Living Room Seating FAQ
What types of chairs work well in a living room?
Several types of chairs work well in a living room—including slipper chairs, club chairs, accent chairs, and lounge chairs—so think about their intended purpose. Club and lounge chairs have deeper seats, making them perfect for long periods of sitting and relaxing. Slipper chairs sit lower to the ground and have no arms, so place them in tight corners. If you’re prioritizing style, choose an accent chair to pair with a sofa.
How do you place accent chairs in a living room?
Place accent chairs across from a sofa with a coffee table in between if you like entertaining guests, or put one on each side of a fireplace to create balance. If you have an L-shaped sectional sofa, put a living room chair on the open side. If the room has an empty corner, you can create a reading nook by placing a chair on a diagonal with a lamp and side table.
How do I determine how much seating a living room needs?
How much seating you need depends on your family size, how often you entertain, and your living room dimensions. A good rule of thumb is to add two to four extra seats for guests. If you have a large living room—and you love to entertain—you can bump this number up to six. Just remember that the furniture shouldn’t take up more than half the floor space.
Do living room chairs have to match the sofa?
No, living room chairs don’t have to match your sofa. In fact, you’ll enhance visual interest by mixing and matching different textures, colors, and materials. You can either choose chairs in the same color palette as the sofa or go for complementary colors. Pair boucle chairs with a leather sofa or add contrast by choosing a barrel chair next to a straight-lined sectional.
