Very long and open living/dinning room area!!
Our house was built in the 1950's and has under gone a few renovations before we purchased. We have a very long living room as soon as you enter in the house. We want it to feel warm and cozy, and avoid a bowling alley feel. We are in the process of purchasing furniture, but are having trouble b/c we don't really know how to set the floor plan. Any ideas on layout would be helpful.
dimensions of the area are 11'4x 25'
wall where the entrance is 5'3 on the right 4,9 on the left
left wall where the hallway is 10'9 (hallway) 10'9 after that
far wall(s) 4'7 hallway to dining room is 6'1, then 2'6
also roof half of it is on exposed beams and the other is not.

Couple of questions - are you painting the walls? Do you have it in your budget to take out at least some of the current floor (not that you need to, just wondering) or any other structural changes? The door is the front door? Do you have any other furniture, art or accessories currently that you would like to work into the room?
There's another discussion w/a house w/a similar floor and room. I'll try to find that again to see how the owner ended up there.
I'll be back!!

Then warm up the living room area with a very large rug. Perhaps in a long wool shag. Pull the sofa forward a least 3 feet towards the tv and be sure the front legs are on the rug. A large round rattan ottoman serving as a coffee table would also add warmth and give you a place to put your feet up!
In the corner behind sofa add a basket with tall branches. On the front door side of sofa put a floor lamp and a modern armless chair. Add large black and white photography (of bike wheels?) to the wall behind sofa.
The second idea is to have a storage closet to the right as you come in through the front door with bi-folds. No aperture on option 2 as I imagine a large screen TV could be placed on this wall facing into the lounge.
Either way, create cosiness and warmth with lamps, floor rugs and throws.
I hope this is helpful-

Yes, we are repainting all the walls into shades of gray????????
We are open to changing the floor and some structural changes, but b/c the house is so old we are being very cautious b/c changes often come with unexpected cost.
We recently made a few purchased a couch at West Elm (Lomier sectional), along with a coffee and console table. Out side of the coat rack all other furniture is moving to my husbands "man cave".
Yes, that is the front door.
As soon as we get the furniture in I will upload some more photos.
