Not sure what style or layout best fits your home as you shop living room furniture with Lulu and Georgia? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Check out the tips below for ideas and inspiration as you curate a space that’s both tailored and inviting.

Designing a Living Room: What Furniture Belongs in the Mix?

A living room is one of the most dynamic spaces to design. They come in all shapes and sizes, and perhaps more than other room in your home, the furniture you choose will define how you live in and use the space. The best living room layouts strike a balance between purpose and personality. Unlike a dining room or bedroom where the furniture tends to follow a predictable template, living room furniture can be highly customized to suit how you live. Think of each piece as a building block that supports both daily rituals and hosting moments—then layer accordingly.

Living Room Chairs + Seating

Start with foundational living room seating: a living room sofa or sectional is often the anchor. Whether you choose a tailored silhouette or a deep, lounge-ready design, your sofa sets the tone for the room’s function and flow. For more flexibility, sectionals offer modular options that can work around unique layouts. You can shop all our sectionals and modular designs to find or build the perfect fit for your space.

Living room chairs add depth and intention to your seating plan, especially when styled in pairs or opposite your sofa for a conversational arrangement. We recommend exploring accent and occasional chairs in a variety of silhouettes and materials to create texture and contrast. A set of living room chairs can also be a smart solution for smaller spaces, offering flexibility without overwhelming the layout.

Living Room Tables

If the seating you choose defines how you use the space—your living room tables go toward how well you use it. A good living room should seamlessly incorporate plenty of surface space into the design. That doesn’t mean you can’t style a standout piece —we love an arrangement of modern living room furniture anchored around a statement coffee table like our exclusive Mars Coffee Table—but the shape and placement should fit naturally into the room's flow. A rectangular coffee table is a classic complement to a standard sofa (it should be about ⅔ the length) while a round coffee table allows easier movement with no sharp corners (ideal for kids).

Side tables are a great way to supplement your coffee table with a spot to perch a drink or book in reach, and they help a sofa or chair feel well-appointed—established in its place, complete. If you are styling an end table, make sure it’s in scale with whichever seat you style it next to—generally, an end table should sit just below the arm height of a sofa or chair. 

A console table styled as a sofa table or to the side of the room can also offer a useful surface. If your living room sits near your entryway, this is a perfect place to drop keys or mail—consider styling a catchall or other tabletop storage so it doesn’t become a magnet for clutter. Console tables sit at eye level when seated, so they are great for layering light with a table lamp or introducing fresh textures with a floral display or houseplant. 

Living Room Storage Furniture

A livable design calls for good storage.  While sofa tables and coffee tables sometimes feature drawers, larger pieces like a media console are a great way to bring in plentiful storage with added surface space for decor, candles, and, of course, a TV or stereo.  A sideboard can serve the same function in a more formal room—sideboards typically sit higher and do not feature rear cutouts for cables and cords. Even in a minimalist curation, be mindful of how you use the surface space on top of a storage piece—as the adage goes: empty surfaces attract clutter. If you style a vignette, remember that decor shouldn’t just sit on top of the room—it should feel like a part of the design, the glue that holds the space together.

One tip to remember is that not all storage is equal. Look at how you’re using the space now and how clutter accumulates when determining which storage pieces are right for you. A tall cabinet with shelving above and drawers below might be the perfect solution for versatile storage in a smaller room, while a piece with glass panel doors like this Colby Media Console is perfect for those constant curators. Like glass panel cabinets—or curios—bookshelves should also be thought of as a place for storage and display rather than a depository. Livable design is all about transforming practical features into beautiful moments. 

Love Your Layout: Tips for Arranging Your Living Room Furniture

Curating modern living room furniture is as much about layout as it is about style. The first step is assessing your space—what’s the square footage, the natural flow, and the focal points? A fireplace, picture window, or even a large piece of art can help anchor your arrangement.

From there, scale becomes essential. A compact room may benefit from a tight two-seater, while a larger space might need a grand sectional to feel complete. Not sure where to begin? Our design services can help you map it out based on your floor plan.

As you select your Lulu and Georgia living room furniture, consider visual balance. A deep-toned living room sofa in velvet may call for a lighter chair or side table to offset its weight in the room. Repeating materials or color tones across the layout helps bring cohesion—wood tones in your coffee table and console, for instance, or matching legs between a sofa and armchair.

Made to Order Living Room Furniture

Looking for something bespoke? Our made to order furniture lets you style a piece in the perfect tone and texture so you can build out your living room seating with a truly tailored fit. Don’t forget to check out our furniture guide for more advice on proportions and placement.

Upholstery matters, especially if you’re styling a high-traffic space. Mind the details if you’re buying fabric by the yard for upholstery projects or refurbishing—not all fabrics are created equal. Our selection of furniture grade fabrics can help you coordinate with existing pieces or ensure your new additions hold up beautifully.

Finally, resist the urge to overmatch. A unified space doesn’t require a cookie-cutter living room furniture set. Mixing styles with a careful eye makes the space feel intentional and collected—like the rest of your home evolved around it.
