How to position your couch like an interior designer

Couch not working where it is? Get creative and think outside the box to find the right locaiton for your couch, while giving your space a new feel and layout. Here are four steps to guide you: Understanding where your couch will live will make it easier to place.

For example, if your space has curved walls, placing a couch with a straight frame against the wall will feel abrupt. However, keeping it away from the wall can create intentional space around the couch. Positioning your furniture towards a focal point can help bring your space together.

Do you want your couch to face a window, a media unit or another couch even? The focal point sets the overall tone and defines the purpose of the space. You don’t have to choose – your home can be functional and stylish at the same time.

When positioning your couch, find a place that will encourage conversation, create space, and complement your other furniture instead of competing with it. We love putting a couch against a wall, but sometimes the space doesn’t call for it. It might also remove the option to place a console or extra lighting behind your couch.

Don’t be afraid to position two couches across from or perpendicular to one another to create a space-friendly arrangement. Once you’ve perfectly positioned your couch, shop our carefully curated range of scatter cushions and throws to style it.
