The living room is the focus of many people’s homes. It’s the room where you will spend most of your time – when you’re not asleep in the bedroom, that is. As such, it should be one of the most important rooms in your home when furnishing and decorating so that it’s exactly how you want it. You should consider the layout and focus of different objects and furniture as well as what you want to display there. We’ve got some ideas to help you make the living room a place you and any guests won’t ever want to leave.

Make it people focused

Even if you live alone, the chances are you’re going to have friends and family visit at some point and this plays a big part in how you lay out the room. Once you know how much space you have to work with and what furniture and style you want to have, you can start to think about how to set it up.

A coffee table is a great centrepiece for a living room as you can make sure that it’s in the middle of everyone, giving them easy access to anything you put out, whether that’s food and drink, ornaments or anything else of interest. The storage space they offer is incredibly valuable, whether its drawers or shelving space like the Dakota Mango Open Coffee Table. It also means you don’t have a large amount of open space between everyone and it can be moved easily.

If space is an issue, or you want something a bit smaller and more compact, then a side table could be just what you’re looking for. These pieces are easier to move and can be better for smaller gatherings. If you choose something like the Dakota Light Mango Trio Table Nest, then you’ll get a couple of smaller tables which store into each other, making them a much better solution for when you don’t need them all.

You want to relax here too

With so much digital and visual media available, it’s uncommon for a living room not to have a TV somewhere, even if it isn’t used very often. Technology has come a long way and you can use them to show photos or tune into radio and music if that’s more your thing but there’s no reason your TV shouldn’t be accompanied by a sturdy and stylish TV unit and we have a great selection. You can even choose the Dakota Mango Corner TV Unit to make sure you can see the screen from any angle in your living room.

A bookcase or two is a great addition to any living room. Whether you have a great collection of books, DVDs, CDs games or more that you want to show off and access easily, we have a range of bookcases that will suit your needs, from the Dakota Mango Small Bookcase to the Dakota Mango Slim CD Tower.

There’s so much you can do with a living room to make it completely unique to you and ensure you have everything you could want, regardless of the style or décor. You can browse our full range of furniture on our website at Casa Bella Furniture.
