A little lesson on space planning and layouts. Ahhh the living room such an important place that plays a major role in the home ? I wanted to give a few tips on making sure it is functional. See below from an instagram post I did about a month ago:
Morning I wanted to start off with a little inspo and a lesson on space planning, especially when designing a space with a Chaise Lounge (pronounced shez- lawng not shayze- lounge, many of us are guilty of this ?) .
1) Always put the chaise on the long side of the wall so you do not block your path of entry to outside or another room access
2) Have an occasional chair off to the side across from the chaise
3) Coffee table centered in between
3) Ottomans or benches for additional seating for conversation when you have guests over.
4) Rug around perimeter of room
5) C – Shape side table at the end of chaise so person sitting there can place a drink (in this pic there is an extra ottoman)
6) Lighting! Arc lights work great over sectionals7) Art and or plants to add a little va-voom .
And viola! You have the perfect space planned, acCessorized, stylish living room. .

P.S. Id you want to add depth ans style to the walls do a paneling. It is very #FrenchRenaissance but just more to the space. Especially if you are trying to vear away from modern design.
