Figuring out how to arrange furniture in your living room can be a never-ending headache involving sofas, coffee tables, chairs, stools, ottomans, rugs and lighting. The secret to a functional living room layout is to first determine your lifestyle needs.
Whether it’s a cozy place to relax, a comfortable and relaxing space, or an inviting TV area, here are some ideas that will help you arrange your living room in a pleasant way.
Furniture layout for small living room
Having trouble knowing where to place furniture in a small living room? Let yourself be inspired by our small living room designs. You will be surprised what can be done with a small space.
Opt for a symmetrical layout: symmetry will bring order and a sense of calm to your living room. However, you’ll want to consider breaking up the lines with lots of curves and textured surfaces to prevent the space from feeling too cramped.
Built-in your furniture: do it in partitions, or in corners where it is difficult to place ordinary furniture. Sometimes you will need to opt for custom furniture.
Choose furniture that takes up little space: corner sofas or lounge chairs are often used in small living rooms, as they provide maximum comfort while taking up minimal floor space.
Use your mirrors wisely: mirrors will provide a feeling of space. Why not take it a step further and add an entire wall that only has mirrors?
Furniture layout for open concept living room
Open concept living room furniture layouts are useful for seamless spaces without walls. This layout creates a welcoming atmosphere and makes moving from room to room easier, but it can also present some decorating challenges. Here are some ideas:

A well-placed sofa helps mark a transition from one space to another in an open concept living room. For more impact, place a console table in the back. You thus extend the presence of the sofa, while increasing your storage space.
Designing your living room
When designing an open concept living room, consider the entire room, including adjacent spaces. Paint, finishes, and furniture don’t have to match the other spaces exactly, but they should correlate for an aesthetically pleasing effect.
Use similar colors
For the layout of your living room to be successful, each piece of furniture in your house must take on one or more colors from the next room. If your living room is inspired by your kitchen, for example, you can use some of these colors, but in softer tones. Thus, the fabric of your sofa cover can recall the grayish tones of your household appliances.
Furniture layout for formal living room
If you primarily welcome guests into your home, a formal living room may be the best solution. In this case, all the furniture in the room will have to be chosen carefully, in order to make a good impression on everyone who visits your home.
Although there is no fixed rule, formal living rooms are usually located near the entrance of the house, since that is where guests enter. Informal living rooms, on the other hand, are usually located deeper in the house, often near the kitchen or near a door that leads to the garden.
A formal living room is usually designed in a more lavish way. Family heirlooms, stunning tables, plants and a classic decorating style (with an emphasis on white, neutral tones and more traditional styles) are all the rage for formal living rooms.

Suddenly, books start piling up on the tables, toys are lying around on the carpet and the remote control is swallowed by the sofa, ready to never be seen again. Even after a big purge, most people find that they simply don’t have room to store all the essential items.
The fact that more and more people live in small spaces, especially in cities, doesn’t make things easier. That’s why we would like to suggest some built-in storage ideas to creatively use the available space in your living room:
