Having a large living room can feel like you've won the jackpot — until it doesn't. Yes, a capacious room means more space to comfortably fit the whole family, but designing a generous living area can prove challenging. No matter how often you rearrange your furniture, chances are you're left with the dreaded 'void' — a stark and empty space in the middle of your room that throws everything off balance.
When planning our living room layout ideas, we're led to believe our options are limited. The sofa is, of course, the big ticket item. From there, you introduce a few accent chairs, a coffee table, a couple of side tables, a floor lamp — perhaps a bookshelf if you're lucky — but where do you go from there? Instead of struggling to fit everything in, homeowners with a more generous square footage often have the opposite problem — how can I make my room look less bare?
