Living room with modular sofa: 8 layout ideas by room size

A modular sofa is the centrepiece of the modern living room. It adapts — in size, shape and configuration. Here are 8 concrete ideas by room size.

Idea 1: Modular sofa as room divider (open-plan)

Positioned freely, back toward the kitchen, seating toward the window. Our Merlot collection in Retro Bliss sand or taupe works brilliantly here.

Idea 2: L-shape for rooms of 15–20m²

We recommend the Merlot collection in a 3-seater + chaise configuration. Light tones visually enlarge the space.

Idea 3: U-shape for large rooms (25m²+)

The Malbec collection is the most suitable for U-shapes. For heavy family use, Retro Bliss bouclé is our recommendation.

Idea 4: Small corner sofa for studio flats

Low profile, slim armrests, light tone. The Barolo collection — bold lines, deep seat, controlled footprint.

Idea 5: Modular sofa in bouclé — the lasting trend

Retro Bliss bouclé available on the Merlot and Malbec collections.

Idea 6: Sofa and wall in matching tones

Greige sofa + taupe wall, slate sofa + dark grey wall, olive sofa + sage wall. Our free samples let you compare against your wall colour.

Idea 7: Pull the sofa away from the wall

A Merlot in a medium L, 30cm from the wall, round coffee table in front, arc lamp behind the corner.

Idea 8: Modular sofa + armchair — asymmetric composition

A Pinot in velvet with a rattan or vintage leather armchair.

Our recommendations

Merlot — most versatile

Malbec — maximum flexibility

Barolo — compact for smaller rooms

Pinot — slim proportions
