Some ideas for arranging furniture in a long and narrow living room with many entrance doors, arch ways and windows
If you possibly are the inhabitant of a row house or town house that was built somewhere around 1890, you could now have a living room that measures about 12 feet wide by 24 feet long. Your living room, back in the day, most likely started out as two 12 foot by 12 foot rooms. One of the rooms was a formal parlor and the other one was a living room. Those two spaces were probably once divided by a non-load bearing wall with pocket doors, or there was an archway. In one or both of the rooms could have been, or still is a wooden or marble mantelpiece, which is a decorative non-working fireplace. I have found that many of my readers have rooms like that which also have many doors and windows cutting up the wall spaces, which makes it a challenge arranging furniture. For this post I’ve come up with 12 possible ways of arranging furniture in the space, and I hope one or more of them you can apply to your home.
Before I go over the 12 illustrations with you, I want to go over somethings that I feel will help you decorate your room…
(1-A).. When picking out sofas for your room, look for ones that have small arms, and are not (on steroids) over stuffed. Overly large pieces in your narrow room will take up precious space that is needed to keep the room from looking cramped.
(1-B)..When shopping for upholstered living room furniture, look into buying modular or sectional pieces.
Three armless modular pieces put together make up a full-sized sofa, but take up a lot less space. Also each individual unit that makes up a modular sofa, by itself, designates seating for one individual person. Skip any thoughts of a loveseat. A loveseat is really a big chair for one person. Armless modular pieces, along with modular corner pieces can easily be fit into corners of rooms if needed.
Sectional sofas are also great because you can get them with just the seat and back. Depending on its length, the armless middle section of a sectional sofa is called an “armless loveseat”. If you could work with it, a sectional sofa that has just one arm gives you the seating of a three cushion sofa, but is also a chaise lounge. A piece like that would look dramatic, but take up less space than a two armed sofa.
(2)..When buying chairs for your living room, look for chairs with exposed arms, no arms and exposed feet. By being able to look through arm spaces, or under chairs, your furniture will seem visually lighter, and that will suggest more depth in your space.
(3).. When it comes to coffee tables and end tables look for tables with full or partial glass tops (a wood or metal frame with a glass center) so you can look down through the table. Select coffee tables and end tables with thin legs or pedestal styled bases so they don’t look too massive. Stay away from chest styled end tables. Clear Lucite coffee or end tables are another option.
When pairing end tables and lamps in your narrow room, pick lamps with bases that are either pillar or torch styled; those styles have less visual weight.
(4).. Limit your end tables with lamps on them. Instead go for floor lamps that are 58 to 64 inches tall, and use them around your room for illumination. The thin bases of the floor lamps will not visually or literally take up too much air or floor space in your room.
(5).. Mount Swing Arm Lamps on your walls if needed. You can have them hard-wired with electrical boxes an electrician installs on your walls, or you can mount swing arm lamps that come with extension cords and plug them into outlets around the bottom of your walls. The plug-in styled swing arm styled lamps will also come with a decorative cord cover for a crisp designer look.
(6).. Mirrors are an important alternative to paintings, prints and photos in a narrow room. Buy mirrors with large decorative frames and hang them around your room. Stack many small mirrors, one above the other in the corners of rooms, and put a big mirror over a fireplace place, or behind a sofa. The mirrors will bounce light around your room, and suggest depth that your room really doesn’t have.
(7-A).. If you can work with it, get a wide striped area rug, and place it so the stripes go horizontally from one of your 24 foot long walls to the other. The stripes will lead the eye across the 12 foot wide room suggesting more width than it really has.
(7-B).. Put an 8 foot by 10 foot area rug under, or a 6 foot by 9 foot area rug in front of a sofa and chair grouping on one side of your room, it will designate a sitting area. Area rugs can be placed on top of rug pads, directly on top of hard wood floors, or an area rug can be placed directly on top of wall-to-wall carpeting if you have it.
