Flow No Living Room Sofa Or Chair Should be An Island of Its Own

How Things Flow No living room sofa or chair should be an island of its own. When people sit down, they almost always need a place to put a drink or book, as well as light to read by. Place a coffee table or end table within easy reach of each seat, along with a table or floor lamp. 

No one wants to stub a toe on a chair leg, so you’ll also want to ensure there are clear walking paths through the living room, and that no furniture blocks part of a doorway or makes it necessary to squeeze by.

Will your living room have a TV?

If so, plan for a wall mount or a media unit to hold it, as well as a path for cables that won’t be unsightly.

Do you plan to host buffet-style dinners? If so, a credenza or sideboard near the dining table will allow you to serve in one space rather than having guests traipse through the kitchen.

Add Rugs

A living room with hardwood floors but no rug looks naked. For visual and literal comfort, add a rug.

There are three common strategies for doing so:

  • A room-filling rug. Install a rug that covers almost the entire floor of the room, leaving a border or just a foot or two at the edges. This usually works best in smaller rooms.
  • Seating area rugs. Break a larger room down into multiple seating areas by using rugs to visually hold each group of furniture together. Or, in an open-concept space, use a rug to hold the living area together, while allowing the dining area to sit directly on the wood floor.
  • Layered rugs. Pile smaller rugs on top of a larger one to create extra visual interest while reinforcing the layout of the room.

Be generous when selecting sizes. A small rug under the coffee table that doesn’t reach the legs of sofas and chairs will look like a raft lost at sea. The rug should extend about halfway, or fully, under the furniture at its edges.
