If your living room is large enough in size to accommodate a sectional, you're in luck! Sectionals are great for hosting guests for game nights and movie marathons, and they're super comfy to plop down and nap on, too. If you've been wondering just how exactly to station a sectional in your space, you'll want to keep reading. These 22 sectional setups are worth exploring as you consider sectional layout, color, size, and much more.

Sectional living room ideas are a favorite solution to the space’s seating. Comfortable, spacious, and versatile, a sectional also makes a fabulous focal point for the room.

Of course, the right style of sectional is key to pulling off your living room sofa ideas, and also crucial is placement within the room whether it’s a large open space, or a smaller cocooning room.

We’ve put together living room ideas with sectional to provide inspiration for your room design, and asked the experts for their advice about using the best couch for this zoned layout, too.

Sectional living room ideas

Sectional sofas can prove the best choice for large living rooms but also to satisfy small spaces, though you will have to work hard to ensure you are buying the right sized couch for a small living room if it's a sectional. Make the perfect style choice and achieve design success with these sectional living room ideas.

1. Place an L-shaped sectional away from the walls

While sectional living room ideas often see it located against the walls, it’s worth considering other options.

'A sectional can nestle neatly against the walls of small and large spaces alike, making the most of empty corners. When used in the center (or positioned away from the walls) of a bigger open plan room, this style can work to break up the overall space and create an inviting and flexible area that encourages easy conversation and relaxation. Use a footstool or coffee table (or both) to complete the zoned area,' says George Miller, home designer at Neptune .

Whatever your living room paint ideas, a neutral sectional will complement perfectly and, for a modern look, go low. 

'This sectional is ideal for those who love a minimalist approach in their living rooms. A cream design will go with any existing scheme and its low slung profile, no feet and great depth makes you want to get cozy on it instantly,' says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor, Homes & Gardens.

3. Use a sectional for zoning

Consider a sectional to make designing a living room with generous proportions easy.

'This large sectional holds its own in this open plan space and it's helped by the navy rug which grounds the area. If you do use living room rug ideas in this way (and I always would), make sure it's big enough for the sectional, armchairs and coffee table to all fit within its four corners,' says Lucy Searle, global editor in chief, Homes & Gardens.

4. Customize your sectional to suit your space

The flexibility of sectional living room ideas can be a boon if you’re following living room feng shui principles, while customization provides ultimate versatility.  

'Make your piece truly your own by customizing it to suit your room. Versatile and elegant, these pieces have been carefully considered by our design team and manufactured to the highest quality to ensure superb comfort,' says Tricia Guild, founder and creative director at Designers Guild . 

5. Change sectional layout throughout the day

Minimalist living room ideas can still provide flexibility, as this uncluttered space shows.

'Over recent years, as the emerging trend for open plan living grew in tandem with a shift to hybrid working, it’s no surprise that boundaries throughout the home have become increasingly blurred,' says Sabina Miller, director of buying at Heal's . ‘Flexible pieces of furniture can be used to create zones within your space and help to create a more structured, multifunctional way of living.

‘A sectional L-shaped configuration is a great way to create a natural boundary between two spaces without blocking natural light or having a physical barrier that closes up the room. This can be particularly beneficial when space is at a premium, such as a flat with a shared kitchen, office and living space, and keeps an element of fluidity whilst separating the functionality of a room. 

‘For the ultimate flexibility, a modular sofa design, such as the Lilli Sofa by Heal’s, can be arranged to suit your changing lifestyle needs throughout the day. Whether you need a spacious setting for entertaining friends, a cinema-style set up for movie night, or just want to chase the summer evening sun, having the option to easily adapt your living room layout is perfect for modern day living,' says Sabina Miller, director of buying at Heal's.

Brown couch living room ideas really suit the shape of a sectional sofa, and you can really relax with cozy living room ideas that keep drinks right at hand.

