The living room in your home is more important than you realize. It's the place you'll hang out with family and your kids. Living rooms are usually used for entertaining guests too. When designing your new space, it's crucial to think about the furniture you want before heading to a local furniture store. Let's take a look for more information!

1. Couches

According to Statista, revenue in the furniture market in 2023 is about $244 billion. A lot of that involves seating. Large wrap-around section couches are ideal for large living rooms. However, you can also opt for a set with a couch and a smaller loveseat. A sofa and a couple of chairs are another popular arrangement. Consider the layout of your living room when you pick which seating option you prefer.

2. Tables

Every living room needs tables. Select a coordinating coffee table to place in front of the couch. Matching end tables or side tables should be placed next to the seating if a person can't reach the coffee table. This ensures that everyone can sit their drinks down while they hang out at your house. Don't forget to pick up coasters to preserve the beauty of your new living room furniture.

3. TV Stand

An entertainment center or television stand is another must-have. Opt for a large TV stand if you don't have a mounted television. If you do, opt for a shorter or floating TV stand underneath your television set. These essential pieces of furniture are used to hold gaming systems, movies, DVD players, and controllers. Consider what you will put on your entertainment center before picking one out at the furniture store.

4. Shelves

Shelves are a great way to display family pictures and your favorite collectibles. Use them to store items that you want to keep out of reach or put on display. Large bookshelves can be used to store board games and keep your favorite books nearby. You can also use bookshelves to create a cozy reading nook in the corner of your living room.

Living rooms need to have specific furniture to make them comfortable for everyone. It's essential to provide plenty of seating, storage, and tables. Contact us today at Stahl Furniture to learn more about the pieces offered at our furniture store.
