How to Select Furniture for your Living Room

In the market for living room furnishings? Whether you’re seeking to refresh your space with a new couch or starting from scratch, our comprehensive guide has got you covered.

While they say the kitchen is the heart of the home, let’s be honest, we all know it’s the living room! We spend a significant amount of time in our lounge area, unwinding, watching TV, and now, possibly even working from home. Therefore, our living room furniture needs to be functional and durable, in addition to looking stylish and fitting our budget. In this guide, we address everything, from choosing a living room furniture style to practical tips on what to consider when purchasing your pieces.

Once you’ve nailed down your living room furniture, if you’re in need of fresh living room ideas, be sure to check out our gallery next.

What Type of Living Room Furniture Do You Require?

The key essentials for most living rooms are seating options – our guide to the best sofas of the year will assist you in finding stylish, comfortable, and affordable choices. Additionally, you’ll need storage solutions, a designated area for the TV and home technology, as well as occasional tables. Homes that have separate TV rooms or even home theatres can skip certain items on the list. However, for the majority, incorporating all these elements is necessary to create the best living room layout. 

What Style of Living Room Furniture Should You Choose?

The rigid formula of a three-piece suite and matching wooden cabinets and coffee tables has given way to a more relaxed approach to assembling a living room furniture ensemble. Contemporary furniture, Mid-century designs, and vintage pieces can all harmonise beautifully. Rather than adhering to a specific era, consider the overall aesthetic. How can you make it work? Instead of sticking to a single furniture range, opt for the same type of wood throughout, perhaps with a standout piece in dark wood or a painted finish while the rest remains light. Also, pay attention to the furniture’s silhouettes. Are curved lines preferable for sofa legs and overall shapes, as well as for side tables and armchairs? Or do the elongated and low profiles of contemporary purchases better suit the room? Repeating colour or material details can also help unify the selection. 

How to Select Sofas and Armchairs For Your Living Room?

When choosing upholstered pieces, decide on the sofa and armchair configuration that best suits your space. A corner sofa can help define the seating area in an open-plan living space and incorporating a chaise end creates a coveted relaxation spot.

For added flexibility, consider a pair of sofas that can be arranged at a right angle to foster a sociable arrangement or provide optimal TV viewing angles for everyone. On the other hand, positioning a matching pair of sofas facing each other creates a formal ambiance, ideal for rooms used for frequent entertaining.

Selecting the Best Living Room Furnitures in UK: A Guide

We’ve heard that the kitchen is considered the heart of the home, but let’s be real, it’s the living room that steals the show! Our lounge is where we spend countless hours, unwinding, catching up on TV shows, and now even working from home. That’s why it’s crucial to choose living room furniture that not only looks stylish but also fits your budget and stands the test of time. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything from selecting a living room furniture style to practical tips for making smart purchases.

Once you’ve nailed down your living room furniture, and if you’re seeking fresh ideas, head over to our gallery for inspiration.

WHAT FURNITURE IS ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR LIVING ROOM?

When it comes to most living rooms, seating is the top priority. Our guide to the best sofas of the year will assist you in finding stylish, comfortable, and affordable options. In addition to seating, you’ll need storage solutions, a designated spot for the TV and home technology, and occasional tables. If you’re lucky enough to have a separate TV room or even a home cinema, you can skip some of these items. However, for most living rooms, accommodating all these elements is essential for creating an optimal layout.

WHAT STYLE OF LIVING ROOM FURNITURE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Gone are the days of strictly adhering to a formula of a three-piece suite and matching wood cabinets and coffee tables. Nowadays, there’s a more relaxed approach to assembling a combination of living room furniture. Contemporary pieces, mid-century designs, and even older items can be seamlessly blended together. Instead of sticking to a single era, consider the overall look you want to achieve.

How can you make it work?

One option is to opt for furniture made from the same wood throughout, with a standout piece in dark wood or a painted finish while the rest remains light-colored. Also, think about furniture outlines. Do curved sofa legs and overall shapes or the long, low profile of contemporary pieces suit your room better? Repeating certain colors or materials can also help tie the selection together.

HOW TO SELECT SOFAS AND ARMCHAIRS FOR YOUR LIVING ROOM

When choosing upholstered pieces, consider the sofa and armchair configuration that best suits your space. A corner sofa can help define the seating area in an open-plan living space and adding a chaise end can create a highly sought-after relaxation spot.

Alternatively, a pair of sofas arranged at a right angle can create a sociable arrangement or ensure everyone has a good view of the TV. On the other hand, placing a matching pair of sofas facing each other creates a formal ambiance, ideal for rooms used for frequent entertaining.
