November 1, 2025 - Figuring out how to lay out the furniture in your home is a funny thing. When you see a room that has a great, functional layout, it looks so easy.

11 Long Living Room Ideas: Narrow Layout Design Tips I’ve Used | Apartment Therapy
October 23, 2025 - When working with a long space, it’s best to arrange seating and some furniture as well as decor crosswise whenever possible, as designers say this visually pushes the walls outward, making the room seem wider than it actually is. Instead of one sofa against the longer wall, the floor plan above uses two shorter ones, placed widthwise in the space. This layout seemingly pushes the walls outward, a trick that’s repeated with the console table behind the sofa, and the long bookshelf on the far wall.

A Guide For Great Room Furniture Placement - Studio McGee
October 9, 2024 - Side tables and floor lamps all apply similar rules to larger furniture pieces. If we do two side tables in a living room, we typically use different, contrasting pieces for more dimension, but in more traditional spaces, intentionally matched side tables can work just as well. Our Hilltop Estate project is a great place to look for an example. In the formal great room, Shea and the design team used the two sofas + two chairs layout, with a rectangular coffee table and two ottomans in front of the fireplace.

75 Living Room Ideas You'll Love - December, 2025 | Houzz
As often shown in living room photos, a bar cart, formal furniture and an eye-catching focal point, such as a sophisticated fireplace and mantel, will help achieve this look and feel. On the other hand, if it's your primary living space it should see more daily use, often functioning as a TV room, complete with sofa sectional, media console and gaming spot (that cleans up nicely for guests, of course!). In the end, think about your needs when considering different living room ideas; after all, a family with small children will likely need a playroom more than a formal sitting room.

May 17, 2024 - Here’s another living room layout idea that’s really versatile. It adds a little more visual interest with the chairs on an angle instead of straight across. It also positions chairs nicely next to a fireplace if you have one. Depending on the size of the room, you can bring the furniture closer together or further apart.

February 20, 2025 - But the same idea would work in a smaller room using smaller furniture, like a loveseat instead of the couch or accent chairs instead of armchairs. If you find a spot that you think would be good for viewing but don’t like the idea of seeing the TV there all the time, you can always use one of these ways to hide the TV.

r/InteriorDesign on Reddit: Living room layout
August 18, 2025 -

We’re struggling with how to set up our living room. It’s a long narrow room with multiple windows and entryways, and I’m not sure how to make the most of it. Ideally, I’d love to create a cozy area for watching TV.

I’m open to moving the TV (it doesn’t need to be wall-mounted; I was even thinking about putting it in the corner). I’d really like to have either an L-shaped sectional or a couch with a chaise, but I’m not sure if the room can handle it with the way it’s laid out. We also want the space to work for hosting friends/family for things like watching sports, so extra seating that feels inviting would be great.

I’ll attach pictures and dimensions in the comments for reference. Any layout suggestions, furniture recommendations, or creative ideas are welcome!

Thanks in advance
