Transitional Living Room Design
The brief
The client wanted comfortable television viewing and space to entertain, without making the large television the room’s focal point. It needed to sit parallel to the main sofa, and the Edinburgh Press had to be incorporated into the design.

- Edinburgh
- Room type:
- Living rooms
The layout
The sofa and armchairs sit centrally near the fireplace rather than against the walls. Placing a low-backed sofa with its back to the window helps define the seating while keeping the room open to daylight. The television is wall-mounted where it is less visible from the entrance.
Developing the design
Keeping the Edinburgh Press useful
Discreet doors within the wall panelling preserve access to the Edinburgh Press. The storage remains usable without breaking up the room’s detailing.
A quieter place beside the window
The central seating arrangement leaves room for an armchair and side table beside the window. This creates a separate place for reading or morning coffee, alongside the main conversation area.