'The client wanted a cozy TV snug that was also practical, so we designed bespoke cocktail tables that connected to the sectional sofa. We also designed bronze inserts into the sofa arms to be used as trays,' says Lucia Caballero, founder and creative director, Caballero . 

7. Turn an L-shaped sectional into a U shape

Broken plan living room ideas divide rooms into small areas without compromising the open feel, and a sectional can perform this function.

'A sectional is exceptionally great for scaling out a living room. Offering the most amount of seating and a less traditional style than the typical sofa and lounge chairs, a modular sofa opens the floor to a more intimate living space, while also prioritizing functionality and creativity,' says Leslie Murphy, owner and creative director at Murphy Maude Interiors . 

8. Consider a sectional instead of two couches

(Image credit: OKA )

If you’re looking for living room layout ideas for compact spaces, a sectional can be a problem-solver.

‘In a smaller sitting room, it can be tricky to squeeze in enough comfortable seating for you and your guests. I find that a corner sofa, such as our Lamorna, are a great solution for this; they provide lots of seating but take up far less space than two whole couches, and, when layered up with plenty of soft velvet cushion covers, can help to create a cozy setting,' says Sue Jones, co-founder and creative director at OKA . 

9. Add color to an all white scheme 

(Image credit: Dan Duchars)

Consider a color that pops among your sectional living room ideas to make it an even more attention-grabbing feature. Blue couch living room ideas are perfect against white walls.

'Believe it or not, sectionals are very versatile – they can work away from walls, they can stand alone to zone an area, or be tucked into a corner to maximize space like this sky blue design in a coastal home,' says Melanie Griffiths, editor, Period Living.

Don't underestimate the wide variety of designs you can choose from when you’re contemplating living room ideas with sectional.

'There literally is something for everyone. This contemporary design is a statement piece that looks fabulous in a period house. Keep the rest of the scheme simple so it takes pride of place,' says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor, Homes & Gardens.

Is a sectional good for a living room?

A sectional can be a very good choice for a living room. ‘Sectionals can provide generous seating,’ says Lucy Searle, global editor in chief of Homes & Gardens. ‘And although they might seem like an obvious choice for a larger living room, they can prove space saving in a small living room as you don’t need to be concerned by space between a number of individual armchairs or couches.’

Are sectionals outdated?

Sectionals aren’t outdated, and are worthy of consideration as well as individual couches, and other seating. ‘There’s always a place for living room seating that can be comfortably shared by the whole family and friends,’ says Lucy Searle. ‘And a sectional is no compromise in design terms with a plethora of shapes, height and fabrics available to suit the room’s aesthetic. ’

Small living room: 15 tips for design and layout

It is not easy for designers to work with small rooms, especially if family and guests spend most of their free time in the living room. How can you make a small room spacious and at the same time organize a sufficient number of seats? What furniture to choose and where to put it? Here are 15 design tips and 10 layout ideas to help you make the most of your small living room space.

1. Use mirrors and wallpaper
In a small living room, especially if there is little light in it, you can feel like you are in a box. Place accents, add light and depth with wallpaper and a mirror, which is better to hang opposite the window - this will create the feeling that another window has appeared in the room.

Layout: The sofa is pushed close to the wall, Number of seats - 2 (+1 if it is allowed to sit on the pouffe).

2. Set up hidden storage spaces
Choose furniture with built-in storage to keep things organized. A chest or ottoman with a drawer inside can serve as a coffee table. Hang small cabinets around the perimeter of the room or put a low chest of drawers instead of a console table.

3. Choose small-sized furniture
After all, for living rooms there are not only huge sofas and awkward armchairs: in antique shops you can find very interesting small-sized furniture. Until about the middle of the last century, the rooms were much smaller than they are today. Look for small couches, two-seater sofas and chairs that will fit into your living room.

Layout: Sofa with side tables located in the bay window. Several Louis XIV style armchairs can be placed opposite, with a chest between them as a coffee table. Place an antique couch with a high headboard diagonally from the sofa, and opposite - a small console table.
Number of places: 6.

