DESIGN TIPS FOR FURNITURE PLACEMENT | HOW TO PLACE FURNITURE IN A SMALL AREA 

For those of you who missed it; and comment how you don't like the yellow paint. I am definitely painting this room ( like I said in the video)! It was done like 10 years ago! Just finding the time to do it, now that's a different story! I will keep you updated on the progress over on Instagram! 💛

I love that you said “ lets pretend “ that the rug is in the right place … l was speaking to my Mum a couple of weeks ago, and l asked her what she had been doing and she said that she was “ pretending “ to do her vacuuming … l laughed for hours !! … 🤣🤣🤣

Leslie you are a joy to watch, you are always so pleasant and always smiling I feel happy watching your videos.Thank You .

I love to decorate bottom shelves with folded blankets, throws & pillows. ESPECIALLY in a family room. I think decorating can get too busy on shelves, and pretty linens really help with that and have so much functionality.

I can't wait to see what you will do once you paint. Also, just a thought but could you put the big speaker that's on the floor over by the the side of the small couch? At least it would hide it and you could center the entertainment unit. :)

Wow, Two Hercules in da house!! Also, cute outfit. 😊

Of course love all that you do 💕 Our neurologist has confirmed Levy Body diagnosis for my hubby. I sent you an email but I know you probably get tons. Continuing to pray for y’all and your daughter. Hope she’s doing well ! Robin

The sofa and love seat could be switched, This would solve the problem of table for the longer sofa and the love seat in the new position would allow for side tables on either side.

Girl do you ever rest?My goodness you are a busy bee. I loved how everything turned out. Enjoy your weekend.

I thought you put the sofa table behind the sofa to give people who sit on the sofa a place to sit their drinks. There's no space for that after the decorations were placed on it.

Hmmmm.... you gave me some ideas with that shutter. I could get one and use it in my spare room I'm in the process of getting set up for my quiet place and a spot for the grandkids to spend the night. I love how you decorated the basement.

Leslie, I love what you did with a small room. I feel you kind of did this because I told you I had a small house and you told me all the things I could do with a small house.💕 Thank you so much for doing this.🤗🥰

Hahaha...your "small space" is bigger than most people's main living room in the UK.

This is perfect timing for me. I have the same issues with my living room. The problem for me is that my hubby is 6 ft. 3 and wants big furniture. So my space actually seems smaller than it is. Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it. Lol

Could you put the speaker on the top left of the entertainment center, laying it on its side, so that you can then slide the entire unit over to the left?

Love your energy! You can't imagine how much this video helped me! A million thank yous beautiful lady! 🙂

I absolutely LOVE the relationship you and Jason have! So pure and sweet. Great video thanks for all the tips!

Your enthusiasm always makes me smile. I love that you shop from your house stash 😂. Our basement is the same way, we are empty-nesters and use the family room upstairs all the time. I have used some of the room and made it into a craft area which can easily become cluttered. I laughed when I saw this video because this is on my to do list this morning ,, to tackle cleaning up that room. 🤣🤣❤️🤣

So many good ideas for those "problem" areas! And Jason just makes our day. Blessings to you!!

Yours turned out great, but Please tell me what to do if you have a walk through living room...small with no wall to put your furniture up against, and to make it harder....the fireplace is in the corner. Ugh. I know this is an older video, bit I watch abd re-watch your videos all the time. No one ever talks about walk through living rooms. I'm literally pulling my hair out. Imagining where your wall is in the basement is where you walk out onto the deck, so I don't want to put my main sofa there or do I ??? Gosh I need help. We're in the middle of ripping our carpet put and putting in wood floors. But then what??? I'm so stuck.

I would switch the small couch with the chairs. The sm couch sticks out too far in front of the entertainment ctr. Love the pannel cover. Lightweight, easy to remove and put back up

Ahh, looks good. Great job but where was you when I purchased a huge L shape sectional in my small living room lol😂

I love it. I just knew you were gonna put family beach pictures on the shutter covering the electric box. That would be so cool. Great job.

Thank you so much for this video. I live in a town house and though is not small my livingroom is for all the things I had. I downsides but I never can get that inviting, pretty, homey look I like. I learned how to in this video. I will try it. Thank you 💖

I love blue and yellow together! Those armless chairs are adorable!

To me it looks like peoples necks would hurt trying to watch TV except for the couch facing the TV

This video really is helpful thank you so much

As always love it ! You definitely have a gift.Big hugs from I m Blue Springs. 🤗. Good to see Mr.Muscle💪😃

I would have said you needed a bigger coffee table. That would solve the sidetable problem. The path from the door to the patio can still work when no one is seated and then when people are they can go around the sofa.

