AWKWARD SPACES - L-Shaped Rooms (Space Planning Tips!)

AWKWARD SPACES - L-Shaped Rooms (Space Planning Tips!)
Welcome back to the Awkward Space Series. We are continuing the series with L-shaped rooms- mostly for open concept plans where one space melds right into the next. Most of the comments I received are primarily to address the layout and furniture plan. In this video I will be focusing on finding creative solutions for the following L-shaped spaces below.
Do you have any awkward spaces you would like for me to address in this series? Comment below!

I have watched a lot of interior design videos but you are the best one I’ve found that teaches principles that I can adapt to my own spaces. These feel like a little class! Thanks so much for this kind of content; I’m learning so much.

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching Katherine! Hope it feels more like a conversation than a lecture 😆

[@jandelricci637]

Julie, I love your channel and have learned from your helpful tips. The only thing I’ve notice that I think is not quite the reality for most of your viewers, is that you mostly show huge, multi-million dollar homes as examples for your helpful tips. I would like to see you address decor problems and helpful tips using more modest homes and rooms, where I think the majority of your viewers can better relate. Just my two cents worth. The pictures are stunning, but don’t reflect the reality of most people.

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching Jan! I have a small space series coming up to help you better visualize the possibilities! Hope you’ll stay tuned 🙏🏻☺️

[@soshesays2444]

[@jayatinaswa4244]

Hi Julie, thank you for making this awkward solution series. It’s been so helpful for first time home buyer like me who is trying to update our first home. My husband and I diligently watch your channel everyday. I have a unique problem with my kitchen layout redesign. I have a u shaped kitchen sitting in the middle of a good size breakfast room and formal dining room and separated from living room by a load bearing wall. Both breakfast room and dining room open up to front and back patio respectively by a sliding patio door. I am thinking of ideas of how I could open the layout a bit without spending a ton. I believe removing load bearing wall will be too expensive and I will loose any definition as the whole area will become one open space. I am considering just knocking off the wall between kitchen and dining room and keep the living room separate. That ways it will be a u shape kitchen with 2 open peninsula on each end. However I was unable to find any pictures of such layout for inspiration. Any suggestions/advice on this will be much appreciated. Thank you.

[@JulieKhuu]

[@5jgil-ah484]

Hi Julie. I’m loving your videos especially the ones about awkward spaces. 😃 my house has also a lot of awkward spaces, and one is the basement. It’s not a big space, and there’s a load bearing pole smacked in the middle which makes it hard to work around. I’d really appreciate any ideas you could give to decorate the space. Thanks. God bless.🤗

[@JulieKhuu]

Anchoring a portion of your living space would look best against this pole. Think about creating a seating group where the pole would be used in place of an end table and back your furniture up to it

Hi Julie, I love your videos!! Can you recommend a reading nook space in the living room? It seems awkward to have an additional couch next to living sofas.

[@JulieKhuu]

Nothing wrong with that Estelle. Just anchor the seat against a wall and angle the orientation to face the seating group. Add a small side table for functionality 👍🏻

[@dragonweengs4010]

We’re looking into buying a condo/townhouse and I noticed how low the ceilings are in our less than $500K price point in Southern CA. The rooms are small and kitchens are small. I was wondering how to paint it so the ceiling doesn’t feel so small and trying to minimize furniture & maximize storage. Also I would like to incorporate the small balconies or tiny outside space (I really would like to do something fun like Moroccan inspired in that space) 😊 Thanks

[@JulieKhuu]

I’m working on a balcony styling video now (so many requests!) Paint walls and ceilings the same color to visually make small spaces seem bigger. Top designer trick 👍🏻 Check out my Dream Space series for more tips on how to maximize space!

[@Elemiriel]

We are in contract for a house with an L shape, which I have dealt with before, but this one is 3 times bigger than anything I had in the past! So thank you for these tips! It seems to be one of the few things left that most interior design gurus do not address!

Hi Julie i just discovered your channel and i am in love. I started watching the awkward space series hope to get a solution to styling my new home. Have you ever thought about doing a series where persons can send in their awkward spaces and you can give advice on how to style. I love your style! Watching from Trinidad and Tobago.

