In this space, we wanted to leave walking room to the left and right of the sofa AND fill the empty space to the left and right of the visual focal point- the fireplace! To accomplish that, my idea was to put what would normally be side tables for the sofa in the empty space along the wall instead! This allows for visual interest while still having walking space, extra storage in the drawers & a nice spot for living room lamps all while being out of the way! Meanwhile, the ottoman with the serving tray can serve as another spot to place drinks/snacks while lounging! What do you think?! LTKSeasonal LTKHome LTKxWayfair
