If you want your living room to look and feel welcoming, you need a design and floor plan that aligns the use of your space perfectly with your needs. Based on their shape, long, open or square rooms all pose unique plan challenges and what might work for one space might make another look cramped or poorly planned.
Here are 4 layout ideas that you can use, based on the kind of space that you’re planning to decorate.
Layout # 1 This layout is perfect if you are restricted by a small space available for your living area, which is almost a square. It places an L-shaped sofa parallel to the dining area to maximize space. The furniture in the dining area is tied together with a spacious rug. The layout is rather minimalist with a simple entertainment unit spanning the wall in front.
