Furnish Your Living Room With These Essentials
Living Room Furniture Collection
Whether you’re looking for a couch, coffee table, or just a curio cabinet to finish off your family room, we have all the living room furniture you need to decorate your home or apartment.
We carry everything from single end tables to entire living room furniture sets of a loveseat, sofa, ottoman, and recliner. That means you can either redecorate an entire room or find that last piece to tie the whole room together. And, of course, all our living room furniture---sofas, ottomans, recliners, and more---is available in a wide array of colors, styles, and fabrics.
You spend a lot of time off from work in your home, so the furniture there should be as inviting as anything you own. That way, whether you’re relaxing with friends or just sitting down to watch a little TV, you’ll be doing it in style and comfort.
Sectionals, TV Stands, Ottomans + Reclining Living Room Furniture
The living room furniture category is wide – from sectionals and ottomans to storage pieces such as TV stands, end tables, accent tables and bookcases, this selection has everything you need to complete the living room you need (and want). With such a vast set of designs to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start; to make sure you’re getting the essentials for your lifestyle, prioritize function over style first. Look for storage and seating first. (Make sure the storage is large enough to hold your daily items, and the seating large enough to seat all members of your household!)
Function vs. Form in the Living Room
When setting up your living room, function and form are equally important. You want a space that is easy to keep clean – but also feels like home. You want a space that makes you happy with the colors and materials you love – but you also want the pieces to be durable, comfortable and size-appropriate.
Finding the balance between function and form is what interior design is all about – and what makes it fun. The best way to get started is to consider function first. How many people do you need to seat on a daily basis? What about for days when you’re hosting (such as for weekend guests)? What items do you need close at hand in storage? How much foot traffic does the room see? What is the main use of the room?
Answering these questions will help you to understand the types of furniture pieces you’ll need to get started. Sectionals with chaises, ottomans and accent chairs all provide extra seating for large families. (Smaller households may find loveseats and sofas only to be more practical.) If you have a lot of books, DVDs, tech accessories and games to store, large bookcases, media centers and TV stands will do the trick; for linens, blankets and pillows, try storage coffee tables and ottomans.
Accessorizing Your Living Room Furniture
The fun part comes in the details! Once you’ve picked out the big things (tables, seating and storage), style comes into play. Rugs, drapes, figurines, and even wall color will help to shape your style.
To determine which accents to bring in, take a look at the pieces you have: what color is the coffee table? Sofa? TV stand? Take stock of material, as well; the difference between a fabric sofa and leather sofa can affect how your décor contrasts with texture.
Here are just a few ways to make your living room setup come alive:
- Material choice in case goods. Wood is the classic choice for items such as tables and stands, but did you know that metal, marble and concrete are also options? Veering away from the more traditional material into unique textures will allow your pieces to stand out. Consider mixing up the materials, too; concrete with wood and marble creates a space that focuses on the organic grains, colors and feel of each piece.
- Material in upholstery. It’s not just the tables – sofas, loveseats, ottomans, poufs and chairs can also speak volumes through material. Fabric isn’t your only option; try leather, faux leather and velvet, sherpa, sheepskin, boucle and linen! Sherpa, sheepskin and boucle are perfect for a cozier vibe while leather, faux leather and linen keep the vibe fresh and airy.
- Pops of color. Throw a blue blanket over a grey couch! Place a red vase on a brown coffee table! Adorn a white TV stand with planters of green leaves! Color breathes life. Use it everywhere you can.
- Balance it out. Two sofas facing each other, with a coffee table in between, creates a balanced aesthetic. (Human psychology favors balance. Two of one thing, placed equally and oppositely, feels satisfying!) If you don’t do it through sofas, try the feng shui principle of balance through smaller items: two vases on either end of a table, two planters on either end of an entertainment center, and so on.
- Make the seating more comfortable. While a sofa doesn’t necessarily need a side table, incorporating one makes the lounging so much more comfortable! Having a surface to place your drinks and reach for your phone completes the relaxation experience. Not to mention, a wood or metallic table against an upholstered seat creates a gorgeous stylish appeal!
- Go with unusual designs. Sofas and tables are run of the mill. What’s not are leaning wall shelves, frog statues and motorcycle bar carts. Incorporate the unusual for bigger personality.
