How To Use A Living Room Sofa For Maximum Space Utilization?

Sofa in a living room is a very special way to occupy space for a special purpose. The main purpose of any sofa unit is to not just to
provide seating, but create a secured environment where the home owner and his family can enjoy moments of togetherness.

That's why sofas come in a variety of shapes and sizes. In most cases sofa units come in a category of "number of seats".

3seats in a row, 2seats in a row (commonly called as a "love seat") and a single seat sofa are available today in the furniture market.
Apart from these special designer sofas for placing in corner on the living room are also popular. These designer sofas are sometimes in the form of a letter "L" in plan, with the longer side of the "L" has a back rest with 3 seats in a row.

The most preferred arrangement of sofas in a living room furniture unit is making use of one 3seat sofa along the longer length of the sofa and two single seat sofas with an end table in between them. A living room set is also available for customers. This living room set
contains a 3seat sofa, a love seat, a single seat sofa , end table(s) and a coffee table.

Depending upon the design/dimensions/shape and volume of the living room various combinations of the sofas can be done to utilize space. While deciding the arrangement of the sofas keep one thing in mind that as soon as you arrange a sofa layout, the volume of space occupied by the sofas and surroundings immediately becomes the focus of attention. For example if the sofas have been arranged around the TV unit, see that the rest of the space gets enough attention or it will look unoccupied. Also make use of small elements such as end tables and coffee table of various shapes to create some interest in the living room.

Before defining a living room furniture layout first finalize your main activity of interest in a living room. What does this mean? What I mean is for do you use the living room most. Is it reading? watching TV, sleeping, home office in a short corner with a computer etc. Answering this question first is very important because in a living room furniture layout sofas play a major role. Since sofas are the heaviest furniture elements you can not move or shift them every other day for a different layout. I'm not saying you can never change the layout once it's done, but if you arrange the sofas around a TV unit then naturally watching TV becomes your main activity.

On the other hand if you place them around the exit to patio then naturally you will have to spend a lot of time watching nature and birds in the outside garden.

I hope this article was a good start in thinking about more creative ways to use sofas in a living room decorating.