Now, before I go over the 12 illustrations, I want to tell you one more thing I did to figure out the exact placement of the pieces of furniture that I used in the rooms…
In my November 29, 2013 post titled It’s EASY to Arrange Furniture in a Square Living Room, some Ideas that will Inspire You (click here to read), I talked about making a grid on paper of one inch squares that represent one square foot of floor space in any room you are thinking about arranging furniture in. I also made templates (puzzle pieces) that represented a 3 foot by 7 foot sofa (that template is 3 inches by 7 inches), a number of chair templates that represent chairs that average 3 foot by 3 foot square, an upholstered bench that is 2 foot by 2 foot, and other furniture pieces as needed.
With my grid made to represent the exact size of the room in inches, I also marked off, along the edges of the grid, the exact width of doors, archways, fireplaces/mantelpiece fronts, windows, etc that were in the room. I started arranging my furniture pieces in the space until I came up with what I felt were working combinations. After coming up with my first possible choice, so I would remember it, I did a quick sketch of the room on a piece of paper, showing the furniture arrangement. Because my room is twice as long as it is wide, I measures out a 2 inch by 4 inch space, made a red dotted line down the middle to show the exact center of the space and drew in the furniture.
Now let’s look at the illustrations.
Illustrations 1-8 show the layout of my family’s row house living room which we lived in from 1950 to 1972. At the front of the room was a small bay window that you could step into. In illustrations 1-4, on the left side walls of the rooms I put in fireplaces/mantelpieces. In all of the illustrations the red dotted line represents the middle of the space, dividing the one large room into two 12’x12′ areas. The arrows going into the rooms show ways of entry and traffic patterns.
Illustration 1 shows a room with two conversation groupings that are built around the mantelpieces. In the front of the room is a three cushion sofa that is counterbalanced by two upholstered chairs. In the back of the room by the second mantelpiece, a pair of chairs backs up against the two front chairs to form part of a conversation area, and they are counterbalanced by a chair with end table next to it. Notice how floor lamps are spread around the room for illumination. Row houses from the 1890’s most likely will have ceiling mounted light fixtures for primary illumination.
Illustration 2 shows two three cushion sofas facing each other in the front of the room with a coffee table between them. In the back of the room two chairs are placed next to each other, or better yet two modular pieces or an armless sectional sofa is placed there facing the mantelpiece. Two upholstered chairs flank the mantel forming a conversation area with the other seating in the space. Again, notice how floor lamps are placed around the room for illumination. For extra illumination, up on the wall, above and to the left and right of the two chairs, or modular or sectional piece that I suggest for the right side of this room, a pair of swing arm lights would work perfectly in that small space.
Illustration 3 shows the door to the front part of the room being closed and a three cushion sofa placed in front of it. To the left of the sofa is an end table with lamp, and to its right is a floor lamp. An artwork or mirror could be hung on the door for extra visual interest if needed. An upholstered chair is floating out in the room in front of the bay window. Two upholstered side chairs=SC (upholstered back and seat) or dining room side chairs (wooden back and upholstered seat only) flank the fireplace. Side chairs are usually smaller sized than most upholstered or occasional chairs and take up less space in a room.
To cut the bowling alley effect of the 24 foot long room, a desk with two small side chairs (SC) positioned on either side of it cuts the room almost in half; those chairs also form part of the conversation grouping in the back of the room.
Illustration 4 shows how the front part of the room becomes kind of office like with a big desk and two chairs counterbalancing it. A second conversation group, similar to the one seen in illustration 2 is in the back of the room. 
Illustrations 5-8 show how the room changes if the mantelpieces are removed, which gives more options for furniture arranging. The left outside wall in both of these spaces will not be completely flat. Behind the now taken away mantelpieces is a chimney, which was used back in the day when stoves were needed in the rooms for heating.
Illustration 5 shows a three cushion sofa that is flanked on both sides by a pair of upholstered chairs. There is also an end table with lamp on one side of the sofa and a floor lamp on the other. A side chair (SC) with floor lamp behind it is on the right side of the room by the entry door.
