Been here since 1k, and yep Garret is the only person i rely on when it comes to ID❤

I love that you talk about sectionals. Other design channels always seem to look down on them

Hi Garrett. Always nice to see your videos. A tip for those who dont know...and that you can mention to spread the word. Most modern TVs have the function to work as art pieces or open fire illusions. They are really nice and have decorative frames as well. That way the TV is the focal point but not a big boring black thing in the way. I have always joked to my friends that my TV is modern art. I mean if Yves Klein marine blue painting can be sold for 9 million, my Black monochromatic thing on the wall can be expensive art..hihi

Found myself saying "Love that for you!" earlier today and immediately thought of Garrett. Here's hoping I pick up his fabulous sense of interior design as easily as I do his fabulous quips.

We can all recognise a well laid-out space when we see one but we don't always know why some things look better than others, making it hard to replicate in our own homes. Thanks for this 101 video. Simple but really helpful!

Not only do you look “Dapper” but I love your laugh and humour!…What an interesting topic today. Very important advice for everyone. We are not big TV watchers in this home. I would rather have a comfortable conversational space. When we move, I am hoping that we will have a finished basement where a TV setup can go, possibly with a sectional and round coffee table of course for entertaining guests who come to stay over…Thanks again Garrett, it’s always great to watch your videos 🤗❤️🇨🇦

Love the way you set up the artwork behind you. I am becoming excited about moving so I can implement what I am learning from you!

I lost it at the eye patch comment 😂. Haha but thanks for another GREAT video.

Eyepatches!!!! 🤣🤣(And the chuckle....)

I love this video!!! One of your best!! I am always so intrigued by diff living room layouts can really make your space feel So different!!

Happy Spring, All. ❤️🙏

*Combining "Leggy pieces with Grounded pieces* . Garrett, would love to see a video on the mix of leggy and grounded furniture pieces in different spaces. I currently have a good mix but I see spaces that lean to heavy one way or the other.

I loved your comment about the eye patch!😅

Hello 👋 I needed this in my life! I have been struggling with my living room lay out since, I moved into my home Thank you! 😊

My rectangle living room is right at the entrance (no space to create separate area for front entrance) of our standard 1960's track home. Only our dog uses the living room for her exclusive hangout space and to see who is coming to our home. No room for table but do have sofa on one side and seating bench with never used piano (not my idea).

A masterclass as always, Prof LeChic: the whats and the whys fully explained and illustrated. And a special thank you for including a LR layout for us apartment dwellers with limited space. Also, love your personal style - clothes, jewelry -- that je ne sais quoi. Your videos are such a treat in every way.

You can totally pull off that blazer (I don't think I could). Looking smart, Garrett! Nice vid. 😉👍

So nice to find a LeChic video when I stopped for a break from cleaning. Also a great watch.

Lovely video Garrett, who's doing it like you! :)

After MUCH sketching, and shifting furniture around, I finally found a good solution for our long and narrow living room with a corner fireplace- and it is pretty much the last one you suggested! I refuse to put my tv above my fireplace, so I had to consider my media console, as well as a large window with a baseboard heater under it. Thanks for this video! With a few tweaks I think it will work well 😊

Great content enjoyed watching & you are looking really smart today! I liked that you took into consideration that some of us live in apartments. Loved your art 🖼️ & flowers 💐 Have a great day 🤩

Love the sofa tip! I have a sofa that is long enough for me to lay down on, but compact enough to work in my smaller living space. I would love to hear your thoughts on how these different layouts work with different styles of furniture.

Great video. As always, thanks for all the great ideas and information.

Ok, the square and half square layout (my living room is square) is helping me the most. Garrett, I wish you'd offer a service where for a flat fee, we could send 4-5 photos of our living room to you and you'd give us 1-2 different layouts for our specific room and furniture. :) Like you have time to do this, but it sure would be nice.

would love to see a video about layouts in an open floor plan living room / kitchen situation !

Eye patches- haha! My living room is set up the way that you suggest. It also is the only way that our furniture works with the fireplace & tv. Thanks for the lovely video!

I have been waiting for this one!😅

You validated my idea of my matching sofa and chair. Other designers seem to dislike matching furniture. Your video today, calmed me about this. Thanks!

Another great video Garrett. And you are looking dapper in that blazer.😊

Can you please please make a video of tv placement with windows!! I have a rectangular living/dining area with sliding glass doors in both sections and a chimney in between the sliding doors. I have trying to decide where to hang a tv and what size to buy?? Over the chimney, on the opposite wall of sliding glass doors? Then there’s glare, 😢… please please share your wisdom … for us clueless souls!!

A very good Morning Garrett, Quiet a refreshing episode, thank you!! It gives idea of various permutations and combinations, as personally I would like to change the living room set up once in 2 years atleast😋 You have a wonderful week ahead..xx

Thanks! This video helps homeowners decide which layout they’ll be doing in their new home.

This is very helpful we are planning our main floor renovation in a small century home . Living room dining room and kitchen wow! Lot to think about.

I want to know how the people in the second photo even attempt to watch that TV. YIKES!

4:36 - Always thinking of others and so practical! 🤣

Excellent video and quite timely

Great information. Loved that exquisite side board behind you.

