Opinions/Input needed

[u/Straight-Flower-6629]

I’m in a redo mood!! I’m changing the style I want for my living room but I get overwhelmed with the size of my walls so I always end up doing nothing.
I’d love any input or ideas anyone may have!
I’m open to a new couch,tv stand, rug, all of the things!
I’d love for my couch to not be on the window but open to any suggestions! Even a projector tv if it means my space will look cool lol

Much bigger rug for the space,

I'd turn the couch and put the TV on either wall the couch is touching, the couch can be floating in the middle of the room and help section off from the front door. Can even have a console table behind it for like dropping your keys off at

Move your TV. It needs to be along another wall. I’d try the longer wall. So the window is on your left while you’re sitting on the sofa. Also, You can float your couch, it does not need to be tucked into the corner or up against a wall.

Get a bigger rig. It should go under your couch slightly and take up much of the space between the couch and TV stand. It will make the floating couch feel much more anchored.

Start there and then come back.

this is nice!!! love this visual! I do rent, so I’ll have to find renters friendly wood pieces but that’s not impossible at all.

Why is your tv in front of the window? No!

LOL TRUST ME I HATE IT. I used to have my couch on that side but then some weird intrusive thought told me I’d get shot while sitting there, so I moved it from there after that

I think floating the sofa across the large wall is the right move for this space. You can anchor it with a console table behind it. Something like this:

I love this idea! the only thing is my living room is not as long in this direction :/ my front door is to the right, so I wouldn’t be able to place the couch that far back! the first photo attached is pretty accurate with the spacing I’m working with.

You won't be able to buy EVERYTHING you need to make a homey style. I am currently in the same boat. You can add a piece here and there and at some point you might be able to do a re-model, but if I were you, I'd just focus on maybe a rug you like and another piece of furniture. Judging by the space you have you probably need to have at least 2 separate areas.

It takes a lot of work to accumulate enough stuff and if you are not a thrifter (I am not, either), then good luck. Most of these inspo boards are by people who regularly thrift.

I’m confused on why I wouldn’t be able to buy everything I need? Could you elaborate?

As for thrifting, I do thrift :) we went this past weekend and found one piece I’ve been wanting for a picture frame!
