Living room seating plans.
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.
Orient the main seating piece toward the focal point and arrange the secondary seating pieces around the main piece.
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.
This arrangement creates a more casual vibe.
For seating areas place center tables at a distance of 18 inches or 1 foot away from your sofa.
Consider the size and shape of the living room.
