There are many ways to layout your living room with the popular combination of a sofa and two chairs.
Here we look at the possibilities and how they affect the feel of a room.
1. Small and Elegant Living Room
This is a small room that feels open and spacious because the furniture is proportional to the space, and it has been placed at angles that encourage the room to open up.
The two chairs are horizontally facing each end of the couch which will encourage social time for those who sit in the room.

2. Luxury Layout on Area Rug
This living room leads onto various other rooms, which means there is not a lot of free wall space to push sofas and chairs against.
Instead, an area rug has been used in the middle of the living room with a sofa and two chairs positioned on it. This helps to define the area and keeps the exit and entryways clear.

3. Entertainment Living Layout
A corner sofa works great in this room to create lots of seating space for people to watch the TV or listen to music.
The addition of two chairs in the opposite corner of the room to the sofa creates the option of using the space for entertaining and socializing. There is a central coffee table which will be useful for people seated on the sofa or chairs.

3. Narrow and Cozy Living Room
For living rooms that are longer than they are wide, this layout works well. The sofa has been positioned against one of the longest stretches of walls, with two chairs opposite it on the other long wall.
The coffee table placed centrally serves to tie the furniture arrangement together as a seating area. Without the coffee table, this layout would look more like a corridor than a living room.

4. Snug and Comfy Living Room Layout
This is a square room, with the main feature wall benefitting from a fireplace and a wall-mounted TV. The sofa is directly opposite the TV wall, and a chair has been positioned at a square angle on either side of the sofa.
This creates a cozy space that appears to be set up for relaxation of hanging out, as opposed to more formal social meetings.

5. Neutral Rustic Living Room Layout
The layout of this room features two small sofas towards the middle of the room, facing each other at parallel angles. They are separated by a central coffee table, and at the head of the setup are two armchairs that form a U-shape with the sofas.
This layout helps to enclose the seating area of the room, making it feel private and cozy.

7. Seating Area Layout
A rug has been placed in front of the fireplace in this room to draw attention to the focus of the space. At one side of the rug, there is a sofa, with two chairs facing it on the opposite side of the rug.
