This is a great way to get more use from the room...four, over stuffed, comfortable chairs, surrounding a table or ottoman...perfect for an evening of nice conversation with good friends.

I love that look. You know what we are getting ready to do? Convert our never-used living room into an art studio. :D It will be tricky because it's the first room folks see when they enter our home, so we'll need some great storage!
ReplyDeleteOh i'd love to have a formal living room, my mum has one in her victorian house and its beautiful. Scarlett x
ReplyDeleteI always use my living room. I don't keep toys in it,but life it too short to have wasted space. I love the third and fifth one down. They look so cozy and bright. Thanks for the inspiration

Great photos! I have been trying to convince a friend to do this exact thing in her formal living area, and I can't wait to send her this link! Thanks for the inspiration.

It's a super sociable layout I must say - makes getting together and chatting that much easier if you're not having to lean left and right constantly to include everyone. Lovely pictures!

ReplyDeleteThat's just what I did to my living room! In fact a couple of your pictures were my inspiration.

Warm, and inviting even without the fireplace on!!!! How great is that!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen we moved in our home, I purchased 4 big overstuffed chairs for our living room. This is what I had in mind. It is not how it looks... I need to get an area rug to "ground" the whole thing.
