What are the benefits of spending time thinking about your living room layout?

  • Helps to combine function and style – you can plan how to make the room suit your lifestyle and how to lay out your furniture or accent pieces to optimize the use of your space
  • Create your own atmosphere – your living room can be warm and inviting to encourage conversation, or open and accessible to convey a relaxed and casual space for hanging out
  • Gives you options – you can play around with different styles, figure out what works best for your space, discover solutions to problem areas, or even use a layout that will make your living room feel larger

  • Sofas: L-shaped sectional sofa, leather U-shaped sofa, ‘Barcelona’ daybed, square arm sofa with wooden armrest, facing tufted sofas with rolled arms, facing loveseats

  • Coffee Tables: ottoman coffee table, nesting coffee tables, square glass top coffee table, twin hollow coffee tables, reclaimed wood coffee table, trapezoid coffee table
  • Accent Tables: cylindrical wood accent table, 3-tier console table, accent table lamps
