50+ Clever Ways to Reinvent Your Living Room Layout
Make the most of what you have by switching up your seating arrangement.
Mark Roper
The living room is surely the heart of every home, but decorating this space can sometimes feel monotonous. For many people, the living room is a backdrop for great conversation and gatherings, so it should be designed with community and connection in mind. But—more often than not—the seating arrangement veers into basic territory: A sectional here, an armchair over there, and a cocktail table wedged somewhere in between. The results can be gorgeous, yes—but not necessarily groundbreaking. In reality, however, a living room is packed with unlimited design potential, and it all starts with your seating strategy. With a little creativity, an assortment of chairs, sofas, and stools can transform any room for the better. Here, we share 51 of our favorite living rooms, all featuring major seating arrangement inspiration.

Fire Away
While many people place their furniture right in front of or just around the fireplace, this luxe London townhouse makes a case for an off-centered layout.

Indoor-Outdoor Living
When you're decorating for an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, it's often best to keep your living room furnishings to a minimum.

Tally Up the Tables
In most living room layouts, the best seat is often the one that has an optimal vantage point and easy access to a side table. But as the living room of this Los Angeles mansion designed by Cliff Fong proves, there's strength in numbers. With plenty of seating options—and accompanying tables—every seat can be the best seat in the house.