At the back of the room is a grouping of chairs and an upholstered bench (UB) which form a TV viewing area.
Illustration 6 shows how two sofas are placed back to back in the center of the room (red dotted ling) and chairs of different descriptions are grouped around them to form conversation and TV viewing areas.
Illustration 7 is a modified version of illustration 5.
Illustration 8 has the front entry to the room closed up/walled over, and the new entry from the hall is on the right. Two three cushion sofas are placed opposite each other and two chairs flank one of the sofas. The conversation grouping in the back of the room is similar to others already gone over. 
In illustrations 9-12 the 12×24 foot room has changed a bit.
Illustration 9 shows how a corner fireplace has been added to the 12×24 foot room. To counterbalance the fireplace on one side of the room, a grouping of modular furniture is placed opposite it. A side chair (SC) is placed by the fireplace for extra seating. At the back of the room to counterbalance the grouping up front, is a three cushion sofa and small coffee table with a TV across from it.
Illustration 10 is the same room as seen in illustration 9. A three cushion sofa is floating out from the wall, and is placed opposite the fireplace at the same angle as the fireplace is extending into the room. A drop leaf round table was placed behind the sofa to fill in space and an accent lamp could be placed on it. An upholstered chair or even a side chair is to the left of the sofa, and an upholstered bench (UB) is by the fireplace. A TV grouping is at the back of the room, and again notice how floor lamps are placed around the room for illumination.
Illustrations 11 and 12 both show a room with many entrances into it. There are French doors and windows looking/going out onto a porch on the left side of the room, two doors opening into a room(s) on the right and another entry at the bottom. With rooms like that, I placed the sofas first and tried to make groupings of furniture around them for conversation. Extra chairs are placed in corners of the rooms to fill in space, but can be moved closer to other chairs or the sofas when needed to form conversation groupings.
I hope I helped you a bit with arranging furniture in your long and narrow room. I have one more important bit of advice. Before buying any new furniture for your home, first get the measurements for the furniture’s length, width, and height that interests you. Go home and tape together newspapers to form templates that are the exact size as the furniture you are thinking about buying. Lay the template(s) on the floor in the place(s) you are thinking of having it/them and instantaneously you will know if it/they work or not. Remember you have to be able to walk by or around that piece of furniture you are thinking of buying for your space.

Fred – this is so helpful, but here is my issue . . . as you look at one of your drawings – on the right hand side – I don’t have a wall to divide the front door and open stairway and living room space. For me it is all one large room. Haven’t moved in yet. I’d like to get a sectional – positioned where you have designed a sectional – will it look ok to have the back of this couch as the room divider? Thank you so much (love your work!). Nancy Simpson. Toronto
*************Hi there Everyone**********, the San Francisco Chronicle has used this post as a reference for their article named How to add interest to a Boring Rectangular Open Floor Plan, here is the direct link, so you can see the article http://homeguides.sfgate.com/add-interest-boring-rectangular-open-floor-plan-105444.html , if you have a moment take a look
Hi there Nancy from Toronto, I would say, not really seeing your space, look at your room as just one big living room with a staircase in it, and don’t try to think about compartmentalizing your space. My living room is 15 1/2 by 28 foot and the front door opens directly into the living room space at one end. I put a Chinese screen close to the door to block off the view of the room when anyone enters. The screen causes a bit of mystery, and a person has to pass by it before they view the full room. As for the sectional, look for one with a nice looking back, think about pretty legs if it has any, or think about adding some kind of fringe or roping trim that could be used to pipe or embellishment it so the sofa is visually interesting. Also a beautiful fabric will do wonders. Even if it is a solid, think about something that has a pronounced texture for visual interest, if you can work with it. The number one thing is to go out and find something you like, GET THE MEASUREMENTS, and make the templates so you can see how it will fit in your room. I can’t stress that enough. Just because something looks one way in like a twenty thousand square foot show room, it will be completely different in your place. You are in a way SOO lucky to be moving into a new place, and can kind of customize your furniture to the space, versus having to make something that you know probably won’t work, work. Good lock with your project. I wish I could help people more, but my posts are just to kind of get people thinking and to inspire them. I feel most magazines show wonderful rooms, and people look at them as beautiful, but the viewer are never told what makes that space work. Maybe by reading enough of my posts a person will be able to look at the magazines and see in the photos, the concepts I am presenting here.
