Breathe life into a tired living room with new seats

There’s nothing more awkward than being unsure where to sit when entering a living room. Milling around, then awkwardly sitting in the owners (or their pets) favourite chair is never a great start to a visit, but it doesn’t have to be that way in your home.

Your living room should be a warm, welcoming environment for friends and family to spend time. This requires living room seats that not only look great, but can also withstand the rigors of daily use. Let’s get started by exploring the potential of your living room to create a space that can be enjoyed for years to come.

How do you choose chairs for your living room?

Furniture choices are determined by the size of your living room, so the first step is to measure your room. You could even draw up a floorplan to help visualize the space. Consider where people walk, the areas requiring access and the doors and windows so everyone can move around the living room comfortably.

If your living room is mainly for TV viewing, you should select chairs that orientate toward the television. If games and cozy conversation are your thing, remember to include a coffee table big enough for board games, snacks and drinks. A large sectional sofa that looks at home in the Amart showroom will overwhelm a smaller space, so take your room measurements with you when shopping for seating. Now your living room is sized up, it’s time to explore seat styles from the huge range at Amart Furniture.

What are different types of living room seats?

Whether you are on the lookout for a streamlined living room sofa set, recliner chairs, window seats, upmarket French provincial style, or another classic or contemporary decor option, Amart has what you need for the perfect seating arrangement to suit your living room. Here are just a few ideas for personalised interior design inspiration.

• Create a focal point with patterned chairs
• Select woven chair fabrics for contrast and comfort
• Choose the antique look for old-world charm
• Pull accent chairs away from walls for a proportioned room
• Use symmetrical seat pairing for a balanced look
• Plan seating in groups to encourage conversation

With more than 120 living room seat products to choose from, the seating arrangement choices are all yours at Amart. From innovative feature-rich electric recliners to old-school rocking chairs, we have your favourite living room seats available online and in-store at your nearest Amart showroom.

How many seats should a living room have?

If your living room is large enough, you can choose adaptable seating that can be configured into different arrangements for a variety of purposes. The way you arrange your seating should reflect your personality and the many ways you intend to use the space.

For example, use an L shaped sofa or chaise lounges to create a comfortable area for group gatherings. Position a pair of armchairs off to the side for intimate and cozy conversations. If you enjoy hosting large parties, pull the armchairs over so there’s plenty of seating for everyone.

Do chairs in the living room have to match?

Your home is an expression of your own style. You can choose coordinated colours, fabrics and textures for classic styling, or mix-and-match bold colours and patterns with arm chairs, throws and unique decorative accessories.

Incorporate natural wood tones, plush fabric chair materials, durable leather sofas or even a chair bed so guests can get the luxury treatment when staying the night. The extensive Amart collection has living room chairs for every decor style. Here are just a few ideas to help your creativity, courtesy of Amart.
