Hi everyone! We rented our beautiful Victorian house about 6 months ago and I have been trying to make our old furniture work for this space for a while but unfortunately it is a longer and very narrow room that doesn’t leave much space for our current furniture. We are open to replacing some of our furniture to make it fit better in the space, but we have some structural challanges that we are not sure how to solve, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

In our current setup, our sofa sits in the right wall and behind the sofa, and on the other side of the wall, there is our tv console that currently sits right in front of our radiator (which I know might be a fire hazard and it blocks some heat in the winter), and there is a huge entrance opening next to it. We have our bay windows, on the other wall, and our dining section opening on the other side. Every wall is blocked to put our sofa and tv setup. We spend a lot of time watching tv and movies, which is why we don’t want to eliminate our tv but we want to make our space feel more spacious and cozier with a proper conversation area setup that we can invite our friends to. Our style is mostly mid-century modern, and we would love to mix in some eclectic pieces, textures and patterns to our space.

We don’t have an official floor plan, but I created a digital floor plan myself with the correct measurements so you can see the actual dimensions to our space in the photos below. (The dimensions on the floor plan are in inches).

Advice on a better layout for my georgeous but very narrow and awkward living room
