Most often, when we imagine a living room, the first thing that appears is the image of a comfortable sofa, a coffee table near it, a TV, and sometimes a fireplace. But what if there is no sofa? It would seem that this simply cannot be, because this particular piece of furniture can be called one of the key for the living room. However, it is time to move a little away from the prevailing stereotypes.

In fact, if you correctly and thoroughly think through the interior of the living room, even without using a sofa it can look no less stylish and interesting, moreover, even modern. For those who are not yet ready to come to such cardinal decisions, you can start small, for example, use a couch instead of a sofa, or even two, the main thing is to take into account the size of your living room. In terms of comfort, this piece of upholstered furniture will not be inferior to a sofa, but it will look more modern and interesting.

Small living room

When the living room has a very modest size, then abandoning the use of a massive sofa is not only possible, but also necessary. Instead, two or more chairs will become much more functional and practical, moreover, it will be much more comfortable to communicate in them. It is enough to observe such a situation - when there is an armchair and a sofa in the room, then most people will try to quickly take a place in the armchair.

Using chairs in the living room is also much more convenient. They can be easily combined, rearranged if necessary, in the end it is more convenient and in terms of hygiene, because it is more convenient to wash the floor under the chair than under the sofa.

In the subconscious of many people, a sofa is associated with a television, that is, watching it. But in this case, it will be more convenient to use soft and comfortable couches, or very small sofas. It is much easier to abandon this piece of furniture for those who decide to decorate their living room in the Japanese style, because in this case they use either pillows on the floor or prefer a low sofa.
