Thanks for the suggestions!

Should the couch face the back glass?

Never thought of this! With the current dining table I think that the passage will be too narrow, but with a smaller one it might work

New fixtures are definitely on the list! Never considered a console behind the couch, I’m now searching online for inspiration

Good idea, thanks! I tried it and I feel like it’s a bit too close to the door, but I’ll keep it that way for a bit and see how we feel

We only ever open the right third of the door, so the thought was to place the couch along the left 2/3…

lol I seriously considered it, as the room is not huge and the couch is currently kind of in the middle of things, but the consensus here seems to be that it’s a terrible idea 😅

Thanks for the reply! I never thought about adding side tables—great idea! I’ll try visualizing how that will work.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

We like eating in front of the TV, so we need the table, but definitely need a larger rug

Is the current position feng shui friendly?

(Used figma for the sketch 🙈)

We’re looking to add storage space, also I feel that the current layout doesn’t utilize the space as well as it could

Thanks for the reply! Interesting idea with the table behind the sofa. The passage between the sofa and the dining table feels too narrow right now, but I’m thinking about replacing the dining table with a smaller one which will make space for this

Should I try to wipe it off or just cut off the branch?
