How you originally had the couch looked the best.. You could put a plant or lamp in the little corner next to the pillar.. A book shelf at the pillar.. couch next to it and console behind the couch ❤
The couch looks best as it was before. Somehow when furniture are not pushed against the walls the room looks bigger and more expensive :)
Bedroom wall for sure! A large plant in front of the pillar 👌🏼
You know what could work if you put a plant by the pillar that could help hide the pillar and would not have it off center to much. With the couch on the opposite side to the kitchen you could still get the same size rug. Just an idea.
I love the couch on the bedroom wall and then a buffet across from it in between the kitchen and the pillar. Then you could place a lamp or small side table next to the window with some plants.. I would just decorate around the pillar
The console idea, definitely.
You could use a large artist eisel as your TV stand...I've seen it done and it looks so artistic and cozy plus you can easily move it and no damage to walls (& easy to plug in from)
That is such a cool idea 😍😍
i like the couch on the other wall a lot more! it looks nice. I think I would put the TV on the wall mounted on the part that sticks out and then put book shelves on the rest of the wall. If you are doing a buffet, you could do hanging book shelves above or if you want to have a library feel, I would do long bookshelves. Under the mounted TV you could put a bar card sort of thing so the TV is not so alone on the pillar?
Another idea. Set the couch where it was before, but 2 feet or so from the wall and pillar. Than put bookcases or shelves next to the pillar on the right side, woth the same depth as the pillar, and fill out the gap between the pillars with them. So it appears a straight wall.
I actually like it how you had it in front of the pillar, with your idea of the console table behind. Being off-centre and looking into the doors would annoy me too.
It does look good on the opposite wall too, and that would mean having conversations between the kitchen and the living area would be easier when you have visitors.
Your Kitchenaid looks great - that colour goes really well with your kitchen. You’ll love it! I’ve had one for over 10 years - so useful!
thanks so much 💛🧡 I’ve used it once already and it was so nice. I’m really excited to start baking different things 😊
Love how your apartment is all coming together. I thought a buffet or credenza for your tv would fit in the space of pillar area. I like how the couch sits on the wall side as your bedroom door. Can't wait to see what happens next.
The kitchen aid is so pretty in pink! 🥰
I also like it on the bedroom wall it looks so much better there
I would put the TV next to the pillar in that recessed area, then if you put a few more photos/painting to the right of the TV you won't have to center it because the art on both sides will balance it out. I hope that makes sense.
I would put the couch next to your bedroom door, TV up on the pillar and then plants next to the windows, and on the right side of the pillar high and deep bookcas, so that it looks like builtin library. BTW the set of drawers you ordered reminds me furniture in your first appartement on Toronto.
Hi Rachel, I love the aesthetics of your content. It just makes me so happy and content…😊
Really loving how you’re setting everything up enjoy it with moving things around until it’s perfect just for you. I think you have a very good taste and style. Enjoy. Have a wonderful weekend.
I don't like long videos, but with yours I'm thinking: What? The end? 😊 Showing us the couch-options was great! Hope you will do this with other parts of your apartment too. 😍 Have a wonderful time decorating. 😎
I love the sofa by the bedroom door! Our TV is super off centre in our place, but it’s on a wall mount so we can pull it out and face it towards the sofa when in use. I love that it’s not the centre of attention in the living room :)
Also, yes absolutely curtains must kiss the floor!! Would return and buy longer ones xx
I liked your original placement of the couch & your idea of puyying a slim table behind it with a lamp. Just my two cents 🤗
The pink Kitchen Aid goes so nicely with the grey/blue kitchen cupboards
After seeing it I think the sofa on the opposite wall is ideal. Get a buffet for the wall indent and just set the TV on top.
You are overthinking it. Keep the couch on the bedroom wall and buy a sideboard and center that in the nook across from the couch. TV does not need to be centered with the couch. Like someone said - get a plant for the bump out in the living room.
This is definitely the move
I don't mind either position, but if you put the couch on the bedroom wall you could use a smaller tv unit, then a tall bookcase to mirror the pillar and create symmetry.