4. Look Up
If you have high ceilings in your living room, take full advantage of this! Of course, an elongated room does not mean more space for guests, but it will create the feeling that the room is much larger than it seems at first glance. Turn high walls into a home art gallery.

5. Fill in the space in the corner
Oddly enough, the size of a small corner living room can be visually enlarged with the help of large furniture. How does it work? On a large corner sofa (as in the photo) many guests will fit at once. Due to the fact that such a sofa is perceived as one piece of furniture, it seems that the room is not so crowded. A modern sofa with clean, strict lines will look better in a small living room than a voluminous one.

Sometimes a large sofa is not the best option. An understated couch or a small sofa with strict lines and thin legs, because of which it seems weightless, is better.

7. Choose a sofa without a back
In an open plan room, a sofa sometimes looks better in the middle of the room than against the walls (unless it is a small sofa in the middle of the room) - it will visually reduce the space. A backless sofa will add some seating, and in a larger room it can separate two seating areas.

8. Arrange the plants
Like wallpaper with mirrors, plants are a great way to add depth to a small living room. Bright greens will soften the corners, create the effect of additional space and visually enlarge the room. It is especially effective to put pots with plants in the corners or near chairs and sofas.

9. Buy multifunctional furniture
In a small living room, use all the furniture. For example, ottomans or stools can be used as a coffee table or extra seating, and small side tables can be moved to different parts of the room.

Jeff King & Company

10. Use built-in storage
Don't let small furniture in every part of the room (closet there, drawer there) eat up the space: take the hard step and use the entire wall for storage. A floor-to-ceiling closet can be equipped for book storage, an entertainment system, or a fold-out desktop.

11. Consider storage space for extra chairs
A small space often doesn't fit as many seats as you need. Folding chairs or ottomans will come to the rescue, which can be stored in the closet or under the bed so that they can be easily reached when guests arrive.

Layout : Hide the TV, books and drawers in the built-in storage section, put a small sofa opposite. Place a low chair in front of the wall with sections so that it does not interfere with the opening of the door.
Number of places : 3

12. Break the Sofa+Armchair Stereotype
This small but stylish living room features a fold-out daybed (sleeps for guests if needed), a small upholstered couch and a window sill equipped for seating – a range of seating options in addition to traditional sofas or armchairs.

The Cross Interior Design

Place pillows on the windowsill, place an ottoman or a table nearby, where you can also sit.

Layout : Put the couch next to the sofa-couch, between them - a transparent plastic coffee table and a fur ottoman, on the other side of the room - a window sill with seats.
Number of seats : 7.

Kasha Paris

13. Forget the sofa
Who said that the living room must have a sofa? If there is very little space, try arranging three or four chairs around a coffee table. For greater functionality, you can use an ottoman with a tray on top as a coffee table.

Layout : Place a low round coffee table in the center of the room with three chairs around it.
Number of seats : 3-4

Coddington Design

14. Buy "invisible" furniture
Plastic, glass or plexiglass are great for small rooms because furniture made of these materials does not take up visual space.

15. Arrange low seating in front of the fireplace
A pair of cute little stools or ottomans in front of the fireplace will not block the main element of the living room - the fireplace - but will give the room more comfort. And even better if the ottomans have a place to store things.

Layout : Put a couple of armchairs in the bay window, a soft Chesterfield-style leather sofa against the wall opposite the fireplace, and an elegant coffee table. Place a pair of upholstered ottomans with storage drawers in front of the fireplace.
Number of seats: 7.

Design of a small hall (16 photos), options for the interior of a small hall in an apartment

The housing issue played a cruel joke on the Russian language. The aristocratic names of some premises inadvertently moved into the worker-peasant, and then post-perestroika life. So, the largest room in an apartment or house began to be called the hall without hesitation (the hall was once a front room for receptions). In Soviet times, the "hall" became a stable regional synonym for a room for relaxing and receiving guests. Already without any reference to the area.

