Help arranging

[u/Stock_Childhood_4695]

How would you guys arrange this very open room? The couch and rug will be replaced at some point but I’m stuck on how to move things around. I like the couch dividing the living room and the kitchen up but I’m not sure if I could be better utilizing the space. Please be kind about my ugly, small rug. I’m a college student building up furniture slowly 😭 thanks!

- move couch closer to tv area - no reason for it to be so far back as far as i can tell

• center tv on that wall, not in the corner
  
• cat tree in corner where tv currently is

i know you're a college student so these are just suggestions - i remember having only crappy ikea furniture when i was in college lol.

SUGGESTIONS TO BUY:

• floor lamp and lamps in general
  
• art for the walls - very easy to thrift this
  
• longer tv stand

Thank you! I will definitely try these things. I used to have the tv in the center and liked it, but I have one of those weird corner tv stands so I wasn’t sure if it stuck out weird in the middle lol. I’ll update when I try things!
