Why not. I turned my family room (same size as the living room) into my sewing room and I love it. You should use your space to its best advantage, no matter what it was originally intended for.

I would def move to the larger room! You might as well enjoy it rather than let it sit unused. It is your house, do what you suits you best. Anyone doesn't approve or like it, if they do not pay for it, tell them it is your business. Life is short dear so enjoy it to the fullest.

Heck fire, woman , its your home. Fix it the way you are comfortable. You don't use the living room as such so fix it the way you want. Is there a hubby you need to make happy or just you? If there is a hubby you may be able to sweet talk him to your way of thinkin. hehehe Good luck

It's your house, so make it your HOME. Do what makes you really happy and makes the most sense to you.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Years ago we took down a bedroom wall adjoing the dining room and made it a large den. Then moved the dining room to the living room. It worked out very well and never regretted it.

Our home was built before electricity, indoor plumbing and had gas lighting. The front room, right side was originally a parlor, a downstairs bedroom, rented out, spare bedroom, junk room, back to bedroom, had a twelve foot flight cage for cherry head conures, wallpapered and back to bedroom with priscilla curtains, catch-all, one wall lined with bookshelves, room for retired Quaker parrots and quilt cutting room. Very soon it will be the place for ALL quilty and crafty things that are scattered over the house. A "Jane Cave" shared only with the Quakers.

Go for it. Make your rooms functional--not conventional.
