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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
