Living Room Furniture

What pieces of furniture do I need for my living room?

Start with sofas and chairs, which form the heart of your seating area. At Lees Furnishers, you’ll find a wide range of sofas and armchairs designed to suit various tastes, from plush, cosy options to sleek, modern designs, ensuring you can relax or entertain in style. These pieces provide the foundation for your living room, offering a comfortable spot for family gatherings or quiet evenings at home. Next, consider a coffee table to anchor your seating area and add a practical surface for everyday use. A well-chosen coffee table from our collection at Lees Furnishers complements your sofas, providing a place for drinks, books, or decorative items while enhancing the room’s overall look. For smaller spaces or additional versatility, lamp tables are an excellent choice, offering compact surfaces for lamps, books or personal items. To keep your entertainment essentials organised, a TV and entertainment unit is a must. At Lees Furnishers, we offer a variety of TV and entertainment units that combine style with functionality, ensuring your media devices, cables, and accessories are neatly arranged. Finally, our display cabinets offer elegant storage for your cherished items, while our sideboards are perfect for housing dining essentials, extra blankets, or board games.

What is the 2/3 rule for living rooms?

The 2/3 rule for living rooms is a tried-and-tested interior design principle that helps you create perfectly balanced and proportioned spaces. This rule suggests that your main furniture pieces should occupy approximately two-thirds of your room's available space, leaving one-third open for movement and visual breathing room. By following this guideline, you'll achieve a layout that feels neither cramped nor sparse but comfortably furnished. The rule applies to your floor space as well as wall coverage, ensuring that your room maintains harmonious proportions throughout. Use sofas and chairs to create natural conversation zones, with a coffee to provide a surface area for drinks and books. Understanding and implementing the 2/3 rule will transform your living room from a collection of individual pieces into a cohesive, well-designed space that works perfectly for daily life and entertaining. The beauty of this principle lies in its flexibility – it works equally well in compact flats and spacious family homes.
