No living room comes without itSofaout of. But sometimes it can be advantageous to combine this with other seating options such as armchairs, ottomans or chairs in order to create more seats for guests and an even more comfortable interior. In this article you will find out how you can combine the living room couch with other seating and upholstered furniture. We have put together some cozy and pretty examples of how to place the living room sofa and which you can also implement in your living room.
If you are looking for a space-saving option to create additional seating in addition to the sofa, poufs are the right choice. They add extra comfort to a small room, but are also suitable for a large living room. They can also be conveniently stored under the coffee table. The poufs are not just a great option for guests.
The poufs are also very suitable for resting the legs, as a side table or even as a replacement for the coffee table. And their decorative properties should not be underestimated. This knitted pouf, for example, matches the color of the living room sofa and carpet wonderfully and doesn't take up an unnecessary amount of space next to the sideboard.
A similar variant is to combine the sofa with an ottoman. Although this takes up more space, it is ultimately just as practical as the pouf. Another advantage is that it can be quickly moved into the desired position. So it can stand alone or be used as an extension for the living room couch.
If you are still looking for a sofa, you can also look for one with an ottoman that has a cover that matches the sofa. If you already have the couch for the living room, you can also use contrasting colors or other nuances to add interesting color accents. Low ottomans can also be conveniently stored under taller coffee tables.
Lounge chairs are more comfortable and can be set up and rearranged as desired and do not take up much space. Place them at right angles to the sofa and next to each other or choose the areas diagonally opposite the sofa. That again depends on the free space. Even a single chair can be a great addition.
The sofa corner can also be put together from different upholstered furniture and other seating. Here, for example, a corner sofa was combined with a lounge chair and a pouf. The pouf serves as a color accent, while the color of the chair matches the sofa and carpet. A harmonious interior is created.
If you have a lounge chair with a matching stool, you can use this piece of furniture to complement the living room couch. To do this, separate the chair and stool from each other. If necessary, you can easily place the stool next to the chair and put your legs up. Otherwise, just put your legs up when you lie on the sofa.
You can place the stools opposite the sofa or on either side. Just think about the least disruptive way to traffic in the room. The whole thing is also an aesthetic thing, so you can just try out where you like the stools the most. Fortunately, they are not heavy and are easy to change.
If the seating options mentioned above are not enough for you, you also have the option of combining two identical sofas by placing them at right angles. As an alternative, a sofa and a canapé are also suitable, as here. If it is a small living room, place the sofas with their backs against the wall to save space.
If you have a spacious living room, you can place the two sofas at a greater distance from each other but also centrally. Living room sofa in the middle of the room looks very stylish and modern and makes very spacious rooms look more comfortable because the free space is well filled. This white version is decorated with a blue and red carpet.
If you don't want to buy two sofas at once, then simply choose a corner sofa that fulfills the same function as the two right-angle sofas. Depending on the model, however, you may have fewer seats available. Place this or the combination just mentioned on two walls, freely in the room or just place one side against the wall and the other freely in the room.
The good old armchair is another piece of furniture that many people cannot miss. Depending on how much space you have, you can set up one or two armchairs. Any more would look rather unaesthetic. Do not place the individual chair at a right angle, but at an angle. Above you can see how a corner sofa can be combined with an armchair, one even has a different color. Such patchwork ideas are modern and look great.
If you have decided on two armchairs that you would like to combine with the sofa, you can place them diagonally opposite each other and create a triangular shape for the seating area, so to speak. The seating area looks very harmonious when it is opened towards the door. This is a good tip, especially for the version with an armchair.
Here you see again a combination of several variants. The armchair and sofa have an original shape and are diagonally opposite each other. The poufs serve as a coffee and side table, but can quickly be used for seating if necessary. Very multifunctional furniture with a high comfort factor!
Two sofas can be placed not only at right angles but also opposite each other. For this purpose, the sofas do not necessarily have to have the same design as here. You can also put together a great patchwork design with the sofa. You can also complete the seating area with a chair, an ottoman, an armchair or a pouf.
This idea is suitable for any interior design style. Create a harmonious interplay of furnishings with similar colors or transform the seating area into a contrasting area. Even without additional seating, the example above looks very inviting. Make sure that the walking paths remain clear.
A more original idea is to replace the sofa with two chaise longues. This makes watching TV particularly pleasant for two people because they are both facing the right direction. The upholstered furniture can also be put together wonderfully and then quickly transforms into a cozy day bed.
If you have enough space, you don't have to do without the sofa even if you make it into a chaise longue. For example, create a seating area in front of the television and another lounge in front of the fireplace, for which you use the chaise longue. Stretch your legs, enjoy the fire, read a book together or have a relaxing conversation.
