How to Arrange Furniture Around an L Shaped Sofa in a Small Room?

Explore Our L-shaped Sofas!

Perfect Sofa Placement

Position the L shaped sofa in a corner or against two walls, using its compact dimensions—typically 80 inches by 60 inches—to maximize floor space and create a cozy seating area.

Complement with a Compact Coffee Table

Choose a coffee table no larger than 36 inches in diameter or width, allowing 18 inches of space between the sofa and table for easy movement and a balanced layout.

Utilize Vertical Space

Add shelving units or bookcases with heights of 72 inches or more to draw the eye upward, making the room feel taller without taking up valuable floor space.

Slim Profile Side Tables

Opt for side tables with a width of 12 to 15 inches and heights of around 24 inches to provide surface space without crowding the room.

Use a Lightweight Area Rug

Place a rug measuring 5 by 7 feet beneath the L shaped sofa to define the seating area, ensuring the rug is light enough (around 15 pounds) for easy repositioning.

Strategic Lighting

Incorporate floor lamps with a slim base diameter of around 10 inches and heights of 60 inches to illuminate the room without taking up much space.

Add a Compact Ottoman

Choose an ottoman or pouf measuring approximately 20 inches in diameter or width and 16 inches in height for extra seating or a footrest, ensuring it can be easily moved around the room.

Hang Floating Shelves

Install floating shelves at heights of 48 to 60 inches above the sofa to display décor without taking up floor space, keeping the room open and uncluttered.

Low-Profile TV Stand

Opt for a TV stand with a height of 20 to 24 inches and a width of 40 inches to keep the room feeling spacious while providing storage for media equipment.

Add Mirrors for Depth

Hang mirrors on walls opposite the sofa, choosing sizes around 24 by 36 inches to reflect light and create the illusion of a larger room.
