Living Room

A common rule: front legs of all seating on the rug. For a standard living room, an 8×10 or 9×12 rug typically works best.

Float furniture away from walls slightly, choose a sofa over sectional, use a round coffee table for better flow, and limit large pieces to two or three.

Performance fabrics like Crypton, microfiber, or tightly woven polyester blends resist stains and wear. Avoid linen or silk for high-traffic rooms.

Mount the center of the screen at eye level when seated — typically 42–48 inches from the floor for most living rooms.

Add crown molding, swap builder-grade light fixtures, use matching lamp pairs, hang curtains close to the ceiling, and declutter aggressively.
