Living Room Furniture: Types, Styles, & Shopping Factors
When it comes to designing a living room, choosing the right furniture is crucial to feeling cozy and comfortable in the space. It's where you entertain guests, spend time with family and relax after a long day. Let’s explore the different types and styles of living room furniture and some helpful questions to consider when shopping for your next piece.Types of Living Room Furniture
Living room furniture can be broken down into four main categories: sofas and sectionals, chairs, coffee tables and side tables and entertainment centers or TV stands.- Sofas and Sectionals: These are the centerpiece of most living rooms. They come in various configurations and sizes, from a classic three-seater to a large sectional that can fit the whole family. Try a loveseat or a versatile sleeper sofa for small spaces.
- Chairs: A terrific way to add extra seating to a living room, accent chairs can be standalone pieces in bright colors or prints or match the design of your sofa.
- Coffee Tables and Side Tables: Tables provide a place to put drinks, snacks and entertainment essentials while also adding visual interest to the room. Explore our laptop tables that slide underneath sofas to maximize floorspace, or storage ottomans that turn into tables with the addition of a stylish decorative tray.
- Entertainment Centers: If you have a TV in your living room, a media stand is a must-have. They come in a variety of sizes and provide handy organization with drawers, shelves and cabinets.
Styles of Living Room Furniture
There are many different styles of living room furniture to choose from, and whether you pick a theme or mix and match will depend on your unique taste and the overall design of your home. Here are a few popular styles and their distinguishing qualities:- Modern and Contemporary: Characterized by clean lines, neutral colors and minimalistic design. Pared-down silhouettes, light woods and sleek metal frames and glass accents are found in modern homes.
- Traditional and Classic: Often features ornate details, darker woods and rich fabrics. We picture scrolling florals, carved details and crisp linen or rich velvet upholstery.
- Rustic and Country: Warm and inviting, with natural wood finishes, distressed furniture and cozy fabrics. Our collection of reclaimed wood furniture is perfectly suited for this farmhouse style.
- Transitional and Mid-Century Modern: Combines elements of traditional and modern design to create a unique look. Splayed legs, low profiles, walnut and acorn wood finishes and jewel-toned fabrics make this style iconic.
Questions to Consider When Shopping for Living Room Furniture
Before you start shopping for living room furniture, consider these questions:- What is the size and shape of the living room?
- What is the color scheme and decor style of our home?
- What is the purpose of the living room and who will use it most?
- What is your budget for living room furniture?
- What is the expected lifespan of the living room furniture?
FAQs
When shopping for living room furniture, here are some of the most common questions that buyers have:- How do I measure my living room for furniture?
- Using a tape measure, record the length, width and height of your living room to ensure a comfortable fit.
- Be sure to also measure any doorways or hallways that the furniture will need to pass through.
-
How do I choose the right fabric for my sofa?
- Consider the color, texture and durability of the fabric.
- Leather and synthetic fabrics are durable and easy to clean, while cotton and linen are soft and comfortable.
-
How do I clean and maintain my living room furniture?
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintenance.
- Typical instructions are to use a soft cloth and mild soap for leather and synthetic fabrics, and vacuum and spot clean cotton and linen. Leather requires a lot of upkeep while performance fabrics and polyester velvet are often inherently stain-resistant.
-
How do I arrange my living room furniture for optimal use and comfort?
- Arrange in a way that encourages conversation and creates a focal point, such as a fireplace or TV. But try not to put the TV over the fireplace! It creates an awkward sightline and causes people to look up unnaturally.
- Leave plenty of space for traffic flow and consider the placement of windows and doors.
