How to organize your stay? | Factory Street

Organize a large room

It’s preferable to organize the living room according to the shape of the room.

For a square living roomopt for two straight sofas placed opposite each other and opt for a square or round coffee table in the center. You can also choose a corner sofa like the Maria model available on Usine Street or two straight sofas like the Elga model, but arranged at a corner. In both cases, a square coffee table will complete your living room.

In a living room in Lit is possible to manage the two zones separately. You therefore have the possibility of setting up a lounge area and another for the dining room or your office. Be sure to place your living room in the largest area or near the largest opening to maximize its natural lighting.

For a rectangular roomconsider the possibility of delimiting the living room area by placing the sofa perpendicular to the wall. You can turn the area behind the sofa into a dining area. In this case, prefer a straight sofa like the Elga model. Choose furniture that is long enough if you plan to lean it against the longest wall or use it to separate the living room from the office area or play area.

Optimize the space of a small room

Again, the layout of the living room depends on its shape:

If you have a piece in lengthbut rather narrow, they define a square area with a corner sofa like the Rio model available in our online store. Decorate both areas with rugs to break up the length.

For a square living room being less than 15 m², opt for a 2 or 3 seater sofa to place against the wall to free up space. You can compensate for the lack of space with comfort by opting for relaxation furniture such as the Détente model. This reclining model comes with footrests that give you the comfort you need to best enjoy your books or TV shows. If you absolutely want to have plenty of seating in your small living room, you always have the option of choosing several sofas to arrange in a square.

If you live in a study or you want to have an extra bed for your surprise guests, a convertible sofa like the Fuji model is ideal. It has a chest of drawers that allows you to store bed linen and pillows under the chaise longue. Transformed into a bed, this living room furniture comfortably accommodates two people.

Several parameters to take into consideration

The location of your sofa is of particular importance given its status as your primary piece of furniture. It is therefore necessary to take into account various parameters when choosing the place in which to set up your stay:

• Determine the style of your room. Therefore, the choice of placing it against the wall or placing it in the center of the living room will influence the decor of your home.
• For your psychological comfort, be sure to place it in a place that allows you to keep an eye on the main entrance.
• You will also avoid turning your head by placing it in front of the television or your favorite painting. Placing your sofas upright facing each other will allow you to clearly see your guests during an aperitif with friends.
• The environment is also a factor to consider when determining the location of furniture. The sofa in front of a glass window will give you a beautiful view of your garden or swimming pool.

Other furniture to organize your living room

Once you have made the choice on a particular sofa model, you will be able to choose the other furnishing elements that will bring your living room to life:

• Your accent chairs can match your sofa or mismatch for a more modern style. The Détente relaxation armchair is, for example, available in different colors and materials to allow you to create your living room according to your wishes. In most cases, occasional chairs will be placed on either side of the center cabinet. This configuration will give a welcoming touch to your living room.
• Your coffee table should be proportionate to your sofa. So if you have a large sofa you need a large coffee table. However, you can accompany your new piece of furniture with several matching coffee tables of different heights and widths.
• If you want to complete your living room with a television table, opt for a model that allows you to store your DVD player, your films and your Internet station out of sight. A small bookcase will make it easier to organize your collection of books and stacks of magazines. It will also house various decorative objects.

Whatever furniture you choose to furnish the living area, remember that circulation around the sofa must be optimal. You will therefore have to take into account the space available when choosing your furniture.

The light

Light is of great importance in the design of the living room, because in addition to creating the interior atmosphere, it also contributes to the decoration of the room. Place your sofa near a window or glass surface to naturally illuminate your seating area. Artificial light sources that will come in handy in the evening should also not be overlooked. Choose a pendant lamp placed above the coffee table to optimize your decoration. You can also place a lamp at the end of the sofa or a floor lamp next to the main furniture in the living room. Their location must be carefully evaluated so that the diffused direct light does not dazzle. You can plug them into remote-controlled power outlets to turn them on or off without having to get up. Spotlights and light panels built into the ceiling are in fashion today.
