Living Room Furniture

No matter the size or style, your sofa is the most important part of the living room. Sofas are generally designed to accommodate three people, and they are often coordinated with other seating types of a matching style to fit all your guests. Sofas come in all the styles you need to create a customized look for your living room.

Adding extra sleeping space for overnight guests is easy with a sleeper sofa. These sofas have a pull-out mattress hidden beneath the sofa cushions, letting you easily transition between a bed and regular seating. These sofas tend to be significantly heavier than traditional sofas, so keep this in mind when choosing a place to put it.

If you have a large living room and love to entertain lots of guests, sectional sofas are the best way to seat everyone comfortably. These sofas usually come in an L-shape and sometimes even a U-shape for larger rooms. Whether your sectional features a simple design combining a sofa and a chaise or it incorporates luxury features like armrests and cup holders, sectionals are your ticket to comfortable living room seating.

The best seating for cozying up with another person, loveseats are built to comfortably fit two people. Because of their compact size, they are usually paired with a regular sofa in living rooms or used as standalone furniture in smaller rooms. Just like sofas, loveseats come in an array of colors and styles to easily coordinate with any living room.

One of the most versatile types of seating, futons can switch from a sofa to a bed within seconds. Some futons feature adjustable frames with a separate futon mattress acting as the cushions and back, while others have a sofa-like construction but with a back that falls into place horizontally with the seat. Your home will always be ready for unexpected guests with a quality futon.

A slim, bench-like construction makes settees distinct from sofas. These upholstered seats are the perfect fit for rooms with limited space while still accommodating two people. Settees come in a variety of styles, but a slim seat and back are typically staples of the construction.

No living room is complete without an ottoman to complement their seating. Whether it proves a soft place to put your feet up or acts as a plush coffee table, ottomans have lots to offer. Some ottomans feature storage beneath the seat to help keep extra blankets or throw pillows out of the way, while others can double as additional seating. Be sure whatever ottoman you choose is stylish and functional enough to take center stage in your seating area.

The centerpiece and focal point of your seating area, your coffee table should complement your sofa and other furniture to help tie the arrangement together. Whether you prefer an ornate wood table for a Traditional look or a glass and metal construction for a Modern style, your coffee table provides a place for food and drinks, board games, or beautiful decor to spice up your room.

Usually placed in entryways, hallways, or directly behind a sofa, a console table provides space for decorations, lighting, or storage. Use your console table to hold a lamp to light up your living room, and use the shelves and tabletop to display your favorite stylish decor. A console table with drawers for storage lets you keep items such as remotes close by without cluttering your living room.

Placed on either side of your sofa, end tables are perfect for keeping items within arm's reach of your couch. These small, sofa-height tables let you display decor or keep a table lamp close by for lighting up your couch. Pick out end tables with drawers or shelves for additional storage and functionality.

The TV is often the focal point of a living room, so choose a gorgeous entertainment center to hold your TV and media. Find an entertainment center with enough shelf space to hold your media players, game consoles, and copies of all your favorite movies. An entertainment center with a closed back or cabinet doors will help hide the cables coming out of your TV and media players.

A more minimalist take on entertainment centers, a TV stand is the perfect option to hold your TV and media in a more compact space. TV stands usually just feature a few shelves or cabinet spaces with doors or drawers to conceal your media and devices.
