Living rooms are the perfect place to gather with friends and loved ones and have a nice conversation or watch television. However, just having a living room isn’t always enough to create that cozy space where people will love to hang out and chat.
There is actually a method to crafting a sitting area that has maximum comfort and puts guests at ease to be themselves and maybe even enjoy a snack and beverages. Here are some popular ideas for creating comfortable seating arrangements in any living room:
Create a space for people, not things – Like many people, you might be tempted to create a living room which is centered around the television set. However, this can actually have the effect of discouraging social interaction because everyone is facing towards the television. It’s okay to have a sofa or two facing the TV set, but make sure you create other spots designed for social interaction, too.
Don’t space it out – When you have such a spacious living room and only a few pieces of furniture to set up, it can be tempting to space out the furniture evenly across the room. By doing so, however, you may be unintentionally placing people at awkward distances from each other when they sit down to socialize or eat.
Pay attention to height – Have you ever sat on a chair that’s too high for the table you’re sitting at, or been in a room where people are sitting at different eye levels? It can be quite an uncomfortable experience. To avoid this, just make sure you have chairs that are all roughly the same height, and that this height is appropriate for the type of atmosphere you’re creating.
