The living room is the main room of any house for a number of reasons. It is perhaps the most used space in our home. And why not? After all, that’s where we place our couch, set-up our television set, and many other huge and small pieces of furniture.

Basically, it binds the look of our entire house and serves as a multi-purpose area – right from the place to welcome guests to the zone where we tend to spend most of our leisure time. In fact, as per the data, the living room furniture revenue alone is expected to reach up to $512 billion by 2025, according to statista.com.

1. Never push furniture against the wall

For beginners, this is one of the most important tips! No matter how small or insignificant, never push your furniture towards the wall. Especially in the case of the living room, make it a point not to do this.

Even if your living room is considerably small, you need to give your furniture a little breathing space. If you do not allow it to do so, the furniture’s lifespan is harmed. Therefore, no matter how spacious your living room may appear after pushing the furniture to the corners, try not to do it.

2. The tea table arrangement

A living room is basically incomplete without a tea table. It is arguably one of the most important pieces of furniture in that space. That is the reason why you need to be a little careful with this specific piece of furniture.

When buying one from a store like FCI London, go for a bigger-sized tea table and place it in the middle of your living room. It makes your living room look aesthetic and makes it easier for people sitting on different seats to access it conveniently.

3. Setting up the couch

Usually, the most oversized furniture item is a couch that needs to be arranged in a certain manner. Needless to say, before buying one, you must measure out the space where you are actually going to place it.

Place the couch in the center, just behind the tea-table. If you have chairs along with it, try putting them in different corners for an overall pleasant look.

4. Don’t forget Rugs

Rugs are so important – not just for the visuals but also for the living area’s overall tidiness. Hence, go for the rug, which is big in size when picking one. Make sure all of your other wooden furniture is able to stand on it properly.

5. The side tables can make or break the look

The side tables might look like just any piece of glued wood, but it is an essential part of the entire furniture. Therefore, the placement needs to be on point.

As the name suggests, the side tables must be placed on the corners of the living area so that the people sitting there have a table at their disposal. Also, the wider the distance between two tables, the better it looks.

6. Balance the arrangement of furniture

Balance is necessary, even while buying your living room furniture. Do not stuff all your furniture in a single place. Instead, arrange it wisely. If you put all, or most, of your furniture around a corner, it not only makes the space look small but also unorganized.

7. Artwork arrangement is important

Artworks are used to enhance your living room’s visuals, but if placed incorrectly, it might ruin the whole appearance.

So, if you have bought pieces of artwork for your living room, make sure to place them properly. The bigger the size of the furniture you are hanging it behind, the bigger the artwork should be. That’s how you do it – in proportion to the size of your furniture.

Over to you…

Correct furniture arrangement of the living room is important. It not only makes the space look absolutely gorgeous but also makes it appear bigger than it actually is.

Here, we listed the seven simple tips for the living room furniture arrangement. So, the next time you want to remodel your living room, make sure you keep this article handy!
