How to Arrange Two Love Seats & Two Chairs

Arranging furniture in your room is a simple task as long as you give it some thought before you start moving the items. It is important to consider other aspects of the room as well as the pieces you are working with. The arrangement you choose will be influenced by the size of your room and what the primary function of the room is. Love seats and chairs are relatively easy to move around, so if you grow tired of one arrangement, try another one.

Instructions

    • 1

      Draw a floor plan of your room on graph paper, with one square on the paper equalling 1 square foot of space. Mark immovable objects on the plan, such as electrical outlets, windows, doors and a fireplace, as these will affect the placement of your furniture. Mark items that you do not want to move, for example, your television or a table. Try out different arrangements of your two love seats and two chairs on the plan; this lets you experiment with layouts without actually moving the furniture.

      Position the love seats in the center of the room, facing each other. Place the chairs on either end of the love seats, also facing each other. Sit a low coffee table in the center to complete a sociable conversation area. Make sure you leave enough room between the pieces so that people can move between them with ease. This arrangement works if there is no television in the room -- if there is one, not everybody will be able to see it without twisting around or craning their necks.

      Form an L-shape with the love seats facing the television if this is the focal point of the room. Arrange the two chairs opposite the love seat that is perpendicular to the television. This layout is ideal for a large family who like to watch television together.

      Position the love seats facing each other at a perpendicular angle to the television, fireplace or other focal point. Place the two chairs at one end of the love seats, furthest away from the focal point. Turn the chairs towards each other slightly to create a more sociable layout.
