Design Tips

Living Room Layout Tips

01

Size Your Rug to the Seating

Front legs of all seating should sit on the rug. An 8x10 works for most sofas with two chairs. Going smaller makes the room feel disconnected.

02

Float Furniture Off the Walls

Pulling your sofa 6-12 inches from the wall creates better proportion in rooms wider than 14 feet. It also opens a natural path behind the seating area.

03

Add a Second Light Layer

One ceiling fixture is not enough. A floor lamp behind the sofa plus a table lamp on a console eliminates shadows and makes evening use comfortable.

04

Anchor With the Longest Wall

Place your largest piece (sofa or sectional) against the longest wall first. Everything else orients from there. This prevents the trial-and-error of moving heavy furniture.

Planning Guide

Before You Start

Open Plan or Enclosed

Open-plan living rooms need defined zones using rugs and lighting. Enclosed rooms have more wall space for storage and art. The layout strategy is completely different.

TV Placement and Glare

Windows opposite your TV cause daytime glare. We position screens and plan window treatments so both natural light and media work together.

Kid and Pet Durability

Performance fabrics like Crypton and Revolution look like linen but resist stains. We specify these for families so the room stays practical and photogenic.

Fireplace as Focal Point

A fireplace wall competes with a TV for attention. We resolve this by stacking, offsetting, or using built-in cabinetry to give both elements visual balance.
