The focal point of the living room can be a fireplace, a large window or a TV. Choose a focal point and arrange furniture around it.

Place a sofa or chairs

Place the sofa or chairs in the seating area so that they face the central point.

If the living room is used for socializing, it is better to choose several chairs and arrange them so that they face each other.

Put a coffee table

The coffee table is an integral part of the seating area. Place it so that it is within reach of all seats on the sofa or armchairs.

Add additional decorative elements

Maintain order

It is important to keep your living room tidy at all times so that it always looks neat and suitable for guests.

Overall, the arrangement of furniture in the living room is an individual choice that depends on your needs and preferences.
