How to I arrange big furniture in a small living space?
Got new furniture (over sized couch, love seat and chair that is the size of a normal love seat) and I might of messed up the scale, I like it and can't return it anyhow. So how do I make it work for the smaller size of my living space?
Living room:
entertainment center
end table
square upholstered chair
big ol' couch I just got
floor lamp
table top lamp
coffee table
leather covered chest
Front room:
desk
shelf
table for printer
end table
big love seat
big chair
family heirloom rocking chair
lamp
ficus tree (live)
bentwood chair that was left over from my old furniture
Would it help the size by removing the feet on the new stuff? It has these screw on feet that are keeping it almost six inches off the floor my son drove his remote control car under the couch it's that high. Is it safe to remove the feet like will it break or wreck my flooring?
Gosh I need some help here!

It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing the space. Consider your transit paths through the room and the activities you do in the space. When you get new pieces, it is not uncommon to let some of the older ones go. Can the leather covered chest, for example, become the coffee table or the printer table? Just because things were in the LR before does not mean they cannot be move to another part of the house or completely out of the house.
Spend some time watching HGTV and you will get ideas about room arrangement.

I would sell your oversized pieces on the net- they may be perfect for someone else- and start again. Take your room measurements with you when you shop next time and give your son more room to play.Try and buy pieces which can serve double use- for instance ottomans which can serve as storage, coffee tables and footrests.Have fun!
