Hey ladies,
Help!! I have a dilemma here. My living room is long and skinny with 3 doorways, and a window! It is 26 X 13.6 feet. I just bought a new couch and recliner and now I have no idea how to arrange the room. (The couch is 94 inches long. ) Anything can be moved, even the fireplace. (we haven't hooked up the gas yet) I would like to keep the computer in the Living room if possible. Any suggestions would be so helpful!! Thanks in advance.
Oh and sorry for all the pics....just wanted you all to get a good idea of how the room looks now.
File cabinet beside Fireplace is gonna get moved, just there temporarily.
I have no idea what to do with the wall that is part hallway, part living room. UGH!
Looking into the living room, from the dining room: Everything seems to be lined up against the wall
I know the window treatment is messed up, DD pulled on it...LOL!
THE RESULTS:
Thanks for all your help ladies!! I used lots of your ideas. Let me know what you think of the results!! (We plan on getting hardwood floors in the future.)Any suggestions on tweaks are appreciated. =)
Ignore the cable cord. My hubby's got to get under the house to move it...
LOL! Ignore the vacuum cleaner!
I'm going to add three more pics to the right side to balance this out. I have to get 3 more black frames first. What do you all think of the "B" and the arrangement??
Sorry for all the pics! LOL! Thanks for all your help girls!! I love my LR now!!=)

I think the fireplace looks lost where it is, I would try it at the opposite side of the room. I would put the desk where the fireplace is. I would put the recliner at the other end of the couch in front of the coffee table and it would brake the up the length of the room and be more cozy. Or put the fireplace where the tv is and move the tv where I said to put the fireplace. I like the color of your room. Good luck.

ok you could put your media center against the wall where the toys are and then have the couch infront of it but have the back of the couch lining up where the wall ends to the kitchen (hope that makes sense) then you could put your fire place where the tv used to be. put the desk where the fireplace is now and as far as the recliner maybe you could angle by the window or something, not sure what to do with the recliner. one good thing about putting the tv on that wall is that the sun wouldnt be shining on the tv

I would move the desk to where the fireplace is now. The file cabinet is already there....then that area could specifically be an office-type area. The entertainment center could be on the wall where the picture and the toys are, since it's the largest wall, and the largest piece of furniture. The fireplace could be on the wall where the entertainment center is now. I would put the recliner sort of in the middle of the floor, angled next to the end table at the left of the sofa.

Thanks ladies!! I'll try some of these ideas. But the couch is too wide to fit in the middle of the room facing the toys. There wouldn't be enough room to walk around it. Thanks again for all the input and great ideas!
