When arranging a set of upholstered furniture, there are no special options.

This is the largest piece of furniture, but its location determines the coziness and comfort, as well as the style and individual features of the room.

Is it possible to come up with something and move away from the boring scheme with a sofa along the wall and a couple of armchairs on the sides?

By the way, experts suggest first of all answering the question: are chairs really necessary?

Here are some interesting options.

1. The sofa can be placed in front of the fireplace or TV, and the larger the family, the larger the sofa should be. In this situation, two sofas will look better than a classic pair of armchairs next to each other.

2. A sofa placed along an empty wall looks boring and lonely. In this case, you can add one armchair that can be moved around the room.

3. A design consisting of two sofas standing opposite each other and one armchair looks original. If the room is elongated, then the upholstered furniture can be placed perpendicular to the wall.

4. It is important to consider the distance when arranging furniture. There should be no more than 2-3 meters between people sitting opposite each other.

5. In addition, in the living room, the width of the passage between furniture should not be narrower than 80 cm. If upholstered furniture is to be placed in the center of the room, then there should be at least 50 cm from the back or armrest to the wall.

6. The most massive (not corner) furniture is placed opposite the TV, fireplace or other decorative composition.

It is also possible to create asymmetrical compositions, but this is somewhat more difficult.
