How to choose the right furniture size for your living room

Measure the length and width of your living room walls in meters. Note the placement of windows, doors, and any architectural features. This will help you determine the available space for furniture placement.

Prioritize multi-functional furniture like sofa beds or storage ottomans. Use a floor plan to visualize different arrangements and ensure comfortable traffic flow. Consider wall-mounted shelves to save floor space.

Aim for at least 60-90cm of walking space between furniture pieces. This allows for comfortable movement and prevents a cramped feeling, especially important in smaller Singaporean homes.

Consider the number of people you want to seat comfortably. Measure the sofas dimensions and use painters tape on the floor to visualize its footprint in your living room. Avoid sofas that overwhelm the space.

The coffee table should be approximately two-thirds the length of your sofa and sit about 1-2 inches lower than the sofa seat. This ensures easy access and comfortable use.

The ideal height for your TV console is when the center of your TV screen is at eye level when you are seated. This prevents neck strain and provides the most comfortable viewing experience.
