Consider the size and shape of the living room.
Living room seating plans.
Swinging the sofa lengthwise to the room allows for a slightly larger one facing the tv directly.
For seating areas place center tables at a distance of 18 inches or 1 foot away from your sofa.
Two armchairs in opposite corners can be moved where needed and a pouf as coffee table can become seating in a pinch as well.
Ahead we share a selection of our favorite living rooms featuring major seating arrangement inspiration.
An effective room arrangement starts with the focal point the cornerstone of your living room design typically a fireplace plays this role but in this contemporary cottage space the view out the french doors takes center stage instead.
The above living room floor plan opts for sitting ottomans instead of armchairs.
The distance between the sofa and television should ideally be three times the height of the screen.
Orient the main seating piece toward the focal point and arrange the secondary seating pieces around the main piece.
This arrangement creates a more casual vibe.
Any designer will confirm that seating can be very specific to the interior you re designing for but there s no doubt that settling for a mix of sofas and chairs and experimenting with placement can create a polished layout.
I understand the appeal because the ottomans can double as foot rests but i prefer sitting on seats with a back.
This is definitely a living room to welcome your friends round for movie night.
