How to place the dining table and sofa in the living room?

I'm a post-8s home designer. I've worked for more than 8 years, and I've designed nearly 2 apartments, no matter whether it's a horizontal hall or a vertical hall, or even a small LOFT living room case. Today, I'll tell you how to place a common living room sofa.

1. Plan first, then buy furniture!

Before you buy furniture, plan the room visually on paper, even if you don't have any painting skills, just use sketches! You can use simple graphics to identify furniture and its placement. But before drawing, you need to roughly measure your room and know what furniture you need.

try to plan the placement diagonally.

Because diagonal layout provides a wider angle, it is more dynamic in visual presentation!

if you can't correctly grasp the diagonal of every furniture, or you can't judge how to set this diagonal better, you can try to move smaller furniture first to create different angles and create different levels.

Even if the space is small, we can still make the room more comfortable and practical. In particular, don't neglect to relocate some small furniture. Although they are not big, they often have the largest number. Reasonable arrangement of their positions can create a more suitable living space.

It is also suggested to make a variety of arrangements and combinations of furniture, and after evaluating which arrangement is the most suitable, buy and place it.

2. rearrange your furniture

clutter is your biggest enemy, so try to organize all your furniture and make sure whether they are used correctly, or you can reconsider their use and then combine them. They may not be suitable in the living room, but they can serve perfectly in another room or space.

Sometimes, less is more, so don't be afraid to throw away old things and let your room breathe.

try to move every piece of furniture until you find the perfect position for everything.

Try to create more than one focus in the space, instead of simply arranging furniture and walls together.

usually, there are three focuses in a space.

the first focus is the focus of nature, such as balconies, bay windows, reading corners and so on, which can be noticed by people at a glance!

(In the living room, by increasing the seating area and re-planning the functional area of the whole space, such as adding a reading corner and a small working area, the functions of the living room are enriched and the interest is enhanced)

(A tatami area with functions of leisure+reading+meeting guests is added to one corner of the living room) <

The third focus is not fixed, and we often need to create it, which may mean using some of the most attractive things in the room-maybe a work of art, maybe a sideboard with a sculpture or vase, and improving the aesthetic charm of the whole space through these artistic decorations.

3. Reserve enough space

In addition to choosing furniture with appropriate size and proportion for your space, remember to reserve mobile space. The natural flow in space is about 6-1 cm.

For example, you want to leave a distance of 45-63 cm between the sofa and the coffee table, so that there will be more space around the sofa for people to walk around.

If the space is large enough, you can also place the seat 4-6 cm away from the wall, which will create a little breathing space and make the space look bigger.

4. Pay attention to natural factors

In the layout planning of furniture, we should not ignore natural factors while paying attention to living habits.

for example, when you place a TV, you should not only consider the place to watch, but also consider the influence of natural light-first, make sure that the living room is full of sunshine, and second, avoid sunlight from reflecting on the TV.

as long as you make a good plan before buying and try some new ways to put it, believe me, you will have a brand-new good mood.
