Why does floating furniture improve a living room’s layout and flow?

Floating furniture, or pulling sofas and chairs slightly away from walls, enhances depth and circulation in your living room. Leaving six inches or more creates natural walkways and a cozy seating zone anchored by a rug. This arrangement improves conversation flow and makes rooms feel larger and balanced. Floating furniture also avoids wall shadows and better integrates TV and focal point placement, allowing any sofa size to function within a harmonious layout.
