Ideas for when the sofa must be in the center of the room

How to style with a sofa in the center of the room

- Use the sofa as a divider. A wall-like sofa can be used to visually define one area from another, especially if you don't want guests to feel like they're walking into someone's living room. This is especially useful if you have two distinct areas in your space- like one for relaxing and one for cooking--and would prefer that everyone stay in their own territory.

- Create a cozy alcove with it. If you have an armchair or ottoman, position them on either side of the corner of your sofa so that they create an intimate little nook when combined with it, perfect for reading or snuggling up together with some hot cocoa on cold winter nights!

- Expand its functionality by using it as a console table instead of just sitting there taking up space: place lamps and vases on top so it feels more purposeful; add a tray filled with magazines or board games so people can sit around and play together without having to move everything off onto the floor (you could even put some flowers there too).

How to create a cozy alcove?

If you're going to use your couch as a focal point, it should be placed in the center of the room. To make that arrangement feel cozy and inviting, create an alcove around the sofa with pillows and throws. This can be done by placing small tables and lamps on each side of the sofa—but don't forget to keep everything private! If guests are coming over, you may want to turn off all of these light sources so they're not distracting when talking or watching TV together.

How to divide the space?

A sofa can be used to divide a room into zones. In this case, we're using the sofa as a divider between two seating areas and an entryway. This creates an intimate dining nook and cozy alcove that adds functionality to your home without having to add square footage or expensive furniture pieces. You can also use your sofa as a divider if you have open floor plans in your home that need something more than just carpeting but no walls left unfurnished--because everyone knows that carpet doesn't count!

Do the shape of the sofa affect the space distribution of the room?

The shape of the sofa affects the space distribution of the room in several ways: 

1. S-shaped sofas can be put in corners, but U-shaped sofas need a lot more space around them.

2. Corner sofas allow for more people to sit together at once, and they make it easy for people to talk and do things together. They are also easier to decorate because they have less surface area than other shapes.

3. Straight sofas require more space between them and walls, which means that they take up less floor area than other kinds of furniture and can fit into smaller rooms with less furniture around them.

Use color to your advantage

If you have a large space with no other focal point than your sofa, you can use color to create visual interest. Choose one or two colors that you like and incorporate them into your decorating scheme by using pillows, rugs, art pieces and other accents in those colors. This will help draw attention away from the sofa itself and create more balance within the room.

Make sure your furniture works together.

Your sofa should match other furniture in your living room (and any other rooms nearby). For example, if you have a couch set up on one side of the room with two end tables next to it, there should be some kind of continuity between all three pieces so they look like they belong together instead of just being thrown together randomly without thought or consideration for their compatibility as sets or groups