A couple more thoughts.. could you put a carved or visually interesting sofa table on the back side of the sofa and put an accent lamps on it, or some other decorations, or could you find some kind of wooden, metal or ceramic sculpture and put it behind the sofa, on the floor for some visual interest. I have a pair of Chinese gilded and painted roosters that are made of wood which are life sized. Something like that behind the sofa, on the floor could be that special something.
How about making an exact measured drawing of the shape of your living room and the hallway space with the staircase in it. Make a blue print of sorts with the exact measurements of every bit of wall space, any partial walls that jut out into the room, etc. You know, all/most of the people who work in furniture stores are decorators, or know enough about fitting furniture in spaces so they should be able to help you. Ask if they do a free home visit. Someone from the store, going to your home, will most likely have other ideas for your space, that my blog can’t offer. Good Luck with your project, and thanks for commenting ;-}
I just now read this post. I knew it would be a treasure trove of ideas so I wanted to give it the time it deserved. AND IT WAS!!!
I was thinking when you bold something you could link it to a past post, such as torchere lamp could go back to your post on lamp bases. I’ve reall ALL your posts, but it could help others. (Now that you’re on pinterest and all!) 🙂 I’ll query my living room arrangement in another comment.
Hi there Teresa, I have on occasion linked a past post in the body of the main article, and I did it one time in this one, but I think putting too many links in the main article breaks it up too much. I do try to put related things in the Companion Posts that follow the articles I write. In this post, I changed up things a bit and broke the companion posts into sections so many topics relating to the decorating of the living room would be available in one place for the readers to go over if it interested them. I am thinking about going back through some of the more read posts, and adding the multiple topics, as I did in this one.
As for me bolding things, I bold words when I want to stress something. It is my way of trying to get the readers attention, like saying look at this. I know most writers don’t bold words in sentences, But to paraphrase Miley Cyrus.. this is my blog and I am can do as I want ;-}
As always Teresa, thanks for your comments, they’re always appreciated.
I actually liked how you did it in this post, putting everything at the end, especially as this was a long detailed one, and I think it would be a great addition to your older most popular ones. I understand the bold is for emphasis; I do it ALL the time. I hope you didn’t take my comments as criticism…I actually wrote that before I noticed them all at the end.
It’s funny how I make schematics with elevations for all sorts of things, but have never really done it for furniture arranging. I’ll have to try it. I like to do the elevations, as well because getting things the right height is so important.
Teresa, never taken as a criticism, but a an opinion from a loyal reader ;-}
Have you ever thought about writing an ebook or guest authoring on other sites?
I have a blog based on the same topics you discuss
and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my audience would value your work.
If you are even remotely interested, feel free to
send me an e-mail.
Hi there A if you look at the share part of my site, a WordPress person can link/put up any of my articles on their site. Thanks for the comment ;-}
Thanks for the ideas – my wife and I just bought an old victorian with similar dimensions re: living room. We’re gravitating toward design 6 (for the front living room). How wide would you go with the couch? We’re thinking either 6 or 7 feet. Any thoughts? I guess the issue is whether 2.5 feet of space along either side of the couch (if we go with 7) is sufficient (since the room is 12 feet wide). Thx.
