Larger rooms can be surprisingly challenging to furnish: all that extra space can sometimes be tricky to fill, and they can end up feeling empty and uninviting if the furniture isn`t properly arranged to fill the floorspace. But, when done right, a spacious living room can look very luxurious. You can also afford to be a bit more creative with your living room layout, perhaps even creating multiple focal points and seating areas. Here, we`ve shared a couple of large living room ideas to help you get started.
A large living room layout with multiple seating areas
This airy layout makes the most of a spacious living area by including lots of different styles of seating. A sofa, an armchair, and two footstools are clustered around a table, creating a large area for entertaining or watching TV. There's also a small breakout area with a pair of occasional chairs and a bookcase to one side, which will work well as a reading nook. Or, you could add a small table between them for board games, writing, or working.
The two ottoman footstools placed in the middle of this room stop it from feeling empty but, unlike a sofa or armchair, they don't break it up completely, allowing a clear view of the television, which acts as the focal point of the room. Alternatively, if you have a fireplace in this spot, then you could place the television in the corner.
