Photographed by Shade Degges Photography

We’re sharing our best tips and tricks for how to create a perfectly balanced living room ideal for gatherings large and small. And we’ve curated some of our favorite furniture pieces and home accessories for your shopping ease. Check it all out below. xx

 

 

 

 

1. Start from the ground up!

Find a rug that suits your space. It should be large enough to fit all furniture inside, but small enough to let some of the floor show for a spacious effect.

 

 

 

 

2. Stage the sofa.

Choose a sofa that combines timeless design with comfort. Place it along a wall for maximum space with room to breathe.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Make room for more!

Add additional seating with lounge chairs which help create a natural flow for gathering and entertaining.

 

 

 

 

4. Anchor the space.

Use a classic coffee table with ample surface area to anchor the living room and act as a practical entertainment piece.

 

 

 

 

5. Layer in decor!

Add layers of decor by incorporating textures and patterns to infuse personality and charm into your space. Experiment with varying heights and materials for a dynamic effect.
