In some cases, a sofa can become an interior detail that makes the room comfortable, convenient and more beautiful.
In other cases, a piece of furniture turns into something superfluous. Something that visually reduces the room and makes it more cramped.
The most interesting thing is that both situations can happen with the same sofa. After all, it's all about the location.
It is enough to place an object incorrectly and it will begin to seriously disturb the apartment residents.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior design, named a common mistake associated with the placement of a sofa in a room.
How not to place a sofa
It would be a huge mistake to place a piece of furniture not against a wall.
Especially if the back of the sofa or chair “looks” at the door.
If a person entering a room immediately sees the back of the upholstered furniture, he will feel cramped. The room will definitely not seem cozy and spacious.
Therefore, try to place sofas and armchairs so that they do not block anything.
What to do if you can’t move the sofa
Sometimes people do not have the opportunity to put a sofa against the wall. For example, due to the need to zone the space.
In this case, the placement of furniture in the center of the room is allowed. But then the back should be "covered" with something. For example, with shelves or bedside tables.
