Proper placement of furniture not only provides comfort and coziness, but also helps to create a harmonious and stylish atmosphere in the room.
Determine the style and purpose of the living room
Before you start arranging furniture, decide what style you want to create in your living room, says Yulia Tychino .
It can be classic, modern, minimalist or any other style. Also decide whether your living room will be a place for relaxation, work or entertainment.
Choose the main piece of furniture
The main element in the living room is usually a sofa or armchairs. They should be comfortable and match the style of your room.
If you have room for a large sofa, go for it, but if space is limited, you can go for armchairs or a small sofa.
Place a sofa or chairs
The sofa or chairs should be placed in such a way as to provide comfort and convenience for all occupants of the living room.
They should be placed along a wall or in a corner of the room to create a cozy seating area. If you choose armchairs, they can be placed around a coffee table or opposite a sofa.
Set up a coffee table
A coffee table is a must-have element of a living room, which not only complements the interior, but also serves as a place to store various items.
It should be large enough to hold drinks, snacks, and other items you might need while relaxing in the living room.
Place the TV
The TV should be positioned so that it is convenient to watch from the sofa or armchairs. It is usually placed on the wall opposite the seating area or above the fireplace, if there is one.
If you have a home theater, it can also be placed in this area.
Install lighting
Lighting plays a significant role in creating a cozy atmosphere in the guest room. You can use different light sources: a central chandelier, sconces or floor lamps.
It is desirable that the lighting be soft and warm, as it creates a more comfortable atmosphere.
Add decor and accessories
To make your living room look stylish and cozy, add various accessories and decor to it.
These can be paintings, vases, figurines, candles or even plants. The main thing is that the accessories harmoniously match the overall style of the room.
Rate the result
Once you have placed your furniture and added decor, take a look around your living room and assess how comfortable and cozy it is for you to be in it.
It may be necessary to make some changes or add additional elements. It is important to remember that the main thing is comfort and convenience, so do not be afraid to experiment and find the best solution for your living room.
