How to furnish your living room: the essentials

Considered the central room of the house, the living room is often where everyone gathers most easily to relax and spend time together. To create a welcoming atmosphere in your living room, it's important to choose the right furniture by exploring the many options available.

An ideal sofa for a cozy and comfortable living room

The sofa is one of the focal points of the living room. Use it as a starting point to determine the overall style and atmosphere of your space. Sofas come in a wide variety of models, from corner sofas to lounge sofas to sectional sofas and sofa beds. Before choosing the perfect sofa, think about the comfort and style you want to give to your interior. Opt for comfortable and plush sofas for a rather cozy relaxation space. A modern sofa with a minimalist design can create a streamlined look. Leather sofas have a more classic aesthetic, while fabric sofas are more cozy.

Coffee table: add practicality to your interior

A coffee table or side table adds a practical aspect to your living room. There are all kinds of living room tables: coffee tables to store books, tray tables, rolling tables, or practical tables with integrated storage, as well as nesting tables for space-saving.

After the effort, get comfortable in an armchair

Like sofas, armchairs are chosen according to their design, colour, size, and material (leather, rattan, wood, fabric). They can be placed in a living room corner to create a reading or conversational nook. This adds a dose of warmth and friendliness to your guests.

Storage for an organized living room

Nothing beats storage furniture, essential to avoiding clutter and storing decorative objects in your living room. Choose storage furniture that suits your interior decoration, such as wall shelves to create a minimalist and streamlined style. Storage solutions, such as the KALLAX modular shelving collection and the BESTÅ cabinet collection make it easy to organize living spaces and give them a streamlined look.

Decorative accessories for a much more beautiful living room

To add dimension and texture to your space, add decorative accessories such as cushions, throws, or wall art. Lighting fixtures, mirrors, and decorative objects are also good choices to add personality to your living room.

Finally, consider the surface area and layout of your living room to determine what furniture you will need. Modular and folding furniture are excellent options for small spaces, while larger furniture is better suited to larger and more comfortable living spaces.

Depending on your tastes, needs, and budget, it will be easy to find the perfect, affordable furniture for your living room at IKEA.
