LIVING ROOMS
Of all the rooms in a house, the living room has the fewest
constraints since it requires neither appliances, nor plumbing fixtures, nor
storage. As a result, interior designers have a great deal of freedom in terms
of the character and configuration of the space. The living room should be
designed to reflect the particular lifestyle of a family.
Typical Furniture Dimensions
Specific functional requirements and the size and shape of
the room will help set the agenda for selecting and arranging the most appropriate
furniture. Below are the dimensions of typical living room furniture. Be
mindful that the dimensions of specific pieces may vary from the typical
sizes. Furniture that diverges widely in dimension from these examples may be
uncomfortable and impractical, however.
The distance between chairs
and sofas can influence the behaviour of the occupants of a space. Two people
sitting across from each other must be within a specific dimensional range for
conversation to be comfortable. The behaviour of larger groups of people around
and across a coffee table is also affected by the relative intimacy of the
furniture arrangement.
Living Room Layouts
A typical living room can
function well when arranged according to several alternative principals
Symmetrical
Using the natural centre of a
room, furniture is placed around a common axis
Dual Axis
A cross axis will focus attention
toward the centre of a room, while other features become a backdrop.
Local Symmetry
Separate seating areas can
make a room feel larger. Using local symmetry can maintain harmony and balance
within the room.
Asymmetrical
Unrelated groupings of
furniture can result in a casual atmosphere within a room.