Although “small room design” sounds ridiculous, it is actually a huge problem for owners of tiny living rooms. Let's see how designers solve a similar problem in their projects.

Irina Krasheninnikova

Let's define the task
The design of a hall in a standard apartment strongly depends on its functionality. The room can be either isolated or part of a combined room with a kitchen (as in the photo), a dining room, a hallway and even a bedroom.

First, let's deal with merged spaces. If you have an isolated room, scroll to the tenth photo.

DaDa-studio

Zoning is everything!
The open floor plan allows the brain to "deceive": instead of a tiny kitchen, bedroom, hall, you always have a large room. And its purpose depends on the part that you are currently using. Sit on the sofa - this is a large living room for you, dine - a spacious dining room (and further down the list).

But then you can no longer think only about the "interior of a small hall." It is integrated into the overall picture of the room. And now the question is how to use zoning techniques to highlight the functional part we need without destroying harmony.

Photo idea: forged gratings were used for zoning. The same, but miniature, serve as a screen for the heating battery.

1. Accent wall
If the living area in a large room consists of a sofa and a table, it may not have enough "weight" to attract attention. In this case, they often make an accent wall behind the sofa. In the project in the photo, the living room in the room combined with the kitchen was identified with the help of a phytowall. And a bright sofa, of course.

3. Counter and island
One of the best ways to separate the living room from the kitchen without building partitions is to place a bar counter on the border and move the sofa to it. A TV or projector screen can be seen from both halves of the room.

A blind bar counter can separate the living area from the hallway or corridor. It can also be used to store books, magazines or other things. If the configuration of the premises allows, a kitchen island is sometimes placed instead of a rack.

on the picture. Kitchen cabinets, as well as upholstered furniture in the hall, are selected according to the principle of contrast.

5. « Air » partition
You can isolate the living room with partitions - but only partially, so that the feeling of a common space remains. If there is only one window in the room, it is better to make the partitions let the light through - for example, as in this photo. Or put the rack (we wrote about them in detail in the article at the link below).

6. Through rack
If you need to separate a part of the room (for example, the living room from the entrance area), the right furniture will help out. We look at the photo - the top is lightweight, the bottom is closed: with spacious storage sections. Be sure to securely attach the rack to the wall or ceiling.

Krasyuk Sergey

An important rule for small rooms: do not put things on the shelves close to each other - leave gaps between the items. Closely standing books only add visual cramping to the room.

Salmon Lair

What to do with the isolated room?

Technique 1: Distract with bright
The design of a small room does not like redundancy - neither in details nor in colors. Other methods will help get rid of tightness. One of them is to take the attention away from the size and switch it to a bright spot of color. If you choose a neutral light background for bright furniture, "there will be no overload." The project in the photo is tiny, read about it in the article at the link below.

Gleb Polonsky

Technique 2: Play likeness
Not everyone likes cheerful bright colors in the living room. Then there is another option - to work on the nuances of the same color and color transitions. You can use any shade "in white". Choose what you like: shades of white, gray, earthy, natural - any will do!

Ekaterina Fedorova

Reception 3: Deep tones
Usually this method is advised for a small bedroom, but it works great in a small living room too. We use dark colors, following two rules. First, choose dull, matte shades - they will add depth to the room.

Secondly, we are looking for contrasting furniture for such a background. If everything is made equally dark, you get a closet.

Tim Barber Architects

Tip 4: One Color
Another surefire option is to paint the walls, floor, and ceiling the same color. The effect of expanding space is based on the erasure of boundaries. The eye simply does not see them, space for it is like space. It works equally well with light and dark colors (the latter is more difficult to believe, because the proof is in the photo above).

TS Design | Taras Bezrukov and Stas Samkovich

Reception 6: White furniture
The most airy furniture is white. If you feel that the space will be overloaded with colors and details, pick up at least part of the decor in white.

