Position Your Couch: Tips and Suggestions

The‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ sofa in your home is not just a chair – it is the focal point of your living area. No matter if you are styling a minimalist loft, a snug family room, or a contemporary office lounge, the way and the place where you put your couch make all the difference. The impact of positioning extends from the atmosphere of the room to the flow of people.

Plus, if you are opting for custom stainless steel sofas from Seelteen, you can benefit from a style that is not only cool and resistant but also attractive. This is the way to utilize it to its fullest ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌potential.

1.‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Start With the Purpose of the Space

Thinking of moving your sofa? First, consider the room function.

Relaxation? Then you probably want a layout that gets the sun or is directed to your TV.
Conversation? Position the seats so that the circle or face-to-face orientation is evident.
Multifunctional use? Experiment with the position of the seats – stainless steel modular sofas from Seelteen are really great if you want to change their configuration.

Knowing the purpose of the room is a way of figuring out where your sofa should ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌be.

2.‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Respect the Flow of Movement

One of the most common mistakes that can easily destroy a place is to block the walking path.

Ensure that there is always a space of 30-36 inches (75-90 cm) around and in front of your couch so that people can move freely.

In case your living room is connected to another area, such as a dining room or kitchen, place the sofa not only to separate the different zones but also to allow the flow of movement. A low-profile stainless steel sofa can be a great way to quietly indicate the border while still maintaining the open, airy ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌vibe.

3.‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Use the Wall Wisely

It’s a popular misconception that your couch must always be placed against the wall.

By floating your sofa — basically moving it a little away from the wall — you add layers and give the impression that your room is bigger.

If you have an open-plan room, placing your stainless steel custom sofa in the center can be a great way to visually separate the areas. Combine it with a rug and a minimalist coffee table to achieve a balanced composition that gives off a refined and deliberate ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌vibe.

4.‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Balance Light and View

The couch ought to be the one to benefit from the most of the room’s light and view, but it should not be affected by any glare or discomfort.

Natural light: Don’t put it right in front of big windows if you are not going to use UV-protective glass or curtains to stop fading.
Artificial lighting: Warm accent lights can be used to complete the reflective surfaces of your stainless steel sofa and soften the metallic sheen to produce cozy ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌warmth.

5.‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Match Proportions to the Room

Size is important. A tiny sofa in a big room appears to be “lost”; a huge sectional in a small flat may cause you to feel that the space is suffocating.

Seelteen has a range of custom sizing options for metal sofas. So, you can get a piece of furniture that fits your space and not vice versa. The right-sized sofa not only makes it easier to decide the positioning, but it also ensures that your arrangement stays ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌cohesive.

6.‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Pair with the Right Companions

A nice couch is worthy of having a nice companion. Think about these accompaniments:

A metal coffee table for a stylish, modern look that flows well.
Simple side tables to enclose the sofa and bring you equilibrium.
An exclusive console table behind a sofa that is floating for additional surface area and the flow of style.

There is everything and even more that you need at Seelteen, the place where bespoke workmanship meets trendy ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌design.

7.‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Remember Comfort and Viewpoints

When you sit, what is to be seen? In an ideal situation, your sofa ought to be facing something that is really nice to look at — a view, a piece of art, or a focal wall.

In case your area lacks a natural focal point, you can make one with the help of a painting, a light source, or an accent rug. Place your stainless steel sofa in such a way that it encapsulates that point — the room will be transformed into a more deliberate one in an ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌instant.

8.‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Experiment Before You Commit

There are times when you cannot figure out what works unless you actually try it. In case you are moving heavy furniture, use painter’s tape to mark your sofa’s footprint on the floor so that you can easily put it back.

Have a try at numerous layouts and take pictures from different perspectives — it won’t take long for you to realize which one feels the best.

One of the great things about custom stainless steel sofas is their minimalistic design and the fact that they are made of durable materials, so it makes no difference if you keep them in the same spot for years; they will still be solid and ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌stylish.
