Tips and Tricks
What's the difference between an ottoman, a stool, and a pouf?
Ottomans often have storage and can serve as footrests or tables, stools are for seating and can be tucked away, and poufs are soft, versatile pieces without storage.
Can ottomans be used as coffee tables?
Yes, with a sturdy surface or tray, ottomans can double as coffee tables and offer additional seating or storage.
How can I choose the right size ottoman for my space?
Consider the scale of surrounding furniture and the room's layout. Ensure the ottoman complements the size of the sofa or chairs it's paired with.
What are some 'design cheats' for parents looking to maintain a tidy and stylish home?
Utilize baskets for toy storage in all rooms, consider temporary storage solutions like empty kitchen drawers for quick clean-ups, and use footstools with storage compartments.
What seating arrangements work well for watching TV and conversing?
An L-shaped arrangement or facing sofas with a TV or fireplace as a focal point allow for both viewing and interaction. U-shaped or H-shaped arrangements can also provide good sightlines and conversation flow.
How can I protect my furniture and rugs from spills and wear?
Invest in furniture with removable, machine-washable covers and choose rugs that hide stains. For areas prone to spills, use a transparent floor protector under the table.
How do I arrange furniture to encourage socializing?
Position seating so that people can easily make eye contact. Consider a maximum distance of 10 feet (3 meters) between seats to facilitate conversation without shouting.
How much space should I leave for walkways in my living room?
Allow 30 to 36 inches of passageway between furniture pieces for comfortable movement, and ensure that sofas do not take up more than two-thirds of the room's size.
How much space should be allowed around furniture in the living room for optimal flow?
Ensure at least 36 inches (91 cm) of clear passageway around living room furniture for easy access and movement within the room.
