Episode 03 of our podcast is part of our Furniture Layout 101 series, and it’s all about tips for living room furniture layouts! Remember to check out the other podcasts in this series!
Whether you’re setting up your formal living room, family room, or gaming room, selecting the pieces can be tricky. Should you go for a sofa, a sectional, or lounge chairs?
We walk through some of the most common challenges Krista Hermanson Design encounters with Calgary homeowners.
Britt asks Krista, the KHD founder and interior designer with over 20 years of experience, about the main points to consider when furnishing your living room. We discuss selecting coordinating furniture, working out the right size of furniture for your space, guidelines on how much space you should have between your furniture pieces, and a few guidelines for area rug size. Krista even tells us how to delineate entryways right in the middle of your living space.