I liked the couch where you had it before in front of the pillar. It will look a lot more balanced once you have a couch table behind it with a lamp. What about two swivel chairs floating out between the tv wall and the couch to create conversation area? If you have people over and they want to watch tv from the chairs, they can just turn them towards the tv? Thanks for sharing your progress making your new place a home!
I would not do drapes in the LR if you have those blinds.
Did you try to put the couch facing the window? You could put the tv on a buffet on the left wall, and maybe add a nice chair. You could still watch the tv lying on the couch
About the placement of the couch...Think, what is it that you want to see in front of you when sitting in the couch? Buffet with TV? Bookselves? Or the view of the window ? (I don't remember though what view your window has).If you want to look straight at the window then you have to put your couch watching the window and this way you can differentiate the kitchen from the living room too
I would suggest centering the sofa in the whole space, between the window and end of the living room space. And sounds like a great idea to put a sofa back table in that niche.
Personally I don’t own a tv, I don’t really watch television, but I love a cozy movie night.. so I have a projector. The space in between the pillar and the kitchen would be a great space to project onto. That way I don’t have to look at a tv constantly when I’m not using it, and you can pack away a projector easily (mine is the size of a soda can), and I don’t have to worry as a renter about tv mounts and the such.
Definitely line the end of the sofa with the end of the pillar and add table behind it and use the space under the window for a low book shelf that will make the room look small and neat.
Love it so much
An accent chair would be perfect next to the couch if the couch is between the pillars
The way you had the couch originally is the best and put a book shelf next to it to separate it from the kitchen
Great going 😊 not sure if you have Ikea in DC, their sheer curtains are the best and they also have the extendable curtain rods. Happy hunting ❣️
I like the original position of the couch 😍😍 the kitchenaid you got is so cute 😍😍😍 I am really enjoying these videos 🥰🥰🥰
A plant in the corner and some furniture with drawers or side table
That was amazing that 3 drawers under the sink. Could you fit 3 more on the left and fit one big one or long one in the middle? I can’t wait to see more, I hope you’re having a great weekend.
Depending on the size of the TV they came out with these TV Stands that are more like an Easel which could be a vibe
Have you tried the couch centered to the tv wall but away from the wall that has the pillar so there is more of a gap between the couch and the wall altogether ? You said the room is wide so maybe losing that space isn’t an issue.
Put the sofa table in the center, tv on top of the table
I'M new to your channel, and I'm absolutely loving your videos.
Aw thank you so much and welcome 💛🧡 so glad you’re enjoying them
Dang that kitchen aid was a bargin! I thought I got an amazing bargin on my one at $500 AU but that is awesome and you got an extra bowl to what I got in my set 😆
Rachel, you are the one that has to live in your space. If you liked the sofa best where you originally had it so you could center the media console on oposite wall in front of the sofa, then you do what will make you most comfortable. I know you will make it absolutely beautiful when it is all said an done.
I did like someone elses comment about having your couch where you liked it, but pulling it a little closer to your media console. Then finding some shelving units the same width as the pillar and you could use the shelves to display decor , maybe have some baskets or pretty boxes and use those for some extra storage (camera equipment, stationery/office supplies). As the other person mentioned it would make the pillar less prominent and your living room a little cozier like you are looking for.
Just an idea. I would leave the couch there. On the side where it has a little bit of space I would get one of those tables that go under the couch feet to put drinks on there. Get a plug that is like an extension cord for the outlet behind there or you could get a light that slides under the couch in the corner there too. On the other side where there is a lot of space I would put in nice size and table there and in that little corner space I would find a small little shelf so you can put books and knickknacks just my idea then you can put a nice piece of artwork on the wall and angle your TV just slightly.
or i just had an idea that you could make a dining table nook on that wall next to the kitchen and the pillar or you could make it your office area
You need to get some self-adhesive curtain rod clips. They are smaller and work great.
