Where you place your sofa determines the room's balance, comfort and traffic flow. Many homeowners simply place it against a wall without thinking about proportion, angles or sightlines. Here's how designers approach spfa placement for maximum impact.
Tips:
Measure Your Room - Always use metric measurements for accuracy. Know wall length, distances between windows and pathways.
Leave Space Around the Sofa - At least 60-75cm from walls and tables ensures comfortable movement.
Create Conversation Zones - Sofas should face chairs or another sofa to allow natural conversation without feeling awkward
Balanced With the Room - Avoid placing your sofa too close to the TV or in the middle of the room unless the layout supports it.
Use the Rule of Thirds - Divide the room visually into thirds to help position the sofa harmoniously.
