Answer

Common mistakes include under-furnishing, placing sofas too close to walls or doorways, and ignoring appropriate walkways under thirty inches. These issues disrupt flow and conversation, making sofas feel out of place. Floating sofas slightly off walls, protecting thirty to thirty-six inch walkways, and anchoring seating zones with proper rugs improve function. Avoid crowding and keep circulation paths clear to help any sofa size fit naturally.
