Hi all!!
I have just moved into a new flat and the living room is quite small, since its rented with the furniture it’s not super straightforward to swap it but I am a bit stuck on how to best furnish the room, any suggestions? I am thinking of adding shelves to the area above the sofa as well! (Excuse the mess!)
You need to consider if 3 tables are too much for the room. Shelves over the sofa will be difficult to use and maybe dangerous; better to put the pictures from the opposite wall up there and your shelves over and around the TV.
It seems like your sofa should be pushed further left, away from the desk. The desk chair has no space to function! Similarly, push the unit with the TV away from the dining table. Find a big artwork to put over the sofa. You do have a lot of small clutter things that could use a shelf, so you're right in wanting one. I suggest pushing the TV to the right and then hanging three narrow shelves to its left, spacing them so the top shelf's contents are equal to the TV's height or slightly above it.
Listen to ismebeth and then add an area rug, a throw pillow and a blanket with your favorite colors in a style that suits your tastes. Your place will look great.
