When possible, use symmetry. Sofas should be placed such that they face each other. To finish the setup, place a coffee table in the center. Coffee tables can also be placed diagonally. Symmetry offers your living space a finished and organized appearance.
Another option is to use dual entrance doors. This will allow people entering through one door to go directly into another without having to pass through the living room first. Make sure these doors are large enough for a person to walk through comfortably.
A third option is using multiple rooms connected by a hallway. This would require a lot of work to create an appealing look but could be done. The advantage is that it allows people to enter different parts of the house without going through the main living area.
Finally, you can use furniture to hide the fact that these are actually two separate rooms. For example, you can put a sofa in front of the double entrance door to make it look like there's only one way in/out. Or you can cover the window where the second entrance door leads to by placing a bookcase or antique cabinet next to it.
These are just some ideas. You may want to consider other options before deciding what kind of arrangement will work best for you.
Maintain a straightforward approach. If your living room is tiny, keeping things simple by facing the sofas opposite of one other is your best approach when arranging two couches. This arrangement works well with couches in the center of the room or with one couch against a wall.
Make sure you like the people you live with before you move in together. A roommate relationship can be challenging at times, but if you're not compatible then it's better to go your separate ways rather than trying to make it work. Living together without the love and respect we show each other is a bad idea from the beginning; it will only lead to problems later on.
Have a clear definition of what role you will play in relation to your furniture. Will one of you be the main contributor while the other merely uses their space? Or will one of you be more of a loner who doesn't mind being alone most of the time? It's important to know the answer to these questions before you start sharing space together. Otherwise, you might find yourself in a situation where you feel uncomfortable about someone else's choice of furniture!
Don't let your friends and family know what kind of person you are before you move in together. They want you to be happy, but they don't want to see you get hurt first.
Arrangement in the Open In a big space or when all of the seats must face in the same direction, such as in a home theater, the L-shaped sectional and couch can be put next to each other. Place the sofa, for example, adjacent to the long end of the L. The armless chair can then be placed opposite the couch, at its shorter leg.
In a small space or when some of the seats can face away from the others, such as in a study or bedroom, the L-shaped sectional and couch can be placed side by side. Put the sofa, for example, next to the short end of the L, with the armless chair facing out into the room.
Both options allow you to use both spaces efficiently while still giving your audience plenty of seating.
To ground the seating space and keep the distinct portions from feeling isolated, unify separated sectional pieces with a wide area rug. Take into mind any elements of your couch that have a reclining back or an extensible footrest when planning your room layout. These features will help create a more cohesive look if used in the right positions.
Sectional sofas are easy to arrange in spaces of all sizes. Just like regular sofas, the pieces can be placed against a wall for support or tucked under a table or desk for protection and extra storage space.

The most important thing to remember when separating a sectional is to choose pieces that match in weight and texture for a balanced appearance.
Have you ever separated a sectional sofa before?
To create a square-shaped furniture plan, place a couch and a loveseat facing one other, with a set of similar chairs opposite each other. In the center of the arrangement, a huge, circular ottoman serves as a convenient surface for snacks and beverages.
Couches are expensive, so don't spend all your money on one piece of furniture. Instead, pick up two smaller couches or a loveseat and chair set. This way, you can give some of your money away while still having enough left over for coffee tables and lamps.
If you want to add more seating capacity without spending too much money, try out some barstools. These are inexpensive and easy to find, so they're good options if you need more seats but don't have a lot of money to spend.
In conclusion, a small living room doesn't have to be boring or constricting. Use these tips to help you come up with an arrangement that's comfortable for you and your family.
