We are looking into buying a home with a corner fireplace in the family room. We'd like to put our entertainment center in there as well. I'm just not sure how to arrange our furniture to enjoy the beautiful fireplace, yet still make sense for watching TV. It seems they can't both be the focal point, so I'm stumped. Any ideas or links to suggested furniture layouts would be appreciated, thank you.

Fireplace.... That would get my vote for the focal point. Keep the entertainment center outta there. You just can't have 2 focal points in one room because one will detract from the other. And since you can't move the fireplace, it's a no-brainer...
Have you thought about moving the entertainment center outta the living room and into the family room or den or basement? You'll be surprised how much time you actually spend in front of the fireplace....

Put the entertainment unit in the opposite corner. Arrange the furniture so that you have two areas, if possible - one focusing on the fireplace, on focusing on the TV.

My husband is a builder, and a common solution is to put the TV over the fireplace. This doesn't necessarily require a plasma. He often builds a simple cabinet over the fireplace for a regular television, often with space for the DVD player, too.

Is there any way that you can hide the tv behind a panel or within a cabinet, over top of the fireplace? I have seen that before on tv. It would reduce clutter and maintain the focal area - just depends on whether you have one of those plasma tvs I guess.
Cheers!

Put entertainment center along back wall next to fireplace. then arrange the sofa and loveseat in an L shape so that you can easily see both from all the seats.
