Living Dining Room Ideas for Furniture That's a Little Too Small But Has to Work for Now

AtHomeWithCookie

Hello hello!

I am new here and new to my current apartment. We moved into a much bigger space and now the furniture we have feels too small. For now we have to make it work, but I can't quite work out the best layout for the living-dining room.

We have:

48" round dining table and 4 chairs

33.5" x 27" arm/lounge chair

87" curved sofa

And will soon have a 119" TV console against the long wall opposite the kitchen (but closer to the window/sliding doors).

Bar stools pictured in the floor plan also coming soon.

I am actively looking for round coffee tables for the living area.

The entryway feels bare so I am considering to low chairs and a small table.

I keep moving things around but nothing feels right!!

Any ideas are welcome. Thanks so much in advance.

I've been there before when it feels like nothing seems right — hopefully we can help you out! So is the smaller table with the two chairs the furniture you're considering to fill up the entryway area? The floor plan is a great first step to get us visualizing, but I'm wondering if you'd be able to share a couple of photos to get a better sense of the space/style? While you figure out the furniture situation, I would try to play with scale through decorative pieces and plants to help balance things out in the meantime. Large artwork can go a long way and help build your home's story without feeling like you need to overhaul everything all at once. And there's no such thing as too many plants in my opinion! You can use columns or stools to bring height to plants or other decor. Basically find ways to draw the eye up
