Ideas & Advice
Furnishing and decorating small living rooms can be tricky. However, using sectionals in these spaces can help you optimize seating and create a comfortable space. Before you decide on a sectional, it can be helpful to seek out ideas of how other people use them in small spaces. That's exactly why we've created a list of our best small living room sectional layout ideas along with tips and tricks of how to place furniture and stylize the small spaces.
If you have a small living room or just a small sitting area, consider getting a 3-seated sectional similar to a sofa. The difference that this one shows is the addition of the chaise extending from one of the end seats. This transforms the sofa into a sectional, allows for additional seating if needed, and provides an extension to the end seat for daily use.
Modern sectionals and modern furniture in general tend to have lower backs and lower seating. This can help you maximize your space and complement a more modern aesthetic.
Perhaps you're furnishing an open concept layout, but you have a small space for your actual living area. In these cases, using a single sectional along with an accent chair can help create a tidy, uncluttered space. Adding an area rug to the middle of the space can also set it apart from neighboring rooms.
The sectional may have a big impact on the room's style and practicality, but any blankets or pillows you use on the sectional also influence room's overarching aesthetic. Here, the colors of the pillows inspire the rest of the room's scheme and give ideas for other accents like flowers, wall art, and window shades.

Light, neutral sectionals can help make your room feel larger than it actually is. This is a general principle of interior design; light colors can make the room feel larger and more airy, while dark colors tend to make the room feel more enclosed. Both options are valid--it just depends on what tone you want to create.
If you're determined to have a sectional in your small living room, then it's important to balance that sectional with whatever other furniture you have in the room. That means balancing the size of all the furniture, but also the colors and finishes. Here, the clear plastic coffee table provides necessary surface area, but it does so without making the room feel heavier or overcrowded.
Traditional interior design styles can feel more formal and classic. Not only can you choose a sectional that fits this style, but you can also pair it with more traditional accents. A fireplace, oriental/persian area rugs, and traditional wall art can all serve to complement your small living room's classic aesthetic.
Finding a sectional that fits your space is the first challenge. The second is gauging how that sectional encourages or limits the natural traffic of the room. With that in mind, this modern living room uses two smaller sectionals instead of a larger one to make a clear path into the sitting area. Each room is unique, so be sure to consider your room's daily use and flow of traffic when choosing any furniture.
It's important to create balance in any room, but especially small living rooms with sectionals. If you want a more complex piece of art or area rug, you're often better off choosing a simple, subdued sectional and minimizing any accents you put on the sectional.
There are many ways to place area rugs with sectionals. One way is to have the rug follow the chaise's example and extend further into the room. As you can see with this room, not only does the rug's position complement the chaise, but it also places the rug in the middle of the room and stylistically connects it to the other accent chair. In these situations, a 5x7 area rug or a similar size can complement your small sectional.
Sponged walls may be associated with decades past, but they can still work in more modern homes. They can be especially impactful in small living rooms, where they add texture to the design without overstaying their welcome.
Pattern mixing can be daunting, but doing it well is oh-so satisfying. When you're using multiple patterns in one area, look for similarities, such as recurring shapes, lines, finishes, and colors. The tribal pillows here highlight those similarities and read as stylistically similar, even though they have some differences in presentation.

Depending on the size of your room, you may or may not have room to place a coffee table by your sectional. As a general principle, you should have between 12 and 18 inches of space between the edges of the coffee table and your seats to ensure you can comfortably move and reach the table at the same time.
Oftentimes, rugs will have some overlap with sofas and other furniture. This helps ensure that the rug feels "grounded" and a part of a grand design. Even if you just find inspiration in this room and set the front legs of the sectional on the rug, you'll feel the difference in terms of a unified and focused design.
Deciding on a room's layout can be hard, but if you consider the natural flow and use of the room, then you'll have an easier time with it. Now that you've seen our top small living room sectional layout ideas and read our guidelines, you can start to design your own living room to suit your unique lifestyle.
