I can't figure out how to living room
I'm perpetually frustrated by the layout of my living room, and I can't figure out how to make it both functional and look decent. This is the floorplan (with some ideas we had):
First of all, the living room is rather small.
Secondly, the main activity we do in it is watch TV together, and the television placement feels impossible.
I don't want to put the TV front of the windows. I don't want to put the couch in front of the windows. I can't put the TV in the passage-way. That only leaves the longest of the walls open, but if I want a couch to sit on, then I need to make it be floating without touching any wall, otherwise it obstructs the passage.
But in turn, that makes the TV become the visual centrepiece of the room which just looks... bad imo.
So we were thinking of getting something like this that could cover up the TV when not in use:
But any kind of shelving on that wall would pertrude past the window frame which, again, looks not great and _also_ blocks the already limited natural light.
Looking for advice!
