The sofa is a must-have piece of furniture in the living room. To adapt to different sizes and layouts of living room spaces, the placement of the sofa also has different requirements. The reasonable placement of the sofa is not only a beautiful decoration in the home, but also creates a warm family atmosphere. If you want to make the living room more lively and energetic, we must spend some time planning the layout of the sofa in the living room.

6 ways to place the sofa in the living room

01

Traditional U-shaped sofa placement

Sofas placed in a U-shaped pattern often occupy a larger space, so they are relatively comfortable to use, and are especially suitable for families with a large population. The family can sit together to enjoy the joy of family life, and it is very convenient to communicate. Because the U-shaped pattern encloses a certain space, the sofa itself has the function of an invisible partition, which invisibly divides the boundaries of the living room.

02

L-shaped sofa suitable for large and small houses

As the minimalist style is increasingly accepted by the public, in order to coordinate with the space in terms of shape and color, the simple L-shaped sofa style is loved by many people. The L-shaped sofa is generally suitable for more fashionable home design, and it can also make full use of the space. The "corner style" composed of multiple or single sofas is movable and changeable, and the layout can be changed according to needs, making the living room always full of freshness.

03

Fashionable modular small sofa

With the popularity of various mix-and-match styles, small sofas with high appearance value have stood out and become a new fashion trend. Small sofas do not have the bulkiness of large sofas, and they are comfortable to sit on and stylishly arranged. Small sofas can be moved at any time, and there can be more changes in design. Using one, two or three small sofas together can naturally form an enclosed layout. Everyone sits around and talks in a harmonious atmosphere with good cohesion.

The combination of small sofas is more casual. Mixing and matching small sofas of different styles can achieve unity and harmony in shape, color, pattern, material, etc., which can create a different visual effect. Reasonable combination of small sofas can also create a formal meeting environment that is not inferior to large sofas, and will be more fashionable.

04

Relaxing sofa in a stylish living room

Young people who advocate freedom and are casual and unrestrained are more groundbreaking in their choice of sofas. Their living rooms are unconstrained. The leisure sofa that can be sat on or laid down in the picture below is more like a comfortable bed. You can lie comfortably on the sofa to read or rest, and it can be moved at will, which is very suitable for today's young people.

05

Use tatami instead of sofa

It is not uncommon to use tatami instead of sofas in the living room. Putting futons and cushions on the tatami instead of the sofas in the living room will make the living room different, especially for families with children. They will have so much fun rolling around on the tatami. Put a small coffee table on the tatami, and you can have tea, chat, and play chess with friends when they visit on weekdays. It serves as a leisure tea room. If there are guests staying overnight, the tatami can also be used as a guest room.

Matters Needing Attention When Placing Sofas

The sofa should be curved rather than straight. The sofa plays an important role in the living room, just like an important port in a country. It must be able to hold as much water as possible to thrive. The sofa should also be arranged like an advanced port, with arms extending on both sides.

If the environment does not allow the sofa to be supported by arms on both sides, then you can settle for the next best thing and place another sofa at the water drain position, and make your own lower gate sand to welcome the water flowing in from the front door, forming a water gathering situation, which is also in line with the principles of Feng Shui.

It is not advisable to have a large mirror behind the sofa. When people sit on the sofa, others can clearly see the back of their head in the mirror, which is very bad.

Sometimes the light around the sofa is weak, and many people will place lighting on the top of the sofa, such as downlights hidden in the ceiling or spotlights exposed outside. Because they are too close to the sofa, the light shines directly from the top of the head. In terms of environmental design, direct light on the top of the sofa will make people nervous, dizzy, and restless. If the light is modified to shine on the wall, it can be slightly alleviated.
