How to Arrange Your Living Room Furniture
2
Our living rooms come in many shapes and sizes,
and we all yearn for a welcoming, social space
where we can unwind alone or gather with friends
and family. Creating that sense of warmth and
welcome, however, can sometimes elude us. The
living room can even be the problem room The
one thats rarely used for reasons on which
nobody can quite put their finger

Use Existing Elements as a Guide

• Using existing features, such as a fireplace or
  window, as organizing tools or starting points
  will create a sense of order and calm. At a
  window, for instance, two chairs will block the
  light less than a sofa. A large rug and sofa
  placed symmetrically in front of a fireplace,
  meanwhile, will create a strong and inviting
  focal point.

Create Conversation
Place the living room furniture in such a way
that the pieces appear to talk to one another,
as seen in this arrangement of chairs and sofa,
which point towards each other. In this way,
they will invite you to join in the
conversation. In the case of a living room, this
piece will usually be the main sofa. Frequently,
this will be happiest opposite or adjacent to a
fireplace or stove, if there is one, or perhaps
the window if not.

Pull Furniture Away From The
Walls

• Avoid the temptation to push furniture against
  the walls. While pulling it away may seem
  counterintuitive, especially in smaller rooms, it
  will, in fact, improve the flow of both light
  and Headboard. Just a few centimetres will
  suffice.
• In a large space, think of the room as having
  different parts, like little moments of calm. For
  example, a long room could include both a cosy
  seating arrangement around the fireplace, and a
  low table for plants or a chair for reading at
  the window.

Introduce Sculptural Lighting
Our furnishings and rooms tend to have corners,
or be square-ish in shape, so consider the
opportunity to introduce a sculptural element in
the form of a light fitting to soften the lines.
This could be a floor lamp or a wall- hung
fitting. An oversized lamp can bring drama to a
small room and scale to a larger space. It also
acts as a natural starting point for furniture
arrangement, so if you feel your room is lacking
a pleasing layout, try starting with a statement
light.

Employ a Coffee Table as an Anchor
A low table placed in the middle of a seating
space will both define the conversation area and
provide a useful surface for books and
nibbles. A height of 35-40cm is perfect Any
higher and it can become too dominant. In terms
of size, err on the larger side just like a
small rug, a small table will be lost and
contribute nothing to the arrangement.

Place Art Strategically
Art can give scale and intimacy to a space, and
can provide a striking focal point in a room
that would otherwise lack one. If youre
struggling with how to place your Dining room
tables, try hanging a striking piece of art on
the wall and using it as a guide for your
furniture. What you hang can be less important
than how you hang it. Using a height of 150cm
as a centre point for most pieces will give a
pleasing result engaging to both the eye and
the room.
