One of the biggest challenges about a new space is finding the perfect layout. Instead of letting your architecture determine how you arrange your living room, think about how you use the space. Since dragging a 200 pound sofa around the room to visualize it in different orientations is a total pain, my team at Modsy used our virtual photography to create three layouts in the same space, each with a different purpose.
Traditional
Create symmetry with your layout by balancing your accent chairs on each corner.
There’s nothing wrong with adhering to design basics. Traditional layouts are symmetrical, evoking a balanced energy that makes the room feel pulled together and well thought-out.
Entertaining
Two long sofas allow guests to face each other as they chat over drinks.
Love to entertain? Use two sofas to create a dramatic layout that offers additional seating for larger groups. The coffee table bridges guests on opposite sofas and creates a shared space to encourage engagement.
Conversational
A pair of chairs set away from the sofa creates a space for deep conversations.
Craving a more cozy, conversational layout? Place two accent chairs angled towards each other to enable more intimate conversations in smaller groups.
