How to place a sofa in the room

As a rule, the sofa attaches to the wall, having along it. This is the most popular sofa positioning option in the standard room. But now the premises of the studios combining several functions at once. An ordinary thing was redevelopment of apartments in order to combine the kitchen with a living room, a living room with an office, etc. New apartment and private houses are often already built with an open layout. In the premises of this type, the installation of the sofa is not always appropriate. There are more convenient and logical options.

This is fair not only for studios, but also for standard rooms that differ in a large area. Here the sofa can be shifted closer to the center of the room or set across its length. Such an arrangement plan allows you to properly zonate and balance the space.

Sofa in the middle or across the room: for what purpose?

1. For zoning

To visually separate the living area from the kitchen, the dining room, the cabinet, bedroom, the game or passing zone, the sofa is installed at the junction of the plots. Of course, the "face" to the living room.

The sofa can be located near the wall, adjacent to it one of the sidewalls, or closer to the center of the room.

To make the area of \u200b\u200bthe living room with a more isolated and closed, at a right angle to the sofa put armchairs, a couch or a second sofa.

2. For visual correction of the form of the room

If the room is elongated and very long, the sofa standing across, breaks it into two parts. It eliminates the room from similarity with the corridor.

A serious mistake is to arrange furniture around the perimeter of an elongated room. Part of the items must be placed perpendicular to the long walls. In the living room, as a rule, it is the sofa that becomes a separating element, crushing space.

For zoning and segmentation, not only a straight line, but also an angular sofa is suitable. You can put it so that one side is located along the wall, and the other is across. This position of the sofa can be called the peninsular (side perpendicular wall, is a soft "peninsula").

3. To create a classic balance

The classic requires symmetry and balance. With this in mind, furnishings of the living room in a modern classic style is carried out. A composite center is formed in the interior (this may be a fireplace, a TV, a mirror, a large picture or something else), through which or from which the axis of symmetry passes. The main furniture is sofas, chairs, coffee tables - placed on this axis.

If you put the chairs and sofas in two opposite walls, the symmetry principle will be observed. But if the room is wide enough, seats will be excessively remote from each other, which will reduce the level of living room comfort. Therefore, in large rooms, upholstered furniture is made to move closer to the central line.

The composition of the soft group is variatives: it can consist of a sofa and two chairs, from a sofa and couch, from two small sofas, etc.

By the way. We are not very popular furnished by two sofas. However, in many cases, this option is much more convenient. After all, such a set is very flexible. Rationally and effectively place two compact items are always easier than one cumbersome.

4. If there are no other options

It happens that the room is literally dodged with door and window openings. The solid segment of the wall is sufficient to attach a sofa to it, maybe it is simply no absent. If you want to hang a TV in front of the sofa, the search for the most suitable place for upholstered furniture is further complicated.

In such a situation, the island arrangement of upholstered furniture can be almost the only possible option. The sofa is set closer to the center - so that it remains a fairly wide passage (no less than 70 cm).

Sometimes the sofa is put forward to the middle to bring it closer to the TV.

Sofa is not at the wall: rear view

Of course, you need to look for such a sofa, in which the reverse side looks as good as the facial. Unfortunately, not all sofas manufacturers provide for this, because most buyers put a sofa near the wall.
