Hey there! I would love any suggestions on how I can plan the floor of the living room (vardagsrum in Swedish) in my new flat! The angeld wall makes it awkward, but I want to embrace the quirkiness. The ceilings are tall, typical in turn of the century apartments where I live. I would live to have a sofa, tv, an arm chair, some book shelf or display shelf. Thank you!

I love that you want to embrace the quirkiness of the room! The obvious answer here feels like using the one straight wall as your base for the TV, but that would require you to surround your furniture around that, and I'm not sure that embraces the curves of the room. What if you got a curvy/angled sofa to play into the weird shape of the room?

I would position it so it's facing the windows and create a little nook in that corner. The only tricky thing might be the TV situation because there's no blank wall there. Would you be open to a projector or having your TV on an easel or something like this?

Hi, thank you for your message! I agree that placing the TV on the straight wall would mean some 'wasted' space at the corner nook. I would love to have a cute reading corner at the corner nook, but that leads me to question the arrangement of the rest of the furniture. But the curved sofa is a good idea!

Maybe something like this could work?

Or instead of formal lounge chairs, you can have a combination of a bench or bean bags/floor pillows that make it easy to move around as needed. Either way, I agree that a reading nook sounds sweet 😍

Oh wow ok this looks pretty cool! I wonder whether I would be able to sit diagonally all the time on the sofa though. But I think it is just a matter of getting used to the layout. Thank you for your help!!