Hiya. Came across your channel. Nice episode. You are honest, have a bubbely personality and some of the tips are great and really helpful. The only down on this video and I find it a regular theme with American videos is that in Europe the sizes are even smaller. Your small size is our king size. As much as we would like to fit those things it is just not possible. But please keep given out the nice tips that you are. I enjoyed overall watching it and definitely have subscribed. Thank you.

As you were looking for a table for the couch I was thinking about one of those smallish tables where the legs slides under the couch. That would give at least 2 on the couch a place for beverages and snacks.

The tv drives me crazy too, I have to have things balanced

I enjoyed watching you work through this space and all your helpful hints. And Jason’s contribution at the end 😅👍 y’all are so cute 🥰

Hi Leslie and Jason, love your basement, whew your house is roomy, love you guys! Kim❤️

I just love your style. Thanks for all your tips. You and Jason always make laugh. I have been saving toilet paper rolls. TFS

I like your room. But I am really glad you are painting the walls. Not sure why you made them yellow. It must have been a thing. Your chairs are darling. Hope your daughter is doing well with baby! bye for now. Joyce

Just a suggestion, but if it were me, I would put your coffee table in front of your large sofa and then some end tables at the love seat. But I would use a large square coffee table, NOT too large but a square table as then people at the love seat could also use it too. Bring the sofa in more so it doesn't feel so far back. Cut back on your yellow accessories. It is always fun to rearrange, I have been doing it for over 50 years.

Very cute room with cute colors. Have you ever thought of a silver door kick plate to add to that door? I know they are on indoor doors sometimes and it kinda helps them to not look so plain. You could also add a little wreath, or something, but I think the kick plate would be enough

Great video! You could also print out a picture of the room, and put a clear dry erase sheet over the top. That way, you can mark up different layouts without having to print a new sheet each time.

Love decorating small and cozy. It is a challenge, learn to use pieces of furniture in balance with the size of the room. Love those two chairs so cute!

Great tip about the carpet. I bought one too small and now I regret it but honestly, I live alone and only have a friend or two come over once in a while. But next time I will be buying a better sized rug. I love how cute it is down there! Can you move the speaker behind the tv!?

LOVE those armless chairs! Where did you get them? beautiful pattern!

Would you please humor an old lady for a moment? I think you should put the entertainment center on the wall where the missing molding is and the two chairs where the sofa now is. You can then put the sofa where the entertainment center was and the love seat where you now have the two chairs. With that bulkhead above it I think your entertainment center would look built in and you could put that wicker table behind the love seat. I'm just seeing it in my mind's eye lol.

Move that speaker up high.

I actually love yellow! Your room is so bright and fresh looking!!!

Watching while I have Covid. It’s 6/9/22. So, to make myself well better, I’m going to Have a marathon day with all your videos watching the ones I’ve already seen again. Not only do I like your style and how you decorate but you are so warm and welcoming and funny and cute and sweet and you and Jason together are Awesome! Thank you for making people feel better even if you don’t know them.

The yellow walls work in this room.

Looks awesome! (as usual 😊) Can't wait to see what paint colors you choose!❤😊

It's amazing how much bigger your room looks with the rug and furniture placement.

I love your shoes. I buy them because they are light weight, easy-on, and don't cost a fortune!😀

Have you thought of moving the wall unit to the other wall?where the love seat is. .? Looks good.❣️ The dang doors. Right ?

I watch every video I can find on small homes, rooms and spaces. I have a bigger or rather smaller problem. My whole main living area is smaller than the rug and its a living/dining/office room.

Thanks for doing a small space. My home is small and I enjoyed watching this.

Looks amazing and love your beautiful backyard 🤗💕

First of all, let me say I am jealous of your gorgeous tan. I can't be out in the sun much anymore. And your shirt is so cute!!! LOVE all the decorating ideas. I'm going to have to start watching your videos in the mornings. I watch at night and lie awake with all kinds of ideas for my home. Then the next day, I'm too tired to execute my plans. 😆

Hi!! Leslie i have lived watching u and u hursband!! U have saved ne , I have bewn watching u and JasonsLBD. I gave just been diagnosed listening to you to talk and watching you clean and straighten and make things pretty has just made me very happy. Just want to thank you for being there this is the first RU-vid channel I've ever watched and needless to say you are my favorite I look forward to you off and on all day God bless you both

In my house how i want it would not matter they will rearrange it so that the most comfortable seat must be directly in front of the tv. They prefer watching tv in full view to keep from having a crick in their neck in silence. It is like musical chairs in my house.