Another trick - thin legs and frames (the more massive the support, the more massive the object seems). In a small room, you need to do exactly the opposite: hang everything you can to free the floor. Or look for furnishings on thin legs.

ABOUT THIS…
Good question: Why does the interior seem overloaded?

Margarita Mustafina

More furniture tricks
1. Hang up.

2. Buy transparent.

3. Buy a folding one (for example, a transforming coffee table).

4. Buy a retractable one like matryoshka tables (example in the photo above).

Nina Frolova

And other ways to confuse
Other methods also give the effect of blurring boundaries. For example, the transition of flooring to the wall (see photo above).

Anna Kovalchenko Interiors

An interesting technique is dividing the wall with the help of color. The geometric play gives additional volume, and the interior does not look as flat as if it were just plain. Try to mentally remove the "blue spot" - it becomes boring.

Anna Tyutina

Illumination along the perimeter of the ceiling makes it a couple of tens of centimeters higher. Please note that it was not the real contour that was highlighted - the border of the wall and ceiling, but the artificially created "internal" perimeter.

Elvira Stankevich

White furniture has every chance to “merge” with white walls and dissolve into space.

Definitely not worth doing

  • Painting the walls in open (clean) and sonorous shades - they will visually reduce the room. Choose the right bright furniture and a neutral background.
  • Get carried away with glossy finishes in poor natural light.
  • Make a floor with an active ornament. The more neutral the floor, the less the eye notices it and the less it reads the geometric dimensions of the room.
  • Doing drops, transitions and highlights on the ceiling for the sake of decor is not the right goal.

Inna Soltmann | Interior design and decoration

Where to put the sofa?
You rarely see a living room without a sofa. It is clear why - the composition of the room is usually built around its impressive mass: light, furniture, textiles, etc.

There are two strategies: the most impressive piece of furniture should be placed out of sight (so that it is least visible from the entrance). For this reason, wardrobes are built in and dressing rooms are made. For the same reason, they are looking for the wall for the sofa, where it is not immediately visible from the entrance to the room.

The second strategy (how designers work): make a compositional center with the sofa. Without a clear compositional center, the interior of a large or small hall will look chaotic and sloppy.

ChDecoration

A sofa can be built into the walk-through living room by using a niche around the window. True, you will have to resolve the issue with the battery - transfer or make holes for air exchange.

See how elegantly the shelves are hidden along the edges of the window slope.

Olga Shangina | Photography

Another option is to create an artificial niche (for example, between cabinets) and build a sofa into it. This arrangement allows you to place a mezzanine on top of the entire wall - and remove questions about additional storage spaces.

How to choose a sofa
There are several rules for choosing a sofa in a small room. Firstly, you should not take massive upholstered furniture - it should be proportional to the size of the room. Secondly, it is advisable to choose sofas without high backs and armrests - they eat up useful volume (a good option is shown in the photo).

Thirdly, modular systems are preferable, which can be turned into a bed and several armchairs. An illustrative example is in the next photo.

Sofa and/or armchairs?
The feeling that armchairs take up less space than a sofa is a mistake. By the number of seats, they will always yield. In addition, the sofa is also an extra bed for guests. The strength of chairs lies elsewhere.

How to arrange furniture in the hall of a small apartment is a matter of priorities. If a large TV or screen is planned in the living room, you can get by with one large sofa. But if you are designing the design of a small meeting room, put chairs: at least one in addition to a small sofa.

Julia Karagodina

Psychological moment: people communicate better when they see the face of the interlocutor. Armchairs around the table are always intimate and cozy.

Tatyana Afanasyeva

Two small sofas look lighter than one big one, especially the corner sofa. With this arrangement, you can do without chairs.

Liza Rachevskaya Interiors

Along the perimeter or in groups
Quite often in a small living room furniture is placed around the perimeter. Attention is focused on the center of the room, away from the walls. But there are other arrangements: move the chairs so far that a wall and a plinth can be seen between them. Such a scheme “unloads” the interior, but the requirements for it are also increasing. Important: these should be elegant, not bulky items.

