II. Grouping and Layout

Avoid arranging sofas in a way that creates a “broken arm” effect. Instead, think of creating a cozy bay-like setting, with extensions on both sides to form an embracing layout. Additionally, steer clear of lining sofas in a straight row. This helps enhance spatial depth and overall comfort.

III. Spatial Arrangement

Avoid placing sofas directly under beams to prevent a sense of oppression.
Ensure sofas are backed by a solid wall for a sense of stability and security.
Avoid positioning mirrors directly behind sofas to prevent discomfort in vision and psychology.
