How To Layout Your Living Room….

A little lesson on space planning and layouts. Ahhh the living room such an important place that plays a major role in the home ? I wanted to give a few tips on making sure it is functional. See below from an instagram post I did about a month ago:

Morning ☀️ I wanted to start off with a little inspo and a lesson on space planning, especially when designing a space with a Chaise Lounge (pronounced shez- lawng not shayze- lounge, many of us are guilty of this ?) .

1) Always put the chaise on the long side of the wall so you do not block your path of entry to outside or another room access

.

2) Have an occasional chair off to the side across from the chaise

.

3) Coffee table centered in between

.

3) Ottomans or benches for additional seating for conversation when you have guests over

.

4) Rug around perimeter of room

.

5) C – Shape side table at the end of chaise so person sitting there can place a drink (in this pic there is an extra ottoman)

.
6) Lighting! Arc lights work great over sectionals

.

7) Art and or plants to add a little va-voom .

And viola! You have the perfect space planned, acessorized, stylish living room. .

P.S. Id you want to add depth ans style to the walls do a paneling. It is very #FrenchRenaissance but just more to the space. Especially if you are trying to vear away from modern design.
