How to arrange furniture in the living room

For many, the question of “furniture arrangement” does not seem so important. Just think, furniture ... we’ll put everything to be convenient. Oh no, not all. Indeed, the design of the room, appearance, comfort and other nuances completely depend on the arrangement of furniture. After all, even the most budget furniture, which will be correctly arranged and tastefully, is capable of unrecognizable changes in the room. There are many different ways how to arrange furniture in a room beautifully and competently. Let's look in more detail.

Preparation of furniture areas in the living room

The living room is perhaps the most “active” room of all. After all, it is here that households gather after a hard day's work; it is here that guests most often gather. What are the general zoning options for living rooms? In fact, there are a lot of them, but the most popular are three: a dining room, a reception room and a place to relax.

Typically, these rooms are large enough, which means that the difficulties with the arrangement of furniture will be much less than in cases with small rooms. First, you can draw on a piece of paper an improvised plan for arranging furniture and room areas: where there will be a dining table and chairs, where there will be a TV, sofa and armchairs, and where flowers and cabinets with shelves of books and other various items and accessories will be placed. This will be a good help for further design.

Arranging the furniture in the living room

The recreation area is best located in those places where the room will be the least lit so as not to strain the light perception of vacationing people. In such a part of the living room, it is best to put a sofa or armchairs, and next to a TV or any audio device and light with unobtrusive sconces or stylish floor lamps.

The area for using the living room as a dining room can be located both in the middle of the room, and near the window or near the brightest light sources. After all, at the dinner table you will receive guests, and not just spend time with your family. However, if your table is very large, and the room is not very large, then it is best not to occupy the space in the middle of the room with its dimensions, but to put it closer to the window.

Oversized cabinets will be completely inappropriate here, it is best to put narrow cabinets with shelves for books near the wall, if they are so needed. Floor lamps or elegant floor vases, flower stands, etc. are also suitable. Another, no less important, condition for the proper arrangement of furniture in the living room is the availability of free space. There must be enough space for moving around the table, sofa, as well as for consolidated access to bookshelves.

Having well thought out and correctly arranging the furniture in the living room, you will not only make it attractive and beautiful, but also multifunctional, which is important for such rooms. After all, you will take care not only of your own desires and preferences, but also of creating maximum comfort during the stay of dear guests in your house.
