How does sofa placement affect flow and comfort in a living room?

Sofa placement directly impacts room flow and comfort by influencing circulation paths and seating interaction. Placing sofas to allow thirty to thirty-six inches of walkway clearance, floating furniture off walls, and anchoring with a rug creates a natural and open flow. This arrangement promotes social engagement and avoids cramped feeling. Thoughtful sofa placement accommodates room size and lifestyle, producing a balanced and inviting space.
