Create a sociable living room layout that's perfect for entertaining

How to make your living room work for you with three different layout suggestions

Create a modern living space with separate zones for eating and relaxing

How to get the layout:

Use an ‘L’ shaped modular sofa to create the divide between the seating and the dining area of the room.

Put a sideboard behind the sofa to create a serving area and storage for dinnerware. It will also create a visual barrier between the two spaces.

How to light the space:

A low pendant light, on a dimmer switch, hung over the dining table creates an intimate pool of light – perfect for dinner parties.

Turn on a smart lamp on the sideboard for a subtle background light when you’re using the living area.

What furniture to choose:

A modular sofa takes up less space than a sofa-and-chair-combo.

Keep a multipurpose space clutter-free with sleek wall units.

Acrylic chairs and a glass dining table give the illusion of space.
