Consider the size and shape of the living room.
Living room seating plans.
Two armchairs in opposite corners can be moved where needed and a pouf as coffee table can become seating in a pinch as well.
Orient the main seating piece toward the focal point and arrange the secondary seating pieces around the main piece.
This arrangement creates a more casual vibe.
Long thin rooms where one length is more than 3m need clever lighting and benefit from zoning into different areas such as sitting areas reading spots and a home office.

To plan the room.
Any designer will confirm that seating can be very specific to the interior you re designing for but there s no doubt that settling for a mix of sofas and chairs and experimenting with placement can create a polished layout.

What looks good in one living room might not work for another.
I understand the appeal because the ottomans can double as foot rests but i prefer sitting on seats with a back.
Swinging the sofa lengthwise to the room allows for a slightly larger one facing the tv directly.
The distance between the sofa and television should ideally be three times the height of the screen.
