When designing the layout of a living room, it's important to prioritize clear pathways and enough space around furniture for easy movement. The distance between the seating and the coffee table should be between 40-60 cm / 15.7"-23.6", while the circulation space between and around the seating units and the coffee table should be 75-120 cm / 29.5"-47.2". Consider the natural flow of foot traffic and arrange seating accordingly, keeping in mind both access and conversation.
When calculating the distance between the TV and the seating in a living room, there are a few things to consider. First, aim for a viewing distance of approximately 1.2 times the diagonal screen size of the TV. Second, consider the room size and layout, adjusting the distance to provide a comfortable viewing experience from every spot. Lastly, ensure that the TV is placed at a height where the center of the screen is at eye level when seated, which means approx. 150 cm / 59.1".
Carpets can help anchor furniture in a living room, adding a sense of coziness and structure. By placing a carpet under a specific furniture group, such as a seating arrangement or another function in the living room, you can visually demarcate and create distinct zones within the larger space.
