It is generally accepted that a sofa should stand against a wall.
And in most cases, this approach is correct, as it helps save space and avoid clutter.
But there are a few situations when a piece of furniture should be placed right in the middle of the room.
Oddly enough, the interior will only benefit from this.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior, spoke about two interesting techniques.
Zoning
It is worth placing a sofa in the central part of the room if there is a need to create several zones in the room.
For example, you need to separate the work area from the rest area. A piece of furniture will act as an ideal partition.
By the way, a sofa will also be needed if you need to separate the kitchen from the living room combined with it.
The need to create balance in the interior
Let's imagine a situation: an object that is not furniture is chosen as the compositional center in the living room. For example, a fireplace or a TV.
In this case, there will be a need to create an axis of symmetry.
If you place a sofa near the window, the interior will lose its symmetry.
But if you place a piece of furniture in the middle of the room and parallel to the wall that is opposite the door, then the appearance of the room will remain harmonious.
