  How large should the couch be in my living room?

The size of your couch depends primarily on the available free space you have in the living room and then of course on the size of your family. If a large corner sofa doesn’t exactly meet your needs and requirements, try to achieve a clever arrangement with 2 or 3-seater sofas. If you have guests who stay with you overnight, a sofa bed will come in very handy. Whatever option you choose, however, your new furniture shouldn’t overwhelm the entire room.

The height of your sofa seats should be about 10 cm higher than the surface of the coffee table.

2. Side tables: If you want to place one or several side tables next to the couch, then choose those that are roughly the same height as the armrests of the couch or lower.

3. Between couch and television: Surely no one wants to go out of their way to see exactly what is happening on the screen, right? But too little distance between your comfortable leather sofa and the TV is also bad for the eyes. Find your balance, and leave about seven meters between the big screen and the seating.
