We consider alternatives to the familiar sofa in the living room, which will make it more functional and adapted for your needs.
1 Dining area
In most Russian apartments, it is not customary to make a dining room, the dining table is trying to place in the kitchen, even if it is very small. Meanwhile, if there is a living room in the apartment, some of its square can be left under a beautiful dining area, where all family members will be able to gather together and not feel in flavors.
Do not forget that this is still a lounge, so it is necessary to work on the comfort, competently selecting textiles and furniture. You can try to choose soft chairs, hang on the walls of the picture, and on the ceiling lamps on a long cord. Then this composition will not be knocked out of the idea of the living room and at the same time unload the kitchen, where it will turn out at the expense of such a transfer to place more work surfaces and technology.
2 wicker furniture
In the recreation area you can place not only the familiar soft sofa, but also woven furniture. For example, put a woven rotangling sofa, put a thin mattress on it, throwing pillows - it turns out also convenient, but at the same time original and stylish. Such a fresh designer move will perfectly fit into the Scandinavian, Bocho and Ecosil.
Nearby you can put a woven rocking chair or hang to the ceiling hammock. Do not forget to also add pillows and a tight blanket to be convenient to sit.
The entire composition is well complement to large living plants in the floor pots, for example, palm trees or monsters, as well as a woven lamp.
3 swings
Swing can be an interesting replacement of the sofa, if in the apartment there are few tenants and they are infrequently going to all together in the living room, preferring privacy. It is also a good choice for a room with a small area, in which the sofa would take the entire space and visually overloaded it.
Swing can be rigid, woven from rods, or soft, knitted ropes. Note that it is more convenient for a long time on hard, as they hold the form.
4 desk
Very often the sofa in the living room is simply because it is so accepted. Before you start buying furniture, think about whether you get home all priority zones. You may need a convenient workplace by the window, for which it will be pleasant to work. It makes no sense to sacrifice comfort and sung with a laptop in the kitchen or on the bed in the bedroom, it is better to replace the sofa for a couple of small chairs, and the vacant space to take off under a beautifully decorated writing desk.
Do not forget about the decorative component - the workplace should be decorated and the highlight of the living room. Use posters, plants, wall stickers and other accessories to create the right atmosphere.
5 Chair or chair
If the living room is small, but it needs to place a large wardrobe or several distracted zones, the place to rest can be made very concise and miniature. For this, a large soft chair is suitable in the corner, complemented by bookshelves. You can put two chairs nearby and supplement them with a miniature coffee table. Such a composition looks easier and does not clutter the space. In addition, depending on your needs, the chair can be transferred to another room or arrange in the living room in different ways.
