Arranging your living room furniture can be an intimidating task, but it’s a crucial step if you want to create a functional and cohesive space.

How do you incorporate all your home furnishings and tie them together for a seamless look?
To ensure you’re creating the most practical and visually pleasing space, Interior designer Zeina Badawi outlines our top 8 tips for arranging your living room furniture.
Eight Tips for Arranging Living Room Furniture
- Begin with a Plan
- Choose a Focal Point
- Allow for Conversation
- Scale & Proportion
- Identify Traffic Flow
- Selecting the Right Size Rug
- Proper Lighting for your Living Room
- Hanging the Right Size Artwork
1. Begin with a plan
Many of us tend to shop for and select the furniture we love without making a plan. Then, when all the pieces start to arrive, the task of finding a spot for everything becomes overwhelming. Then we begin to worry about how the couch will fit? Is the bookshelf taller than you remember? Does the coffee table overpower the room? What about all these beautiful accessories?Think about the pieces you need before you choose the pieces you love! It’s easy to pick up an item and be drawn to its visual appeal without really considering what you will use it for and where it will go.
Consider how the room will be used before deciding on the number of pieces you need to buy.
What kind of mood you would like to create in your space?
If you’d prefer a more formal, elegant, casual or glamorous room: a symmetrical (one side is a mirror image of the other) furniture layout would be best.
If you’d prefer a casual, cozy or playful mood? Then consider an asymmetrical layout.
The kind of mood you are trying to achieve will help guide you to the right style and colour scheme.
2. Choose a Focal Point
Whether your home is blessed with natural architectural features or a large blank canvas, a focal point is a must in every living room. Your eye needs a place to land so if the room has a large picture window and a view or a lovely stone fireplace then you are set.
Otherwise, you’ll need to create your own focal point, something to draw your guests into the space. Try textured or patterned wallpaper to make a feature wall or a large mirror. Using a grouping of your own living room furniture can also work as a focal point. Finish off the room with a beautifully coordinated area rug.
