Challenges

The furniture is in, but the layout feels awkward

Many people only discover that a passage is too narrow or that a sofa blocks a window after the sofa and table are already in place. Moving furniture that has already been set down is also a hassle.

Our approach

Read the space first, then set the direction

We first map the relationship between the entrance, windows and circulation, then decide the direction and position of each piece. A to-scale floor plan lets you check the arrangement in advance.

About

Living room layout begins with reading the structure of the room before deciding where furniture goes. Check the direction of the view from the entrance into the living room, where the windows let in light, and the passages leading to the kitchen and bathroom, so furniture does not block the space. Recording the gaps between doors and windows at this stage makes later placement decisions much clearer.

The layout direction is mainly decided by which way the sofa back faces and where the TV or main focal point sits. We also check whether movement must pass between furniture or can go around behind it. Walkway width is generally set with enough room for people to pass comfortably.

In small apartments, it matters more to separate the floor area and height each piece occupies than to simply reduce the number of pieces. Placing low furniture near the window or arranging storage along the wall can easily create the effect of looking more spacious than it is. The final layout is organised from the floor plan and measurements, and built so it can be adjusted to your lifestyle.

Programme

Checking room dimensions

We measure and record the width and length of the living room, the ceiling height, and the position and size of doors and windows. Existing furniture dimensions are also noted.
Circulation and sightline analysis

We trace the movement routes from the entrance to the living room, kitchen and bathroom, and mark clearance space so furniture does not interrupt the flow.
Setting the layout direction

We divide the directions of the sofa, table, TV and storage into two or three options and compare them. Light direction and daily habits are considered together.
Finalising the floor plan

We organise the chosen layout as a floor plan, marking gaps between furniture and walkway widths. It is delivered so it can be used later in sofa selection or custom production.