[@mrsl.8506]

My new home is a town house and the living room is really small and has windows on each wall then there's a stair rail. I wish i can see you style something like this. I'm not sure where to position the couch if i should put it against the stair rail or if i should put it against the windows. And even the tv i'm not sure where to place it wether i should place it on the wall or on a tv stand. There's not much wall space.

Hi Julie, I noticed a lot of your example photos have lamps on tables that flank couches not against a wall. How do you run the cords for these lamps without a tripping hazard? I’m moving to a condo and would like to put our loveseat ‘floating’ as you say, but need lamps on either side for reading. How do I accomplish is without the cord hazards? I can’t find battery operated ones!

[@JulieKhuu]

My experience is that these spaces have outlets on the floor in the middle of the room (custom homes). But of course we all don’t have those conditions, so if you don’t- best if you locate the lamps nearby a wall Christina. Safety first! 👍🏻

Hi Julie, thank you very much for this video. I am left with a question :) In my L shaped room when sitting at the dinning table, I am looking at the back of a large couch. There is no way to turn the sofa another way because it's already facing focal points I've seen this also in this video. But looking at the back of our couch when sitting at the dinning table has become so boring and frustrating. So my question is do you have any idea how to decorate the back of a couch so that we are looking at something nice and beautiful?

On the left side of that blank wall is a staircase and on the right side of that blank wall is another wall with two sets of 5’*7’windows. I want to have fireplace and a tv on this blank wall! Do I have to leave a long door sized window on right side to balance it or there is another way? Please help

Think about where the living room seating group will go and center the fireplace/ TV to the seating group. No need to add another opening to balance the space. The seating group will visually do that for you. 👍🏻

My house has an entry in the middle with living and dining spaces on each side of the L--about the same size, but with the windows in the dining room.

Sectionals are never used in their entirety....mine at parties usually has a max of three people talking on it two side by side and a third on the short piece. What they ARE.great for are rwo people stretching their legs out to read, talk or sometimes watch TV...if you give lots of parties for adults, as friends of mine to have lots of individual chairs around a low round table..they can seat 8 to 10 people around theirs.

Does anyone know where I can find a chair like the blue ones shown at 9:37?

[@ktay2124]

CB2?

[@JulieKhuu]

Take a screenshot and upload it onto Pinterest Jordan. It will find you the exact or similar items to purchase directly

@@JulieKhuu thank you!

What if the fireplace and tv are adjacent to the main door?

[@JulieKhuu]

Then you can place the seating group facing all three. That would open up the space upon entering as well Emily, good move 👍🏻

I font have tv, or fire place so how do i place furniture in L shape room

[@JulieKhuu]

However you need for conversation or the primary function. I have a few videos on furniture placement, check out my Dream Space series and 4 ways to maximize your living room layout Vaishali. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

@@JulieKhuu oh thanks julie! sure i will

[@suzannebrunelle-xp6oy]

HUGE rooms are easy, please try the same L shape but small appartements, totally different problems. Sofa can go only alonside ONE wall and there is no wall in front to put the tv on etc...

I have a 10-episode small space series that might be more what you’re looking for Suzanne 👍

Awkward kitchen/living room & dining room combine. I have a entry way that is smacked into my kitchen. So when you walk in bam refrigerator. Then walking along, bam living room that I made it into a dining room as well. A pic will be better to describe. Please help.

[@JulieKhuu]

Check out my videos on awkward entryways and open concept layouts Nicole. Tons of inspiration that may help guide you 👍🏻

[@CMHMom23]

Anyone only have their kitchen and living room together. Without the dining area?

[@JulieKhuu]

Same rules may apply C. Create a natural passage for clearance 36” min and the rest you can use as living space to place furniture

[@viverlysumlin7433]

Nobody is answering me what to do with that ugly back door in my dining room

[@JulieKhuu]

If you’re trying to conceal it, paint it the same color as your walls. You may also hide it behind wall to wall drapery, out of sight, but still functional Viverly