Hi there SC, I would say take newspapers and tape them together to make a 3 foot by 6 foot rectangle to represent the sofa, and then make another to represent the 3×7 foot sofa. Lay them on the floor in the room and see what they exactly look like in your space. If I had that kind of room, I would think about doing an armless sectional or a one armed sofa. Being soo short of a place to sit, without arms a person can sit in the middle. and at the ends of both ends, and the 6 or 7 feet of space would most likely sit 3 people. Don’t buy a love seat, as it really is a big chair for one person. Good luck with your project ;-}
Any suggestions for a narrow and short living room space? I have a family room that is 11′ wide and 14′ long with a fireplace along the full extent of the width of one wall. To make matters worse, the other width side wall is the entrance and I have a large picture window with a door to the outdoor patio. I’m driving myself crazy trying to find a solution. I’d like this room to be a real living room verses a front formal space, but there just isn’t enough room. Any thoughts? I can email you a picture.
Hi there Alexis, I’m right now too busy to address your comment, but will put some thought into it in a few weeks. Being Summer, I’m more interested in running around and being in the garden, than doing blog related things. This is just a hobby for me, and I don’t get paid for any of the information I provide, so I only put up things when I can. I will think about your space, and map it out, and it will hopefully become an article if I can come up with a few different ways of arranging the space. Not promising you anything, but I will see what I can do when I really look at the shape of the room. Sorry for not being able to help you at this time. For the time being, can’t you look at one of the 12×12 foot spaces that makes up half of the 12×24 foot room, and make an arrangement of furniture like what is shown in one of my drawings?
Dear Fred:
How nice to find your blog to give me some tools to think about creating my OWN style for my place. I appreciate your approach.
Would you give me some advice about the placement of living room chairs when I have an entire wall of glass (it is a sliding glass door situation) leading out to a balcony. My view is solely of a residential building across the street also with other large window panes. I already have a queen sized sofa anchoring one wall (not the glass wall).
I can’t decide whether to orient the chairs for the balcony view, or to turn them inwards into my living space (which also includes a pass through kitchen with a newly done backsplash, so I’m proud of it).
Would you have any thoughts on this situation?
Best regards,
Ansu
Hi there Ansuseye, I don’t think you have a problem at all. Have the chairs turned to face out to the view for a while (days, weeks, months, seasons, etc) and then when you get tired of that, turn them in toward the sofa. I don’t know where you live, climate wise, but during the warmer months of the year, you could/might face them toward the view, and during the colder times, if you have cold times, you could make a more cocoon type of inward arrangement. Happy 2015 to you, and I hope I helped you a little bit ;-}
Fred – you gave me the best advice for my small row house. You said stay away from love seats. We bought a condo sized couch instead, and it is great. Thank you.
Nancy Simpson
Toronto
Hi there Nancy, I really don’t know why the love seat was invented, but it seems to be an attractive piece of furniture for people who buy all of a room’s things at once from the same furniture store. You know that suite of three things, a sofa, loveseat and a matching chair. But for the people who want those things, I hope what they bought is just what makes them happy ;-}
For the person reading this comment to Nancy, this is why I try to get people to Forget the Loveseat and buy two Wing, Club or Occasional Chairs instead.
Fred, great post. My 1895 Victorian/Colonial Revival home has a similar issue, except that there are two bay windows and a slanted wall, making the room the shape of a letter “B.” The bottom of the B has a fireplace. The long straight side has doors at both ends, and the wall in between is the only place in the house my antique oak bookcase will fit. Arranging this room has been a challenge, to say the least. In recent years we have just given up and placed the flatscreen TV on a coffee table next to the bookcase, with sofa and chairs crammed into that half of the room to be near the fireplace and TV. While the problem cited in your post differs a bit, the ideas offer hope!
Hi there Fred! Thank you for pointing me in the direction of the article 12×20. I just painted my living room today, Ashley gray Benjamin Moore. I ordered a white electric fireplace (dimpled Essex) any advise on rug/couch/ drape pattern. I’m searching and searching. Just can’t be sure. Only if you have time, I will appreciate a reply.
