- Above the Fireplace. Mounting the TV above the fireplace is ideal when a fireplace is a focal point in an entertainment or family room. This saves space and allows users to switch between uses without the need to rearrange furniture.
- Built-in Cabinet. Linear and wide electric or gas fireplaces are popular and usually have lower heights. Framing dimensions of this sleek fireplace can be as low as 23″ with a fireplace height of only 15″.
- Beside the Fireplace. Not all fireplaces are positioned at the center of the room. Placing the TV beside the fireplace can balance the look if the fireplace is offset at the center.
- At the Center of the Room. Place the Television on one side of the room when a fireplace is positioned in a corner. This frees up a wall space beside the fireplace that is wide enough to place a built-in shelf or an alcove.

The first thing you need to do before you start arranging furniture is to figure out where people walk when they are going through the room. The obvious traffic flow paths are between all of the doorways in the room. But there may be some others, if you have other areas in the room that are a “destination”. Maybe you have a built-in bar, a wood bur...
The second living room layout decision is to figure out what you want the main focal point of the room to be. This could be your fireplace, the beautiful view out your window, some artwork that you love or even the TV. If your house is like mine, you may have multiple focal points to choose from. My living room has a large window and a corner firep...
Okay, you can skip the living room design diagram if you want to. But I find it’s really helpful to draw out my floor space and how I think the furniture should be arranged before I start moving stuff around. Ideally, this floor plan is drawn to scale on a piece of graph paper or using a room design app (ie. you measure the length of all your walls...
If you have any furniture that only fits in one or two places in your room, put that furniture in first. For small living rooms, there may be only one way that your large couch will fit in your room. Or if you have an open concept living room, there may be only one wall that is big enough to fit your large armoire (or other large piece of furniture...
If you are going to have a TV in your living room, figuring out where it will go is your next furniture placement decision. You will likely want it to be somewhere in the vicinity of your focal point so that you’ll be able to see both from your seating arrangement. For best viewing, you don’t want it to be directly across from a window that will ca...
The next step of designing your living room layout is to create conversation areas. These are groupings of furniture where people can sit and talk. You will want your main seating area to be oriented around your focal point. And be able to see the TV (if you have one in the room). The easiest way to do this is to have your sofa facing directly at y...
Now you’re going to look at the living room furniture arrangement you’ve created and make sure the traffic flow works. Remember those traffic paths you defined above? You need to make sure that when people are walking through the room along those traffic flow paths, it doesn’t feel like an obstacle course. You know where your guests have to jump ov...
Finally, you want to add in your tables, area rugs, table lamps and other accessories to your living room furniture arrangement. A few hints: 1. All seats should have a end table close by to put down a drink. 2. Coffee tables should be about 14″ to 18″ away from the edge of the sofa (or chairs). 3. If tables are close to a walkway, consider using r...
- TV Above the Fireplace. The easiest and most common layout is to put your TV above the fireplace. This way, you can make the most of both by cozying up to the fire while watching your favorite movie.
- TV Next to the Fireplace. If you’re not keen on mounting your TV over the fireplace, you can always place it next to the fireplace on the same wall or inside a built-in shelf.
- Corner Fireplace. Arranging furniture around a corner fireplace doesn’t have to be a daunting idea. In open living room layouts, you can match the angle of the fireplace around the seating by positioning the TV as close to the fireplace as possible.
- Fireplace in the Middle of the Living Room. When your fireplace is located in the middle of your living room, it acts as an independent feature and barrier between the living room and other spaces.
- Think Outside the Box – In a living room with fireplace and tv consider putting a dining table in front of the fireplace instead of your sofa. This might not work for all floor plans, but if you’ve never thought about this as an option, try it.
- Use Opposite Walls – Try setting the TV at the opposite end of the fireplace. In this example, the home has two swivel chairs in front of the fireplace and two sofas that face each other.
- Side Seat – Set the TV beside the fireplace. You can put the TV at an angle or flat against the wall. You can achieve this either by setting the TV on a stand beside the fireplace or by stowing the TV in a media cabinet.
- Project it – If you have a fireplace and a modern design aesthetic, consider getting a drop-down projector screen in front of the fireplace. I had my doubts about this until I saw interior designer Emily Henderson put a projector in her family room.
