Add seating on the left or the right?

The stuff on the left can be moved.

The right side seems to have more room due to the pillar, so over there I guess. Also, we both need new TVs.

Won't be a problem for much longer.

I'm sort of leaning toward putting it on the left, because I don't want the treadmill to be too close behind the seats when it's opened up.

I'd go with the left as well, but if you have another place for the treadmill I'd go with the right, and angle the couch a bit so people don't have to turn their head a near 90 degrees to watch.

left, mainly because of the treadmill and pillar

Another vote for a new TV As for the seating it's kind of a toss up. I vote the right because it's a bit more in line with the home theatre setup. But then there's the post in the way.

Hehe, yea.

The right feels a little awkward... I would add seating on the left.

when your speakers are bigger than your TV, your doing it wrong.

I would put it to the left. An L type shape to the couches along with the pillar would give it the feeling of a wall being there making the area to the right a "walkway" into the separate "room"

 

[Candymancan21]

I would say the left

I like how everything is really nice except for teh super ghetto TV.

More seating on the right.

I would also make a table around that pillar and use that for some kind of drink holder / coffee table hybrid. Im thinking a smallish circle top with some L brackets for support against the pillar or something very low profile like that. Would give you a sort of end table between seating :beer:

this is exactly what I was going to post

Personally, I'd move everything. It looks like a small basement, and the setup it has now makes it seem even smaller. You could open up the room by putting the TV on that left wall, then the existing couch on the right wall. If you wanted additional seating, put against the back wall under the window.

But that's just me.

That's how it was before. I moved it because I didn't like the asymmetry (did not show the entire room).
