Yes, a big sofa can work well in a small living room if the layout supports it with proper flow and clearance. For example, a one hundred-inch sectional in a narrow room can feel spacious if placed perpendicular to the entry, paired with a nine by twelve-foot rug and a glass coffee table to keep the space light. Maintaining thirty-two inches of clear pathway helps the room breathe and enhances comfort. Focus on circulation and anchored zones for the best results.
