Because of the layout of the vertical hall, we have developed the habit of putting sofas against the wall for decades.
The vertical hall only has one side of the living room for lighting, with a large depth and poor lighting and ventilation conditions.

At present, improved houses with an area of over 1 30 ㎡ are very popular, and more and more horizontal halls have been designed. Turn the vertical hall 90 degrees and you will find the horizontal hall. The living room and dining room are on the same daylighting surface. Deepening, the pattern is more open.
The bedroom and study are on the other side. Isn't the lighting bad? No, because the depth is small, the light can penetrate from the south to the bedroom at the back, as long as the physical partition does not block too much.
Moreover, during the day, we spend more time in the guest room, all of which are in the south with excellent lighting and better living comfort.
However, the first reaction of many people to get the horizontal hall is at a loss, because it is completely different from the vertical hall we are used to.
In fact, the open space of the horizontal hall is larger, and there are more flexible and diverse design schemes, and there is no aisle to occupy space, so the room rate is higher, and the sense of space and fashion is stronger.
1 The horizontal hall has a large space. If it is only a guest restaurant, there are generally two design methods: one is that the sofa is against the wall, the other is that the TV is against the wall and the sofa is partitioned.
? A sofa against the wall
Sofa against the wall, according to the dining table-TV-sofa layout.
Many people are not used to the sofa not leaning against the wall, and there is also a saying in Feng Shui that there is a backer against the wall.
If the sofa is against the wall, the TV cannot be against the wall. Either put it in the middle at will to create a casual home atmosphere, or make a fake wall to give the TV a place to live.
You can also put the sofa sideways by the window instead of making a fake wall. The TV can be installed on the wall opposite the window.
? Put the TV against the wall
The TV is against the wall, according to the layout of dining table, sofa and TV.
But now more and more people can accept that the sofa is not against the wall. Putting the sofa horizontally in the middle as a partition is more natural than building a fake wall and blending into the whole space.
If you are worried that the sofa will fall down, you can also put half a cabinet behind the sofa for storage, or directly hit the desk and bar, which not only enriches the functional area, but also makes the sofa more reliable and psychologically safer.
If the city permits, and the eating habits at home are relatively light, you can make an open kitchen, which will form an LDK layout with the dining room and living room and become the core area of family activities.
The above is a general layout method. You can:
Firstly, determine the location of the TV, whether to make a fake wall in the middle, install it on a narrow wall, or install it on a wider wall opposite the window; Then arrange the sofa according to the TV; After the sofa area is determined, other spaces will be put with dining table+sideboard, or desk+bookshelf. 3 If you have an independent dining room and study, and want to create more other functional areas in the living room, you can consider the area outside the sofa:
Playing on the platform as a leisure area, children can roll around at will; Leave open space directly and circle a play area for children; Install slides, climb walls, etc. Give children a small amusement park and change fitness equipment into a gym; Put it on a long table and turn it into a manual table. In a word, a big space represents countless possibilities. If there are few rooms at home, you can also take out a room from the horizontal hall, but the large space advantage of designing the horizontal hall in this way is gone.
Try to use glass doors, glass partitions, glass+half walls, which do not affect lighting, or curtains, which are flexible materials, to build rooms.