I know it's a little expensive but should get the smeg coffee expresso machine. It's small but matches kettle Couch definitely position one suits better
It’s so pretty, I’m actually seeing if I can track one down on Facebook marketplace. Just waiting on two people to respond to me 🤞🏼
@rachelleea yes i know they're adorable. I want one but over $1000 in Oz new & barely any on the marketplace. Good luck with yours or hunting. I've heard they're really good though
You said you don't like the width or was it the length of the living room. So, what if you put the buffet with the tv on top of it at a comfortable distance from the couch and put the rug the way you like it and then put decor in the space behind the tv.
Yes, you'll have to deal with the cords, but you can get a white or black cord hider that is made for being flat on the floor and paint it the same color as the floor so it blends in.
You could still put an accent table beside that pillar. Or maybe you could make it into a reading nook. Or you could put an artificial fireplace, or your desk there instead and depending on the amount of room from behind the tv to the wall make the area in front of the window and pillar into a little reading nook.
I dont think everything needs to be perfectly centered to look good, and Im a perfectionist borderline OCD and those things usually bother me lol but if you center the couch to the space, the rug centered to the couch as well as a coffee table, and only have the tv unit a bit off center, it’d still look great. Im currently seating in my living room watching this and I have a faux fireplace that had to naturally be where I would mount the TV and the couch would only fit on the opposite wall, but because the door to the living room is also on the opposite wall, I couldnt fully center the couch, but it still looks perfect. I used the largest rug that would fill the space, centered it to the couch and the coffee table centered to both, and I cannot even notice that the tv is not right on the center. And I know I have it above the fireplace but it’d be exactly the same if it was a tv unit there.
Did you try putting the couch against the window? Facing the kitchen? That’s only if you’re not getting a TV.
Can you put a tall shelf unit between the window and pillar, same depth as pillar,same colour as wall
Why dont you put the couch where it was but a little forward from the wall.then you can find a slim console for that long space behind.
Don't feel like everything has to be up against the wall. Floating the sofa away from the wall on the window side allows you to walk all the way around the sofa and look out the window. I don't know if you have a TV or what your budget is for it but those free standing TVS that you can move from room to room could allow more flexibility.
Can’t wait to see how you style the kitchen, I have a dark grey kitchen with barely any natural light and it’s so depressing 😔
Just put the coach on the initial position and get something to place on the back.
lovely vlog
Thank you 😊
Could you stick the 3M hooks on the ceiling instead of the metal thing?
I was thinking that, but with this type of hook the rod would roll off. I did once have hooks that closed and clipped on to rods. Maybe I could find those again?
Oh that's true.. Yeaa I've seen those kind of hooks too.. May be worth trying if they don't stay on the metal bar.. good luck! Xx
You’re way over thinking it!!!
Do they have any units as models that can give ideas?? The sofa on the two door side makes more sense! Better view out the windows as well!!! Put the sticky velvet covered leg covers on bottom of the sofa legs!
Curtains to the very top and down to the floor!!!! Nothing harmed!
Never short curtains!
3 tier step stool
Maybe get more pieces for you living room, then you can see how it looks better than just giving the couch...gwen
What is that purple and black thingy under your bathroom sink? Also pillars are the Worst, after renovating our home we ended up with this ugly pillar that's blocking the way, it's not even in the center and I'm just trying to pretend that it's not there.
They’re hot rolllers for hair 😊
Hey👋👋👋👋👋
first🥰
Yay 🙌🏼
Have you asked your boyfriend if there is anything he doesn’t want that you can use from his apartment just so you don’t have double? I assume eventually you’ll be moving in together and then will have double of a lot of things you don’t use?
Definitely like the couch by your bedroom door, you could do a buffet with TV on it in the place next to the pillar and put a really pretty planet or tree right in the corner by the pillar to help balance the space and maybe like a little blanket basket off to the right of the buffet/ TV
The chaise by the wall of the doors is a better arrangement. White hutch buffet on the opposite wall with a TV stand. Either a floor lamp in the nook by the pillar or a tall tree in a white pot filled with moss (faux preference). I would remove that painting on the pillar. It distracts the alignment of that space. A simple coffee table with a cozy rug. I prefer minimal decor. Keeping it simple and clean helps clear my mind from unnecessary chaos. However, you decide to decorate your space is entirely up to you, your personal touches will make it a home. Simplicity, clean, airy but homey feel for me helps my mind stay calm.
