Ideal distance between sofa and fitted wall

The equipped wall is a must-have in the living room. In fact, it is ideal for organizing the space in the most appropriate way, as it can be a bookcase, a sideboard, a great way to display decorative objects and even, in some cases, a TV stand.

How far away from the equipped wall should the sofa be placed?

A distinction must be made:

• If the equipped wall also includes a TV stand, the sofa must be placed in front of it. In this case, the distance to be observed is the distance necessary for optimal viewing of the TV, neither too far nor too close to the person sitting next to the sofa.
• otherwise, the equipped wall can be placed away from the sofa, even behind it. The main thing is not to place the equipped wall exactly above the sofa, but to leave it a meter away for both practical and aesthetic reasons.

Place the sofa in the middle of the room

Not everyone can place the sofa in the middle of the living room. The main requirement is that the room is spacious and airy.

Most small rooms don’t have the physical space to fit a sofa in the middle of the street, but even if you did, we’d advise against trying. The result will be a stuffy space that looks smaller than it actually is.

On the other hand, if space is not an issue, the sofa in the middle of the room creates an elegant and stylish environment, like an island of rest in the middle of the sea of ​​​​daily life.

You can choose a corner sofa or two sofas placed side by side, equipped with a nice armchair.

How to place the sofa behind the entrance

Usually, when the entrance opens directly onto the open space of the living area, the sofa should be placed with your back to the entrance. In general, it is better to avoid this, because the sofa placed in the middle of the room will not have its back to the wall, but will give the impression of closure.

When there is no other solution, try not to place the sofa directly in front of the entrance, but move it to the side, preferably perpendicular to the door.

Position the sofa according to the windows

The sofa under the window: yes or no? If you can't do without it, better not.

In fact, the sofa is directly related to the TV and it is known that exposing any screen to direct sunlight is not healthy for our eyes, even if the window is behind the TV and therefore in front of the sofa.

The ideal location for a window is next to the sofa. (and TV).

How to arrange sofa and TV

The natural placement of a TV is in front of the couch. But what is the right distance?

It depends on three factors: the size of the TV, the definition of the screen (HD, Full HD, Ultra HD) and the visual acuity of the viewer.

We can determine the optimal viewing distance as being directly proportional to the size of the screen and inversely proportional to its definition. In fact, when you are too close, pixels are distinguished, while when you are too far, definition decreases at the expense of good visibility.

What is the minimum distance between the table and the seat?

In the ideal room, the table and sofa should be far apart to visually separate the two areas, eating and relaxing, and to leave space to move between one and the other.

If the room is small, there are two possible solutions. The first involves arranging the room in this way: the kitchen will be on one side of the room and the table will be placed on the other side, with the sofa in the middle, to divide the two areas.

The second envisages dividing the room diagonally: the kitchen on one wall, the table on the other side of the room at the same height, and the sofa area in the opposite corner.
