Reader’s question
"My living room is 3m x 3.80m large. Opposite the 3m wall there is open space. The fireplace is on the middle of the opposite the 3.80m wall with the chimney in a recess. I need help how to arrange the sofas. Thanks in advance."
Our recommendation
You haven’t mentioned the openings in the living room and also we do not know anything about the open space opposite one of the walls.
However, typically the sofas at the fireplace corner can be placed in an L shape arrangement opposite the fireplace. They can also be placed facing each other flanking the fireplace, in case there is a French door opposite the fireplace.
