or whatever it is called) to the right, it's a nice piece, and the photos are good too. It will be under the window, which could make a nice focal point when the curtain is opened. Floor could do with a rug to soften the tiles. A pot plants in a fancy pot that contrasts with the olive green would be a nice touch. I wouldn't go a leafy pot plant, something simple and elegant with long stems (google search should find something)

Lots of traditional terrace houses have compact living rooms with a central fire/surround topped by a mirror/artwork and flanked by built ins w cupboards underneath, shelves above and the tv on one side or the other. Tried and true formula which would work well in your space.
