1. Define Your Focal Point
Select either a created focal point or an architectural one. For instance, let’s say you’ve decided on a piece of furniture as your created focal point. Certain pieces do a much better job of standing out than fitting in. Our Antique Brass 3 Drawer Metal Storage Cabinet is a perfect example. It has distressed soft gold finish and a perfect display case to show off something you love.
Alternatively, wall art makes a truly fantastic focal point. Our Front Yard Succulent Canvas Art offers four different succulents to choose from. However, the best way to put these succulents on display is to pick up all four options. Suddenly, what only took up a 12” x 12” space will command a much larger section of your living room. Ideal!
Another potential focal point is our Tall Arched Wooden Window Frame Panel. It features exquisite architectural style and will add stunning character to your living room. Regardless of whether you use furniture, wall art, or farmhouse decor, defining your focal piece will help pull your entire room together.

2. Position Your Main Seating Area
Next, it’s time to place your largest piece of furniture across from your focal point. That way, you’ll have a balanced anchor. Even more importantly, though, is creating your conversation area. This should include putting chairs at a 90-degree angle to encourage discussion. One such example is our Cottage Farmhouse Cushioned Wing Back Chair. This is an elegant but cozy choice.
If you prefer more of a modern design, select our Fabric Upholstered Saddle Shape Ottoman. Made from wood and fabric, this decorative yet functional piece invites people to have a seat and put their feet up. Choose from neutral or green as its primary color, both of which blend nicely with its wood base.
Are you trying to bring the farmhouse style to life? Our Dusty Blue Upholstered Accent Chair features padded armrests and bronze nailhead trim. This comfortable and elegant chair will elevate your decor. Plus, it’ll make everyone want to take a seat! This accent chair comes in a lovely light blue.

3. Define Your Space with Rugs
If two people put together the same basic living room, it would still look different because of their individual rug choices. A more classy version may use our Classic Elegance Area Rug. It makes an obvious statement about what else you should expect to see in the room. Meanwhile, our Elegant Lines Shag Rug provides a sense of comfy warmth and is more modern in style.
Speaking of shag, why not combine elegance and comfort? Our Bold Elegance Shag Area Rug instantly adds a pop of color to your living room. In fact, it has a deep red tone where you would least expect it; beneath your feet! It also comes in a wide variety of sizes, so you go more subtle with a 2x3 or 4x6 option. Or, you can ensure everyone instantly sees it by selecting an 8x8 or 8x10 version.
If you’d like to create a more bohemian-styled living room, then our Ivory Diamond Jute Area Rug is perfect! This rug was artfully hand-woven and is made from soft ivory cotton and natural jute. Add an alluring decorative element to your living room space that will instantly catch everyone’s eye.

4. Balance the Room
Does your living room feel unbalanced by various furniture pieces? One solution is to balance your room with dual-purpose zones. In other words, select chairs that swivel or move around easily. A prime example of this style is found in our Modern Farmhouse Arched Swivel Chair. This chair adds a functional and fashionable touch!
If you choose comfort above all else, our Simply Neutral Farmhouse Swivel Rocker Accent Chair is ideal. Due to its neutral color, this swivel rocker also fits in almost anywhere. The best part, though, is that you can rock and swivel! The next time a rousing conversation starts, simply swivel this chair in the right direction and join in.
Is modern your style? Then you’re going to absolutely adore our Modern Swivel Barrel Chair. This upscale upholstered barrel chair provides extra sitting space. It’s quite comfy, too! Enjoy this chair while talking with friends, sipping coffee, or reading a good book. It can swivel the full 360 degrees. Please note that this chair’s weight limit is 250 pounds.
Once you’ve done all the above steps, you’ll just need to provide a clear, unobstructed path for traffic flow. Now you know how to arrange living room furniture around a focal piece!
