Is upholstered furniture created for the living room, or is it just something people came up with and then got used to?
If you ask designers about this, you can hear surprising things. Experts say that in some cases you can do without a sofa at all.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told what you can buy for the living room instead of a sofa.
The sofa is comfortable, you can seat guests at the table on it, just lie down and rest, and it is an additional sleeping place. But sometimes it is really better without it.
What instead of a sofa
Firstly, armchairs or couches will look more impressive in a spacious living room. The atmosphere only benefits from this technique.
Secondly, you need to consider not only the dimensions of the room, but also the style.
In a room for relaxation and communication in a minimalist atmosphere, a set of armchairs or a couch will definitely look better.
Thirdly, if the living room is small, then a bulky sofa can make it even less comfortable, “eating up” some of the useful space.
Fourthly, if there is a guest bedroom, then the sofa in the living room will again be superfluous.
Beyond fashion and time
But for most residents, a guest bedroom, dining room or separate room for receiving guests is only a pipe dream.
In such cases, it is better not to give in to fashion trends.
If the living room in a house or apartment is the only room where a group or the whole family can gather in front of the TV, then you cannot refuse spacious upholstered furniture.
