Sofa, Chairs & More
Furniture is an important staple for your living room. If you’re in the market for buying new pieces, make sure to measure your space first. The couch should be the largest piece, and then make sure to have at least 2 more seats. Even if being centered around a television, make sure the seats somewhat face each other for conversations sure to be had.
Area Rugs in Living Room Design
An area rug will pull your whole living room design together. Depending on your lifestyle and family dynamic, it’s nice to have something more plush if children and teens will be sprawling out.
Lighting