We have two "condo" couches at right angles to each other taking up two sides of a conversation square. Then there is a swivel, reclining chair on the third side but next to the couch not on the far corner of the square. Two condo couches still seat 3 people each but at 7ft long, they do not take up as much space as a regular 8ft sofa - love them. The fourth side has the fireplace with TV above. I really dislike TVs beside a fireplace. Round coffee table in the middle (I have nailed my shins on too many rectangular or square ones to ever want those again), the square grouping is enter-able on the two sides by the fireplace wall with a walkway behind all three sides and most definitely a large rug, I think its 9x12.

We have a narrow living room with the fireplace at the end. We also have awkwardly placed doors in the room which we can't move. I lost the TV over the mantle battle but am used to it now. Our couch is parallel to the fireplace and our two chairs are opposite the fireplace. Our living room isn't very large so we don't have a coffee table but have tables by all of the seating so people have a place to put drinks or anything else. A wonderfully informative video as usual. Thank you!

Thank you for the great video!

Yes I have a sectional and have thought I needed an accent chair, also a round coffee table yaaay

Great video. I'd love to see you show us the steps, ie chasing paint (with current colors or if buying new), then the trail of where t place the rug, the tv etc. Then show us how you add that 3rd dimension, the books, flowers, arts etc. Great video!

I use small marble side tables that are easy to move around so if a chair is not near the coffee table, guests have a place to put their drink. They sell these tables at Home Goods.

I just discovered you and subscribed....I also love that you offer various layout ideas and share your knowledge and expertise. I must compliment your presentation style - so clear, professional and not sassy! Have fun!

Thanks! This helped me decide which layout we’ll be doing on our new home ❤

I love love love my sectional and square coffee table. Understand the general appeal of the round though... we have a 9' by 9' couch that perfectly squares with our square table. Love layout videos! Would love to see an entry or bedroom version.

Best moment 4:51

I love your sectional, and the coffee table

I love the parallel with the fireplace 🎉

So thrilled I found you. Thanks for everything. Love the way you explain reasons for what instead of just design.

I’m new to this channel, and I have to say that this is one of the most useful, practical design videos I’ve seen in a while. Thank you!

u look stunning in this! great video :)

Re-watching and saving to my YT library!

I had four boys and someone gave me a coffee table when I still had only two little boys. It lasted ONE whole day before one of them knocked his head pretty good. Finally, in my thirties, I was able to have a coffee table without worry. 😁✌

I just can’t stomach the tv above the fireplace ever. There, I said it because nobody ever says it! 😉

LOVE your informative, creative and professional presentations, such a delight after trawling through a ton of 'other' stuff. So it seems petty to mention one tiny personal gripe: do you HAVE to say "Let's get into the video!" ? I'm subscribing, thanks so much for your work!

Thank you Garrett very helpful indeed❤

Great pic for inspiration.

I'm getting a fireplace DVD so my tv is a more elwgant focal point. I live in an apartment!😊

Great video! Keep showing more layouts. I don’t know what to do with my awkward open space living room.

1st is that fresh flowers behind u? Beautiful arrangement even if fake😊. 2nd watching your vid, when talking about full square..I looked at mine and said it looks like a half square. Then u SAID “Half square “ 😂, I never knew it even had a term for it. Love your vids cuz I always learn something!

100% round coffee table with a sectional! I have kids and a dog I love that our coffee table is round because they run/walk in this area alot!

This is so helpful, thanks so much!

My living room is like this presently

Cute humor

No joke, I don’t even think Garrett could tackle my floor plan. It’s a huge square room- sounds easy, right? Yah, not so much. It has four entrances and exits. It’s so jacked up, they quit offering the layout- right after my condo was built in 2003. I’m the only one out of the other 40-50 killer units who’s stuck with this layout. I’ve hired a few top notch designers. While they all gave ideas, they were all simultaneously stumped on how to make the area look cool, while still being functional. Yes, it’s that bad. One very experienced designer flat out said, “This floor plan should be a reality TV competition for designers. I’ve never seen anything like it.” So that’s been fun to deal with for 20 years.🙄

Love your ideas Garrett, really so helpful and classy! Can you please suggest the layout of sofa for a rectangular living room that has a fireplace on one side and sliding doors on the other side? TIA

I can’t wait to try out new decor in a new place. The place I live in currently is so small in the kitchen/living room. My TV is LITERALLY next to my fridge and there’s hardly any options to move things around 😓 maybe I can get rid of one couch 😭

You could design your own line of first aid products for furniture related injuries 😂

❤

I have one sofa and one matching chair, but one unmatched chair (in a small room). The unmatched chair does not to fit in visually. I will use the idea from your video to use the same throw/pillows on Both chairs. (thank you so much for that great idea,). Any other suggestions for that unmatched chair, so it blends in better with the sofa and other chair ?

I didn't see the link to the eye patches!

Thank you for the tips! What about rounded sofas or sectionals? Love the Four Hands Liam rounded sectional in Crescent Dover but can't figure out how that would work in an open concept square living room. That has no wall to ancor it against. Any tips or is that just a bad idea?

In my family room the tv is on one wall and the fireplace is opposite on the other wall. It is very difficult to place furniture in this room.

OMG 😮 is that a spilt glass of RED wine at 2.30 sec 😮 disaster!!!!

So many videos show all beige, kinda dead looking. Where can someone add color and what shade?

I am not crazy about the sofa with one end being a chaise. It seems awkward.

Hmmm- Erte +
