Options for arranging upholstered furniture in the living room

When creating the interior of a living room, it is not enough to choose a sofa and armchairs. It is much more important to find the right place for them in the room. This means that the arrangement should look harmonious and be comfortable for all family members. Don’t forget about guests, because from time to time they appear in the house of even the most reserved and unsociable people. We offer several popular schemes for arranging upholstered furniture, proven by many years of practice.

Why do you need a soft corner?

This is the first question to ask yourself during the planning stage. Most often, a sofa is placed in front of a TV screen so that you can comfortably watch movies and TV shows. This means that you immediately need to think about how many people will simultaneously participate in the viewing, i.e. how many seats should you expect? For a family of mother, father and child, a compact sofa and one chair are enough. If representatives of the older generation also live in the house, one armchair will no longer be enough, and you will most likely have to choose a wider sofa. Well, in a house where guests often visit, the most convenient option would be two identical sofas located opposite each other or at an angle to make it more convenient to talk.

Room dimensions

It is not always possible to realize your desires, especially if the living room area is the limiter. The sofa group should not only fit into the existing dimensions, but also look quite attractive. For a spacious room, massive, oversized upholstered furniture is suitable, which will fill the space and become the center of the interior composition. If we are talking about a standard room in a “Khrushchev” apartment, then it is worth considering options for compact, light sofas and armchairs with legs. At the same time, the entire sofa group should not occupy more than two-thirds of the room, so as not to create a feeling of cramping.

How to arrange upholstered furniture?

The standard layout with a lonely sofa along a long wall evokes despondency and boredom. Interior designers have come up with many more interesting layout options. The choice of one of them depends on the size of the sofa group, the dimensions of the room, the location of windows and doors. But even for a small living room, you can come up with a rather original and at the same time comfortable arrangement of the sofa and armchairs.

One sofa and several armchairs

The basis of the arrangement is the sofa and the coffee table in front of it. Quantity chairs varies from one to four, depending on the expected number of people in the living room. The sofa is usually placed in front of the TV, the armchairs are grouped around the coffee table in front of the sofa. Two chairs can be made mobile, i.e. put on wheels and move around the room depending on your needs. It is important to follow the rules of aisles: at least 30 cm should be left between the sofa and the table, and at least 15 cm between the chairs.

Two sofas at an angle

Two sofas located at right angles to each other, of course, can be replaced with one large corner model, but the result will still not be quite the same. The resulting corner is filled with a coffee table, to which one or two armchairs can be placed. It is important that the sofas are not the same - this way the interior looks more dynamic and attractive. Today, the trend is not sets of identical furniture, but light eclecticism - sets of several items that differ in design and shades of upholstery.

Two sofas opposite

To implement this arrangement, the living room should be spacious enough so that the sofas occupy no more than half of its area. In this case, it is also advisable to choose two models that differ in size and upholstery color. A unifying touch can be, for example, decorative pillows made from upholstery fabric of both colors. The arrangement can be supplemented with one or two chairs.
