A piece of furniture that bridges the gap and grounds a scheme, it's long been believed that a lounge without a sofa is like a kitchen without a stove; in other words, incomplete. However, is a couch a must-have in a living room? These designers and their couch-less spaces prove otherwise.
Sofas were always thought to complete a living room, but in small or awkwardly shaped spaces, they can feel like an unnatural choice, trying to cram in this bulky piece just because that's what always been done. And sometimes it's not about the proportions of the space either. It can be about how you want the room to flow and feel, and a couch can result in a less sociable living room layout, blocking off areas or having every angle pointing at the TV.
