Living room layouts with dimensions

Three living room layouts

Three living rooms drawn by the editor with a three-seat sofa (84 in). The table gives the floor inside the walls and two distances we measured in each drawing: from the front of the sofa to the coffee table and to the TV stand.

• Open the sofa facing the tv of 16 × 12 ft in the editor

• Open the conversation layout of 16 × 14 ft in the editor

• Open the living and dining of 20 × 16 ft in the editor

How to lay out a living room

1. 1Measure the room and mark the doors, windows, radiators and outlets. They decide where the sofa can go.
2. 2Choose the focal point: the TV, a fireplace or the view. The sofa faces it.
3. 3Place the sofa first, then the coffee table in front of it and the chairs on the sides.
4. 4Keep the walking path from the door around the seating group, not between the sofa and the TV.
5. 5Check it in 3D before you move anything heavy.

Long, narrow or awkward rooms

A long room works best as two zones. Our 20 × 16 ft room has the seating at one end and a table for six at the other, with the door between them, so nobody walks through the conversation.

In a square room, face the seats inward. The 16 × 14 ft conversation layout puts the sofa against one wall and two armchairs facing each other across the coffee table.

How it works in the editor

1. 1Open one of the living rooms below, or draw your own room with its doors and windows.
2. 2Turn on Interior and drag a sofa, armchairs, a coffee table and a TV stand from the library. Each has its real size.
3. 3Select a piece to set its width and depth, rotate it 90°, put it back to the wall or swap it for a corner sofa.
4. 4Look at the room in 3D to check the paths, then share the plan or export a PNG or PDF.
