New Orleans living rooms
I like this sofa — and color — for NOLA library
Another potential layout for library. Sofa facing fireplace, two comfortable chairs angled to the side of the fireplace, with coffee table anchoring entire seating arrangement. Could also arrange furniture so chair backs are to the dining room and do the little upholstered stool seat in front of the fireplace.
Here is a layout that I think could work for the family room in NOLA -- looks slightly more formal than a sectional couch, but same effect. Two comfortable sofas sharing an end table, center round glass coffee table, extra chair (leather chair with ottoman?) with its own small side table. This is the same layout with same focal points as our room, minus the built-ins. TV to the right of the fireplace, 2 large front windows, full wall to the back of one of the couches.
I like this layout for library sitting room. Focal point is fireplace, but one sofa is also facing built-in book shelves, another nice focal point in the room. Need a decent lighting fixture like the one pictured here. I like the color of these sofas, too, and I think the look I'm attracted to is neoclassical.
Again, imagine that big armoire/built-ins is the fireplace. 2 sofas and chairs arranged this way, yes?
