Which sofa best fits your space - Part 2

Following my previous post regarding small spaces and which sofas best fit (you can read it here ) I am now going to explain what you should know when you want to purchase a sofa but don't know if a 3+2 set fits.

First of all you should know how to calculate how much space you need for a 3 seater and a 2 seater.

Here is a simple plan of a 4x4 meters space to help you understand:

One of the things you should remember is to try to place the sofa with the most seats opposite of the tv as it is much more convenient than being sideways.

In this case the total size we need for the sofa is calculated in the following way:

For the 3 seater we add its length 2.27 m + the depth of the 2 seater 90 cm so the total is 3.17 m. Similarly we add for the 2 seat its length, the depth of the 3 seat AND the depth of the tv stand (50 cm usually) so we need 3.35 cm minimum. If you are going to leave some space in between the furniture then calculate a total of 3.70 m at least.

Most people tend to forget that we need to add the depth of each sofa and believe that they have more space than they actually do.

Some additional information you should know:

The space between the sofa and the coffee table should be about 35 cm.

The space between the coffee table and the tv stand should be at least 60-70 cm.

Your corridors should also be around 70 cm so you can move around at ease.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions!
