Sometimes, the size of your living room or its specific layout means you can't help but position the couch in front of a window. While some designers say it's best to avoid this if you can — it can block natural light, look awkward, and be more prone to cool drafts and breezes — there are ways to make it look cohesive and considered.
"Scale always matters," says interior designer Anna Popov of Interiors by Popov. "If your sofa is going to dwarf the window, think again before placing it in front of it, as the aesthetic balance of your home will be thrown off."