I prefer the couch how you originally had it. With a bookcase behind it in that piller nook and a big plant between the window and the pillar it will look good. Plus it will close that big space and make the lounge more cozy 💖🌸 either way I’m sure it will look amazing
Actually it's gorgeous on the opposite wall. Put TV on a tv stand.
A must that the curtain hit the floor and hung close to the ceiling. Your apartment is lovely.
Definitely need longer curtains - they should hit floor or even puddle on the floor.
Yes, the sofa looks perfect on the wall of the doors. On the wall for the TV, I would put it on the wall with the extender and a small table below. I would put the desk in the remaining space! 🤭
A desk is a great idea! I was thinking tall bookcase similar size to the pillar with the tv in between. But I like the function of the desk.
The couch doesn’t have to be against a wall if you don’t like a big space. Is there enough space to pull the couch closer to the tv wall and leave a bigger gap behind the couch? So that it fits nicely with the rug. If a room is big then all the furniture against the wall doesn’t always look the best. It doesn’t look like a huge room though.
The couch makes more sense and looks best where it was originally. I would keep it there but move it over ever so slightly so that it's in line with the piece of the wall that juts out. Then you can put a table or maybe a plant or floor lamp in that little nook to fill it out and make it look less awkward. I also like the shelf/table behind the couch to maximize the space. You could even lean some art pieces back there.
I like 2 way better ❤xx
The couch is better the way you had it in the beginning of the video. It makes more sense. The tv would look better up against your bedroom side wall. You dont have too have the couch right up against the wall. Pull it out a little bit towards Tele wall. ‘’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’or atleast try that configuration when you get everything. Tv Buffett, rug, art, it will all come together
I say put the couch on the pushed out wall and get a console table behind the couch
Can you pull the couch further forwards off the wall with the pillar so that you can create a desk space behind the couch into the gap between the kitchen and the pillar? Create two “zones” in that space? Also definitely get curtains to the floor!
I would have the couch facing the window , set back enough to have a TV to one side. A console behind facing ghe kitchen to break up the back view of the couch
I like the original placement of the couch better however if you like it against the opposite wall what you could do is get a bunch of bookshelves to fill the space
We have an extremely wide living room too, I pushed the couch forward and made a large enough gap for a desk and it's perfect
Do you ever feel homesick? Do you have any tips for settling in a new home/area?
🧐
I would adsolutely put the coach on the last wall you tried. It will make sense when you get the tv on the opposite wall. It doesn't matter if it's not perfect straight across from eachother. You will be abel to watch the tv any way. Somethimes you just need to make the best of it and don't think about it beeing perfect or not.
Have you tried not having the lounge against a wall? If you dont care about optimising space, then you could try putting a tv on a stand on the wall with the pillar and pushing the lounge over. Hang some art on the pillar and put a bigger floor lamp next to the window/pillar.
I liked the first idea you came up with, with the couch. Otherwise, I would probably have chosen a sofa with chechalon on the other side and put a pouf, armchair or similar in the corner in front, where the wall goes out🥰❤️
Adding my 2c worth to the couch situation. I liked it best where you had it first. As someone who doesn't have my furniture up against the wall, I use the space to keep my fitness equipment out of sight. Weights, yoga mats, and other bits that need somewhere to go, but easily accessible.
I like your first plan with a console behind the couch with plants and a lamp. I’d add a little bookshelf between couch and window.
I think plop the couch where you had it before! Then it will be in the centre of the opposite wall and you could put a console table something against the wall behind the couch! Or maybe some kind of bookshelf?
I'd pick the best view from your window while sitting on the couch
Loved this video! I just moved house in Australia and this has given me some motivation to organise stuff 🙂
Lovely so far but don't forget that you may need space for a desk in your living room too x
The couch does look better pushed into the wall.
Don't overpurchase. You might be out of that house much sooner than you think.
What makes you say that?
