Types of Living Room Furniture

Home decorating can be a challenge. The living room is typically where your guests spend most of their time, so it is usually the number-one interior decorating priority. It's important to know what furniture options are available to you when you design your living room.
  1. Sofa Bed

    • Also known as a convertible sofa, a sofa bed is a couch/sofa that converts into a bed by pulling off the cushions and pulling out the folded mechanism beneath them. It's a great way to accommodate overnight guests.

    Sectional

    • Sectional furniture comes in complementary pieces that you can use together to form one large piece of furniture, depending on your needs. It is typically upholstered couches, recliners and ottomans.

    Ottoman

    • An ottoman is an upholstered seat without a back or arms. It sits very low, and its predominate use is as a footstool.

    End Table

    • Typical placement for this small table is next to a couch or chair. The purpose of an end table is to house table lamps and provide somewhere to conveniently set drinks or other small items you may bring into the living room.

    Curio Cabinet

    • A curio cabinet consists of several shelves encased in glass with a glass door in the front. Designed to fit in the corner, curios usually take up a limited amount of space. Their purpose is to display collectibles or other items you want people to see.
