Living room and lounge

Organizing seating in a living room or lounge

Seating furniture is central to living room design. Sofas, armchairs and banquettes must allow for a variety of uses: resting position, face-to-face exchanges, reading or viewing. They are often arranged around a focal point: coffee table, bay window, fireplace or screen. The spacing between elements guarantees unhindered circulation and preserves the airiness of the space. The choice of formats depends on the available surface area: a chaise longue can optimize large volumes, while a two-seater accompanied by armchairs remains suitable for smaller rooms.

Structuring space with coffee tables and occasional furniture

The coffee table links the seats together and enables functional use to place objects, organize a TV tray or support a temporary activity. Its round, square or rectangular shape influences accessibility and circulation. Its height needs to be calibrated in relation to the seats to ensure fluid use. Around it, you can add sofa ends, footrests or stools to punctually round out the seating functions. These modules make it easy to adapt the space to your needs, without weighing down the overall structure.

Storage, multimedia supports and available walls

Low units, sideboards or TV stands occupy the walls without obstructing the view or hindering movement. They provide storage for useful items while supporting electronic equipment. Depending on requirements, they come in a variety of shapes: enfilades, suspended units, narrow columns. They should be placed on the clearest walls to free up the center of the room. This can be complemented by shelving or bookcases, which add vertical volume while maintaining a clear reading of the space.

The living room requires a precise layout, where each piece of furniture participates in a defined function. The balance is based on a clear hierarchy between seating areas, axes of passage and storage volumes.
