Ahead we share a selection of our favorite living rooms featuring major seating arrangement inspiration.
Living room seating plans.
To plan the room.
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.
I understand the appeal because the ottomans can double as foot rests but i prefer sitting on seats with a back.
For seating areas place center tables at a distance of 18 inches or 1 foot away from your sofa.
This is definitely a living room to welcome your friends round for movie night.
Small living room floor plan layout with sofa and 2 chairs.
The above living room floor plan opts for sitting ottomans instead of armchairs.
Swinging the sofa lengthwise to the room allows for a slightly larger one facing the tv directly.
Long thin rooms where one length is more than 3m need clever lighting and benefit from zoning into different areas such as sitting areas reading spots and a home office.
What looks good in one living room might not work for another.
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.
This arrangement creates a more casual vibe.