I need a design for 24 feet 14 feet hotel room
Hi! I finally found some ideas with the exact room size but none of the drawings reflect my layout! Leaving my kitchen is me family room. It is a step down from the short side of the room with a half way also sharing the same common wall with one step down. Staring into the room is the fireplace on the opposite short wall. The wall to the left (long wall) is all wall….opposite long wall I have a typical width sliding glass door onto a patio that is used frequently. My problem is with the way the light flows into the room the tv (which is watched quite frequently by my husband) is on a slant on the right back corner next to the fireplace (he wants to watch tv and see the fire at the same time Ugh- my other problem is his awful recliner chair I feel is bigger than the room. It also has to be on a slant so it doesn’t stick off the wall and he can see the tv! Right behind his chair is the slider – and other suggestions I can possibly show him. Coming from someone might help my case to rearrange this room. Thanking you in advance. Victoria
Hi there Victoria, Happy 2016 to you! First of all, you never gave me any measurements, so I don’t know what the real size of the room is. Secondly, if the TV is on a slant, to the right of the fireplace on the short wall, why is the recliner not on the windowless long wall side of the room, facing the TV?. That is the place the chair probably should be. Not seeing your room, but thinking about the recliner, how about putting some kind of screen behind the recliner; which is fabric upholstered, or wooden. It would kind of create a nook where the chair is. Did you read my post Arranging furniture around a Fireplace in the corner of a Room, there might be something there that might inspire you. Sorry to not be of much help, my blog is intended to get people thinking, as I really can’t do people’s homework. Good luck with your decorating dilemma ;-}
Good day Mr Fred Gonsowski,
I ‘m not good at this sort of thing yet, i would like to try hard here to explain, yet, keep in mind please I really haven’t a clue about how to create interior beauty to empty blank super narrow (6 feet wide) space by super long (24 feet long) living/dining space that is connected to a kitchen (tiny) area that is in clear view to the living/dining empty blank space in the apartment.
All the walls are white. It is an apartment yet, is there any way to turn it into a calm, warm inviting space?
Where do I begin? the space is so very narrow and long and you can see that kitchen space in clear view. I mean, it so weird looking, I wish I could send you a picture the space. I don’t know what to do or where to begin.
Can you email me with ideas to turn the apartment
Hello, Mr. Gonsowski,
We have a 12 x 28 ft den. There are two sets of windows and a french door on one length of the room. The other length has a corner fireplace and a six foot door opening about 20 ft from the end of the room. The tv is mounted on the shokenscolarort wall near the fireplace. We have a piano, loveseat couch and two small recliners. How can I arrange this furnitre to best fit the room. Thank yiu. ML
Pingback: 6 foot wide living room - Your Home Ideas
I have always prided myself on my ability to cozy up my home and arrange my furniture in different ways just to keep it fresh. Here’s my problem….My family room is long, with French doors at one end and a closet next to them. If you’re standing in the French doors looking into the family room, to the left on that long side, there is a built in bookcase, a large opening going into my kitchen then a wall long enough to put my couch in front of , and 2 doors. Looking straight ahead, there’s a bedroom door to the left, a built in bookcase and a wall where my entertainment center sits, unless I put it in the corner which I often do. Looking to the right from the French doors is a long wall with a large window, a wall big enough for my couch (it’s a big couch, and long) another smaller window right past that then the corner area where my entertainment center sits. To the immediate right of the French doors is a wall just wide enough for a desk.
Hi there Tammy, have you looked at my post titled Floating (Arranging) furniture in a 20 foot long by 20 wide Living Room? There might be something there that will inspire you. Also look at Arranging Living Room furniture, so Sofas talk to Chairs, Like the Pros do. Also look at Arranging Furniture Twelve different ways in the Same Room. Think about counterbalancing furniture and making groupings of furniture in your room.
I love this! I have a 14 x 28 great room area that I really just didn’t know what to do with everything I’ve tried looked unsettling. But now I have some great ideas thank you so very much!
Hi there Jill, did you look at the Companion posts that follow the article? Look at the arranging furniture ones, especially Arranging living room furniture, so sofas talk to chairs like the Pros do. You might get something from that. Good luck with your decorating project.
