Living room furniture here runs from 1-seater lounge chairs and modular sofas to TV cabinets and coffee tables, with Scandinavian designs, solid wood frames and pet-friendly fabrics among the options.
Plan the room around how it is used. Mark the main walkway first and keep about 75 to 90 cm clear, then place the sofa along the long wall or across the room to separate it from a dining area. Once the sofa is fixed, the coffee table, ottomans and side tables fill the space in front of and beside it.
Set the TV cabinet opposite the main seat, about 2 to 2.5 m away for a 55-inch screen. In a small condo, a 2-seater with a lounge chair often fits better than a large 3-seater, and a modular sofa can grow with extra pieces later.
Keep wood tones related: Cocoa, Natural and Oak finishes sit together easily, and Scandinavian pieces pair well with plain grey or beige fabrics. Malaysian homes are humid, so leave a little air space behind sofas and cabinets, and keep upholstery out of strong afternoon sun.