I love that shutter idea to hide the warts!!!! Great video as always xoxoxo

If your keeping it real and mention your not addressing the flood damage 😅the why bring it up😅

I love this video. Thank you for sharing this. It’s very helpful.

Can entertainment center be moved WHERE sofa is like what you did also

Keep these type of videos coming!! ❤

If the sofa table is for drinks, your decor defeats the purpose. I agree, the table is way too small

My magic distance between the couch and the coffee table is - the width of my vacuum!

Not sure what kind of space you have however I’m thinking that the couch could go where the chairs are then move chairs aligned with the door line

I need somewhere to putt my glass. You are right.it is too small.

Candles behind a couch....long hair might be a problem...

I love the shudder idea for the fuse box.

Oubliez les fleurs en tissu ou en plastique et optez pour des plantes naturelles. C'est quand même plus joli, à moins de ne pas avoir le temps de les soigner😢

Enjoyed your video. Is your flooring tile that looks like wood? I just bought a house that has an unfinished basement and a month after moving in a heavy rain got in, so I was thinking either tile or water proof vinyl that looks like wood. Any suggestions would be helpful.

It was so good to see Jason. The room looks great.

Great ideas! Especially about the sofa placement. Thanks!!!👏👏👏💜

I would love for my drop ceiling to look like yours. Great video.❤️

This was very helpful!😊 Thanks

Where are the people sitting on that couch gonna put their drinks now?

Using Dawn soap in bottle of water to clean windows n glass is the best n cheaper🎃

It is nice but u upload that table now no place for ur guess to put anything on top so still no table for that sofa

Thinking of you all hope your all ok love from ENGLAND

whats about the lack wall moulding?

How about a cute lamp, for a bit if light on sofa table, all looks good

I wish you could come and do a makeover in my home!!😃😃

You could spay/ paint the table that is behind that sofa

Your content is always so informative.

I took the design test and I’m 33% each Bohemian, coastal and farmhouse.

Funny you mention Kin Woven. You remind me of Rebecca. Love you guys...

What would you do in a 5 x 11 small space?

The dishwasher should not be positioned such that it can leak water onto an electrical panel! That’s not safe.

I just love your channel, you always make me smile…. Love to you and hubby…. X

Put your speaker on the other side of the white unit.

Put the speaker on the other end, then it will be more even.

I really enjoyed your video. My daughter is trying to figure out how to decorate and set up her living room in an attic apt. The living is quite small. So this will be very helpful. Thanks for sharing

I would switch the love seat with the two chairs.

So, I'm new to your channel and I am loving it! Fun fact that I noticed, you use a lot of large beads in your arrangements! Which I love, but have not seen before in American home decor! Are you Irish? If you have ever been to Ireland and have visited any of the Irish cemeteries, some of the Irish Traveler gravesites tend to be draped with VERY LARGE rosary beads on the headstones. If you happen to look this up on the internet, you'd be hard pressed to find images of this. But having family in Ireland, I always visit the cemeteries where my family members are buried when I go there and thats the only place I have seen the large rosaries and beads before. I have taken pictures of it because it was so intriguing to see. Guess I need to get out more to the craft shops here in America because it appears it might be a new trend. Might need to start incorporating large beads into my abode to make it more "charming!" :-)

Shutter idea is genius!! Thanks for the good video again!!

just found you and i really like it

I hear ya girl & feel ur frustration bout painting walls d’stairs w/all other day 2 day stuff on ur 2 do list!! LoL!! Here waiting 2 c what’s coming n future w/that room!!🙏🏼💐

Is the flooring in this room hardwood look ceramic tile? I'm thinking of putting that type of flooring throughout my home. My husband has young onset alzheimer's and nolonger always remembers how to use a bathroom. I need flooring that's easy to clean and durable. Do you like the ceramic tile flooring?

I like your space as it is smallish. I got a couple ideas to try.. My space is smaller and I don't have alot of wall space. I rent an apartment. The entrance door is on one wall. Another wall has an 109" wide window with a wall ac to the left of that. Another wall is about half wide as it's a wide entrance to the kitchen/hallway. The 4th wall is where the love seat is and has space for 2 end tables. It's been hard trying to but it together. Plus I have a very small budget to work with. The couch is anchored with a rug. Right now that's about it. A chair is on backorder and I'm looking for a used coffee table. This has been the hardest space to style ever for me. But thanks for your ideas. Love watching you.

Hope no one on the couch wants to set a drink down.

Your furniture pieces are too big and bulky for your small space. The light colored rug is good to ground the area but the entertainment center, sofas and walls gotta go. Just a suggestion.
