5 Steps: How to Arrange Your Living Room Furniture

Our living rooms come in many shapes and sizes, and we all yearn for a welcoming, social space where we can unwind alone or gather with friends and family. Creating that sense of warmth and welcome, however, can sometimes elude us. The living room can even be the ‘problem’ room: The one that’s rarely used for reasons on which nobody can quite put their finger…

Furniture position plays an important part in the feel of a living room, so check out these ways to get the right arrangement for you.

1. Use existing elements as a guide

Think in terms of placing, rather than putting, the furniture in the room. This means taking time to think about where exactly each piece should go and how it relates to the other elements in the space.

Using existing features, such as a fireplace or window, as organising tools or starting points will create a sense of order and calm. At a window, for instance, two chairs will block the light less than a sofa. A large rug and sofa placed symmetrically in front of a fireplace, meanwhile, will create a strong and inviting focal point.

2. Create conversation

Place the furniture in such a way that the pieces appear to ‘talk’ to one another, as seen in this arrangement of chairs and sofa, which point towards each other. In this way, they will invite you to join in the conversation.

3. Find a room’s ‘centre of gravity’

Think of the centre of gravity in a room as the place where the largest item of furniture wants to be. In the case of a living room, this piece will usually be the main sofa. Frequently, this will be happiest opposite or adjacent to a fireplace or stove, if there is one, or perhaps the window if not.

4. Employ a coffee table as an anchor

A low table placed in the middle of a seating space will both define the conversation area and provide a useful surface for books and nibbles. In terms of size, err on the larger side; just like a small rug, a small table will be lost and contribute nothing to the arrangement.

5. Place art strategically

Art can give scale and intimacy to a space, and can provide a striking focal point in a room that would otherwise lack one. If you’re struggling with how to place your furniture, try hanging a striking piece of art on the wall and using it as a guide for your furniture.