Daria Varlamova

Storage systems
When planning a renovation in a small living room, remember: built-in wardrobes in a small living room are preferable to stand-alone ones. The best option is to embed in the entire wall. It is desirable that such a cabinet looks like a wall, that is, it blends in color and decor. A good example in the photo is a built-in wardrobe, the facades of which are decorated with wall panels.

Many consider the wall with the cupboard to be "lost". And in vain. Just turn the sofa back to her, leaving room for opening the sash with a small margin for passage.

Zhenya Zhdanova

It's good if the furniture performs several functions at once. Choose a coffee table with adjustable height - then it can also be used for snacking. And the chest will hide things and replace the coffee table.

Ekaterina Titenko

One-third rule
In living rooms with low ceilings, it makes sense to apply the “one-third rule” – low and shallow storage systems are built from wall to wall. The trick is that if the furniture in the room occupies 1/3 of the height (up to 90 cm), the room visually appears higher and larger. But if you have a narrow hall in your apartment, it is better not to place cabinets along a long wall - otherwise the room will seem even longer.

Irina Bubnova Interior Design

Doors - higher
The interior of a small hall will look more airy and lighter if the standard doorways are widened and enlarged. Use glazing and transoms.

If doors are indispensable, match them to the color of the walls and ceiling. The fewer large color spots in the interior, the better.

Tatiana Vakueva | Abwarten!

Curtains - at a minimum
Which curtains to choose for a small room? Ideally, it is better to completely abandon the curtains and open the view as much as possible. It's not just that a bright room always seems bigger and cleaner, but also the sense of perspective that the view from the window gives.

Curtains in a small room should be light and bright, preferably the size of the window. For example, pleated blinds, Roman blinds or blinds.

Pyotr Pokrovsky

And even shutters
The windows of this living room are covered with white shutters. Take a closer look - veneered platbands on the windows hide the fasteners.

Natalia Preobrazhenskaya | Bureau "Uyutnaya Kvartira"

Design: the smaller, the cleaner
Often the design of a small hall is based on the principles of minimalism: light walls and floor, straight lines, minimum furniture, no decor. This approach is quite reasonable - it creates the feeling that there is so much space that "there is still left."

iPozdnyakov Studio

Light - local, moving
One large chandelier in a small living room is the worst option, because it visually presses from above and casts unnecessary shadows. It is better to completely abandon the central light in favor of light groups, local sources - floor lamps and suspensions.

Berphin Interior

Wallpaper - no activities
Wallpaper for a small room - not forbidden, but be careful with expressive prints: they can increase the feeling of tightness. Volumetric geometric patterns, light floral ornaments or one-color canvases with a textured pattern are preferable.

Maria Mikena

Minimalistic and monochrome interiors sometimes seem too boring. To get rid of this feeling, add textures to the interior - polished or brushed metal, carpet pile, mirror, raw wood, etc. The design of a small room will immediately become more interesting, but the volume will not suffer.

Not only minimalism
In fact, a small living room can be decorated in any decorative style. Not everyone needs air. Someone likes the intimacy and comfort of a cocoon. In any case, the dimensions of furniture and accessories should be proportionate to the room, and redundancy should be excluded in the decor. One or two iconic elements for the style - and that's enough.

Ademchic

Reflection doubling
Large mirrors can radically change the interior of a small room, especially if it has one window. It can be mirror panels, and facades of built-in wardrobes, and just decor. In any case, there will be more light and volume.

Tip: Watch what will be reflected in the mirrors - it is better if it is a window or passage. It is bad if the rack is densely loaded.

Svetlana Töpfer

One of the designers' most popular tricks is a mirror built into a niche between cabinets or between a cabinet and a wall (it's the mirror in the photo above). The reflection seems to be an extension of the room.

Pavel Zheleznov

Increasing the area is an option
Combining a small hall with a balcony is a common, albeit technically difficult type of redevelopment.
