My living room is about 12ft by 12ft. The furniture that is in it has either been given to me or I have purchased it. I am not picky about my furniture because it is one of my first apartments and I don’t see the point in spending a lot of money on furniture unless it is for comfort.
There is one off white couch that can seat about three people comfortable. I purchased it in a used furniture store, where in its previously life, it was rented. I am unaware of the brand, but I chose it because it was comfortable, wasn’t ugly (it was plain), and was a good price (about $199).
The color does get dirty easily, but the off white can match just about anything and you can add all sorts of throw pillows to jazz it up. There is also a brown coffee table that was given to me by my sister. It is fake wood, but it gets the job done.
I use it to put my feet up on when I’m sitting on the couch, or to put my lab top on it. I plan to pant it black one day to match the other things in the living room. The TV stand, fish tank stand and book case are all black. Read more »
We are a young family. We live in an area that although the cost of living may be considered low compared to the rest of the country, that cost of living is higher than many of the areas of this state.
As a result, we have a small house. Two adults and two kids need to be able to function together peacefully in this space. We have a long living, narrow living room. This is the only space for entertainment, home office, and playroom in the house.
We have a mix of old and new in this space. We have an old pull-out couch. This piece comes in handy when we have guests. It is brown with different tones of brown stripes in a cable pattern.
To prevent too much attention drawn to the cable couch, we’ve covered it with a neutral beige cover. When we don’t have guests, this has become a place for me to do laundry. Read more »
I live in a trailer home so my living room is more long than wide, so when I had to put furniture in it, I had to come up with some creative ideas since I didn’t want to lose my stuff to another room.
My birthday is in October so I have tons of Halloween stuff, and my furniture matches.
Both my couch and my big easy chair are black. All my bookcases are black, of course, and so is my TV stand. The bookcases and stand are the simple do it yourself ones right from Wal-Mart for under 100.00.
I couldn’t tell you where I got my couch and chair from as they were a gift from my mother for my birthday three years back. Read more »
I live in an apartment with a modest sized living room. Most of the furniture in the living room is second hand. I have a sofa that the cats have shredded so I cover it.
The computer is there with a desk. There is a small TV and a stereo that sits on a coffee table. I have a baker’s rack that I put together myself.
I use it to display knick knacks and as display area for holiday decorations. I have a metal shelf for books and lots of books. I also have two side tables for the phone and a lamp.
The living room does not have an over head light so I need two lamps for lighting. I also store other things in the living room like CDs, DVDs and video games. Read more »
