It has cathedral ceiling with the higher end to the left if you are looking directly from the kitchen. The bad part is that the fireplace is right smack in the middle of the end wall. To the right of the fireplace is a window and on the other side of that window there are two more windows. We found a nice corner unit that fits our new TV right on this corner and from the kitchen the view is awesome. The problem is we've just decided to buy a 5-piece sectional in which we are going to place on the left wall with the chaise chair parallel to the fireplace (which has about a foot of brick area extended out - sometimes friends used this as seating area). The corner piece is going to "block my view" of my open area by almost half and we were lucky enough to find a piece that only juts out about 93 inches from the left wall. Our question, are we making a big mistake in putting a 5-piece sectional in this room? Too late now I guess! Next question, what could we put up on the empty area above the long side of the sectional (ie, the wall that goes all the way up to the second floor). I know I am going to miss my big open space with that corner piece sticking out in the middle.

There will be a huge wall of windows on the arch side and we would like to put the fireplace against that wall, but in the corner. I think it will look really odd to have the fireplace going up the corner of the wall that ends in two different heights. What do you think about this? We don't want to put the fireplace in the middle of the wall because that is where we want the entertainment center to go. Any suggestions?

I painted the Great Room in Nevada Sun & the corner fireplace is painted white with black insert & brass venting. I have two oblong mirrors w/ gold & black frames on the walls above the fireplace, but am not happy with this look. On the mantel I have a glass antique latern with a few photos & candles. There is a window in the great room with white California shutters to match the ones in the kitchen.

I hired a decorator because I couldn't figure out what to do with the room. She placed large wooden blinds on the windows to make them warmer. I wasn't sure about it because we have a great view, but it doesn't block the view. The furniture is arranged in a diamond shape. I had a sectional couch and she used two pieces on each side of the fire place anged toward it, but facing the center of the room. Behind each couch she placed a table with decorator items (clock, book, trinkets etc). Then there are two round end tables with large lamps (one against the window wall and one directly opposite it on the far wall). Then two more couches angeled off the end tables with sofa type tables behind them and decorated. A nice size coffee table in the middle completes the arrangement and now it is a great conversation area. She used mirrors, ivy, a bowl with gold balls, and my books to decorate the bookcase. I hope this helps! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Decorating Living Room with Fireplace, Bookcases and Windows Post by drewbug04 (1) | (03/28/2005) Contact What type of decorating are you into? Have you ever tried to do "Stain Glass" It itsnt as hard as you think and with all of your windows it sounds like you need a distraction of color.Heres a pic. of my window I did in my dining room(the trellis isnt part of the design.) and craft stores sell the pre-designed and self sticking designs so thats where the easy part comes from.putting the color on takes time but it s really worth it. heres a link to a craft store to give you ideas. http://www.michaels.com/art/online/ ... rch=yes&keywords=stain+glass&type=0.
