Hi everyone!! So first of all, please excuse the mess – I’ve just moved into my new flat so still lots of boxes and things that need putting away 😅
So far I’ve pretty much just followed the set up the previous owners had in terms of the position of the tv and sofa etc. However, I don’t think it’s working, largely because of where I’ve put my desk – I think it needs to go beside the window, since right now I’m just staring at the wall and it doesn’t exactly inspire me to work there lol.
But I’m struggling to figure out how I’d position the rest of my furniture if I were to make that happen: if I kept things as they are, or if I swapped the tv and sofa, whatever is against that green wall would need to be placed quite a bit further towards the other side of the room (towards where the desk is currently) to make way for the desk’s new position beside the window, whereas the sofa or tv stand would need to stay in the middle of the opposite wall since the doorway juts out. So the tv and sofa wouldn’t be aligned basically, which feels like a problem? And I’m also worried that putting my green sofa against that green wall would look odd. So then my only other option would be to have the sofa away from the wall at an angle in some way, but I’m not sure if that would close the room off or just not look right. I also have my record stand to consider; that can’t go against the wall where the window is as I don’t want it near the radiator.
Just wondered if anyone has any thoughts/suggestions on how to do this? Is there a way to have the sofa or tv stand away from the wall without splitting my room in half and wasting space? It’s my first time doing any sort of interior decorating so would really appreciate any help at all.
Also, if anyone has any tips on how to bring the room to life a bit more, I’d love to hear them!! It’s very cool toned at the minute and feels a bit cold, so I’m trying to think of how to combat that while maintaining my preferred style (I’m not really into bright colours, I like an edgier vibe etc). I know the lighting doesn’t help but I hate yellow lighting so something else will have to give (although I’m happy with nice warm lightning in the evening so have table lamps for that).
Thank you so much in advance for any help!!
