In this living room, the unusual combination of a daybed and two armless chairs face each other over a narrow coffee table. The daybed gives you room to lean back against an arm and stretch your feet out toward the fire. It also assures that whether there is another entrance to the room on that side or a window, the furniture won't have its back to it.

Or three small ones. An uncomplicated triptych introduces a third accent color to this living room. Its scale is perfectly given the size of the fireplace.

Float your fireplace. By installing a freestanding fireplace into a recessed wall, it provides a three-dimensional feel as well as opportunities for glowing backlights behind the unit.

Not using a couch in living room. Do you have a living room where it seems impossible to place a sofa? Lately it seems that even in large homes the formal living room is getting smaller. Many of them are designed so that all four sides of the room have either an entrance, a window, a fireplace or a television making all options poor placement for a sofa. Open floor plans complicate things even more so that a sofa almost always has its back turned on something important. And have you noticed that when guests come over, most people seem to prefer sitting in a single chair? I know I hate being the one in the middle of the sofa being jostled from both sides. Give me my own cozy chair with plenty of elbow room! The good news is that there is no interior design law that requires your living room to contain a sofa. The photos in this ideabook all show great living rooms where the designers created beautiful, inviting and functional furniture arrangements without a sofa.

interesting LR w daybed instead of sofa

sofa

Alternative to having a couch in the living room. like the day bed

No sofa just a day bed

love the bench with the two chairs rather than a couch for the living room. bench would provide clear line of sight into dining room and be perfect for entertaining.
