The sofa is the core of the entire living room, and the selection and layout of the sofa

Directly affects the function, movement, comfort and aesthetics of the entire living room

Today's article focuses on the following aspects

The layout logic of the sofa in the living room

01. Basic dimensions of living room sofas

02. Conventional sofa layout in the living room

03. Seven new trends in sofa layout for living rooms in the future

01  /   Basic dimensions of living room sofas

According to common sofa sizes

It can be roughly divided into single sofa, double sofa and three-person sofa

Single, double and triple seat

It is actually determined by the seat width, not the overall width of the sofa.

Sofa seat width = sofa width - armrest width × 2.

A seat that is wide enough to accommodate three adults is considered a three-seater.

①Single-seat sofa , divided into single-seat sofa without armrests and single-seat sofa with double armrests

Single seat without armrests is often used in modular sofas to increase the width of the sofa combination

The single seat with double armrests can be placed independently.

The width of a single seat is generally: 800-1100mm,

Depth: 850-1000mm;

Seat height: 350-420mm; Back height: 700-900mm;

② Double sofa , double sofa size width: 1300-1600mm;

③ Three-seater sofa , generally has single-armrest three-seater and double-armrest three-seater. The general size is width: 1750-2300mm;

④ Concubine sofa , divided into independent concubine sofa and combined concubine sofa. The length is generally: 1500-1900mm;

⑤ The length and width of the corner sofa and footrest are both around 1000mm;

The size of the sofa depends on the width of the living room or the width of the sofa background wall

Choose the right size

①The width of the living room is between 2.5M and 4M

Choose a three-seater sofa or a three-seater + concubine seat combination;

②The width of the living room is between 4M and 6M

Choose a three-person seat + an independent single seat or a three-person seat + a single seat without armrests + a concubine seat

③ Living room width ≥ 6M

Choose a triple seat + a single seat + a single seat or even a larger one

02  /   Common layout of sofas in living room

【Parallel Layout】

Features: Suitable for small apartments, giving people a sense of order.

The most common approach to parallel layout is

The sofas are placed in a straight line along the wall, parallel to the coffee table and TV cabinet.

This layout can save space in small apartments.

Increase the range of activities while making the living room appear neat and uncrowded.

【L-shaped layout】

Features: Strong adaptability to apartment types

It can make full use of the space and is suitable for medium-sized apartments.

L-shaped corner layout with multiple or single sofas

It has good flexibility and mobility.

The layout can be changed according to the depth and width of the house, and it is highly adaptable.

The L-shaped layout can use the corner to form an intimate open communication space

Create a happy atmosphere for the whole family.

【Enclosed layout】

Features: Suitable for large apartments, strong sense of privacy, and rich living room atmosphere.

After determining the main sofa, you can freely combine

Single chair, reclining chair, lazy sofa and even low cabinet, chest of drawers, etc.

Forming a gathering and enclosed layout.

This enclosed layout is not centered on the TV in the living room.

It is particularly suitable for social function needs.

03  /  Seven new trends in sofa layout for living rooms in the future

【Sofa unit modularity】

The depth of the sofa, the height of the seat,

The height of the backrest and the softness of the seat cushion both need to be carefully considered.

You also need to fully understand what your family members are used to doing and what activities they carry out in the living room.

Nordic design first proposed the concept of unit modular sofa.

Unit means

Cut the sofa to the width for a single person

Disassemble into seats, corners, armrests and other parts

Consumers can freely combine them according to space and convenience▼

The advantage of this is that you don't have to worry about the size and style of the sofa

The problem of inappropriate space can be solved by simply moving the sofa.

For example, MUJI's unit sofa

It can adjust itself to adapt to changes in space size▼

Modular sofa with adjustable direction and various combinations

It can best meet the different usage habits of a family.

You can sit or lie down, and it is convenient to move anywhere.

The modular combination can efficiently utilize the space at corners and door sides.

Create a three-dimensional visual effect.

【Sofa island】

If the sofa can be freely arranged and combined

So why not go a little crazier?

IKEA's VALLENTUNA sofa is beyond the ordinary unit assembly

More attempts have been made to provide more fun for the leisure life in the living room.

Just rotate the sofa backrest 90°.

It can completely change the atmosphere of our conversation on the sofa.

In the past, we sat side by side on the sofa and watched the TV screen together.

Now you can chat face to face while lying on a sofa▼

When we rotate the backrest to 180°, the situation is different.

We can sit back to back on a sofa.

This means that the sofa can no longer be placed against the wall, but in the middle of the living room.

We call this kind of sofa an "island sofa"▼

The emergence of island sofas is changing our space layout

The previous living and dining room seemed to merge the two spaces together.

But in fact, there is not much connection between the sofa and the dining table.

The two are in a state of independence▼

The island sofa can be sat or lay down from any direction.

One side can face the scenery, and the other side can chat with people at the table

No need to eat alone at the dining table after working overtime

And when there are many people at the party, they can be spread out on the dining table

Will not affect the enthusiasm for communication▼

The island sofa improves the utilization of the living room and dining room.

The two also have more intersections and connections in terms of space and function.

【Backrest Blurred】

The biggest difference from ordinary sofas is the treatment of the backrest.

In the past, sofas were placed against the wall, and the backs were mostly vertical.

The sofa is located in the center of the living room, and the backrest also becomes an important visual element.

In addition to giving it more shape in decoration

Some sofas also blur the armrests and backrests.

It is difficult to tell whether the raised parts on both sides of the sofa are armrests or backrests.

According to different unit combinations

It switches between backrest and armrest.

【Multifunctional sofa】

This concept started long ago.

Due to the magical year of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic that swept across the country at the beginning of the year

Many people are forced to work from home

It also prompted the transformation and evolution of the living room sofa form

Gradually becoming a multifunctional complex

Combine the sofa back with a side table, storage or desk

It is also one of the popular trends of sofas.

Combined with the modern people's habit of lying on the sofa,

Using a side table instead of a backrest allows you to read or write on the sofa.

and computer operation, etc.

Magazines can also be stored on the spot after reading

This arrangement is not only more in line with our living habits

The sofa itself can also share the function of the coffee table

Free up more space for activities in the living room.

【Sofa bidirectional】

There are many types of sofas to choose from in large rooms

You can also jump out of the fixed mode and choose a unique two-way

You can sit on both sides, the dishes can be sweet or savory, and they occupy a large area.

▼Two-way sofa allows furniture to be better coordinated

Irregular curves can also be used

It makes the lines of the entire space diverse and gives it a strong sense of design.

【Use a curved sofa】

If you don't like square edges

You can choose a curved sofa with elegant shape and soft lines

Make the whole space appear open and break the inherent lines

It is best paired with a round coffee table.

The large living room can use the curved sofa

Make a good space partition

If there is a curved wall in the house, it is more suitable to choose a curved sofa

[(Single seat + lounge chair) mode ]

The living room can also break away from those rules and regulations

Choose a simple single seat

When the owner's friends come over, they put some stylish leisure chairs there.

Not only does it highlight your taste, it also instantly upgrades your living room into a small salon.

If the owner spends most of the time sitting

You can completely abandon the ordinary sofa

And replace it with a few comfortable single seats.
