Living room sofa placement notes

A comfortable sofa is essential for the living room. In the home layout, the sofa occupies a very important position, so we must learn how to place it and let the sofa play the most important role.

1. Focus on the object

If the living room lacks a focus, it seems to lose the overall sense, which makes people feel that this is just a pile of ornaments. You may ask, what is the focus? Common focus is:

Living room entrance

Floor-to-ceiling windows, views from the window

The longest wall

Bookshelves, fireplaces, TVs, and windows outside the window can be used as the focus of the living room. You can turn the orientation of the sofa, seat, and footrest ottoman into the focus object to form a curved dialogue space.

2. Taking the talks as the core

If you want to chat with a few friends or have a party, place the sofa and the seats more concentrated and close to each other, which is good for conversation and easy to change seats.

3, with the child as the core

Using furniture such as a table or sofa as a natural boundary, the child's game area is naturally separated from the adult's chat space. In addition, don't forget to design a good storage space, such as a powerful coffee table to hold the children's toys.

4, with visual balance as the core

Need to consider the size, height, color of the furniture, have a general grasp of the visual weight of each object, and form a balanced, symmetrical visual relationship by adjusting the position of the furniture.

Regardless of the layout, you need to leave a minimum of 66-92 cm channels so that you don't hit anything.

If your living room is small, you can place a sofa in front of the narrowest wall. It is recommended to place a 1.5-meter long double sofa.

Pay attention to the walls facing the door, the end of the corridor, the top of the stairs and the landing. The walls of these places can simply be hung up with a mirror or a piece of art, with a distinctive chair or chest of drawers underneath.

If your room has a whole carpet, you need to leave a gap of 31-46 cm against the wall. Spreading a large carpet can be suffocating and can even make your room smaller.
