How do you position your couch properly?

An essential element of the living room, the sofa is ideal for structuring your space and making your room more pleasant to live in. Kare Click offers you to discover the many existing solutions to place your sofa in your living room.

Arrangement of the sofa in the living room?

First of all, the most important thing to do when furnishing your living room is to get off the couch. Indeed, this is often the most imposing in terms of your furniture. This is why finding the right place for your sofa is essential before considering any room decoration.

In front of a window

Placing one's living room in front of a window is very pleasant, especially thanks to the amount of light. However, you need a lot of space to choose this solution because you lose the space between the window and the sofa. The disadvantage of this kind of solution is the possible false day on your television. Some sun protections exist to avoid this kind of inconvenience.

In an angle

Situated in a corner, the sofa can be used to fill in spaces that are unused or difficult to convert. This solution is often used in slightly smaller living rooms between two windows. This not only provides a pleasant supply of light, but also fills in the holes in the living room. A simple 2 or 3-seater sofa is thus recommended for this type of arrangement. Indeed, a corner sofa would be unsuitable because it would hide one of the 2 windows of the living room.

In the middle of the living room

The layout in the middle of the living room is often used to separate or divide the room. This gives you a real sitting area, but also a dining area, a relaxation area or an office? Installed in the centre of the room, the sofa must be a structural element that encourages the movement of the inhabitants. In this type of arrangement, the sofa must be different from the other elements of the living room. It is the major element of the piece and must stand out.

Against a wall

Placing your sofa against a wall helps to structure the room and also saves space. Whether in a large living room or in a small space, this type of layout is to be adapted according to the size of the wall. This place against the wall will also allow you to choose the future sofa model. 2 angles for large spaces, while one angle will be more suitable for smaller spaces...?

In a circle

To arrange your sofas in a circle, you need a very large living room. It is the layout that takes up the most space in a living room, but it is also the most user-friendly. Family members or guests will be able to exchange simply and share good times around a central table.
The disadvantages of this kind of solution are the cost, since you will have to buy several sofas to arrange them in a circle, but also the situation in front of the television. Not everyone who sits down will see the television, but if you choose this type of arrangement, it's certainly not for watching television in large groups.

In front of the fireplace

If you have a fireplace in your living room, we advise you to highlight it and then your sofa becomes less important, but just as interesting in terms of decoration and space management. To optimize the visibility of the chimney, plan instead a small contemporary sofa with 2 or 3 places with a small height that you will place perpendicularly to it. It's a solution that brings a lot of life to the room. However, leave enough space between the fireplace and the sofa so that the latter does not deteriorate because of the heat emitted.

Small living room: How to place your sofa?

When space is limited, it is very important to ask the right questions before buying a sofa. Where are you going to put your future couch? Which format can you choose? In small spaces, the simplest way is to place your sofa against a wall. In fact, placing the most imposing furniture in the middle of your living room could considerably reduce your living space. Placing the sofa against a wall would save space in the living room. You will be able to plan your other arrangements accordingly (TV cabinet, shelves, sideboard, etc...).

Corner sofas are fashionable, but they are not necessarily suitable for small spaces. Favour the 2-seater sofa with possible armchairs in order to have a better margin of manoeuvre when furnishing your living room in the future.

For even smaller spaces such as the studio, you may prefer convertible sofas, which will allow you to save a considerable amount of space in your apartment.
