Comfort comes from a room, not only its largest seat.
Start with seating fit
Place the sofa where conversation and television viewing feel natural without blocking a route. Check whether feet rest on the floor and whether a small pillow improves support. A reachable surface for a book or drink matters. Leave enough room to stretch and stand.
Layer thoughtfully
Add a lamp that avoids harsh overhead light, a rug that defines the seating area, and a throw where it is actually used. Keep textiles easy to care for. Edit clutter from the path rather than filling every blank corner. If the sofa itself is uncomfortable, styling cannot fully fix its dimensions.
A welcoming living room makes ordinary activities easy and gives the eye somewhere to rest.
