If there is no coffee table in the living room in order to reduce the congestion of the space; if there is no TV because it is seldom watched; then it is a little difficult to understand why there is no sofa.

However, such rebellious decisions are becoming more and more common in the homes of contemporary young people, and they also declare that this is a home where "relatives are not welcome."

So is this decision feasible? Actually, I also tried it and it was really nice after I moved in.

1. Where to sit if there is no sofa?

This is a question worth pondering, and I was also curious at first. But after seeing the homes of countless young people, I am not surprised at all.

In fact, the so-called not putting up sofas does not mean not wanting sofas, but giving up traditional straight-row or modular sofas and choosing lighter and smaller furniture to meet rest needs.

It can be a few pillows, a few futons, a single recliner, or a sofa cushion. In short, there are many kinds of substitutes that will not affect your life at all.

Netizen @一咿_Yii:There is no sofa, no coffee table, no guests, just a large carpet and a few pillows. Perhaps this is the sense of freedom I want.

2. What are the benefits of not putting up a sofa?

Without a sofa in the living room, it means that the space has more relaxation and variability, so the advantages are also obvious, specifically in the following aspects.

①You can save a lot of money

As we all know, decoration is a bottomless pit. No matter how much budget you prepare, you may face financial pressure in the end. For example, you are forced to stop the decoration work; or you have no money to buy soft decoration after the hard decoration is finished.

If you remove the sofa in the living room, your financial pressure can be somewhat relieved. Although a set of sofas is not expensive, at least several thousand yuan can be saved.

Therefore, in a tight financial situation, you can use the thousands of dollars saved on other necessary household items, such as bathroom fixtures, washing machines, etc.

Netizen @一休妈妈:I had been planning to buy a sofa after I got my salary next month, but after living with it for a while, I found that it is pretty good this way. The straw mat allows people to sit on the floor, and the children have more room to move around.

②Can enlarge the space

Whether it is a straight sofa or a modular sofa, it will occupy a large area of ​​the living room. If it is a large apartment, then it will not have much impact, but if it is a small apartment, it will cause the space to be very crowded.

Some people may ask, why not just buy a smaller sofa? In fact, the size of a sofa is often linked to comfort. If the sofa seat depth is less than 60cm, it obviously loses its meaning.

Therefore, removing the sofa can actually make the sense of space infinitely magnified, not only in small apartments, but also in large apartments.

Netizen @Angus:My living room is only 3.3 meters wide. If I put a sofa in it, it would take up 1/3 of the area, making the space crowded. After removing the sofa, it becomes much more spacious.

Netizen @你都可:There are only two people living at home, and two single-seater sofas are enough. Why put a big sofa? Isn’t it nice to run freely at home?

③The space is more personalized

Young people tend to be rebellious, and the traditional living room layout is too monotonous and does not suit their personality, so removing the sofa can make the living room design more personalized.

Netizen @Jiacheng:I have never liked the traditional sofa layout, so I bought two single chairs and combined them freely. I am very satisfied with the result, which is what I imagined my home to look like.

Netizen @海风吹面:Your own home does not need to be defined by others. Although the living room is not large, after removing the large sofa, it is enough to adapt to various scene needs.

Netizen @木尚的小宅:I really like the bean bag sofa in the living room. When I lie down on it, I feel completely wrapped up, and without the heavy sofa, the whole space feels a lot lighter.

④More diverse functions

Not all families need a living room, and the living room is not the main activity area for all families, so when there is no sofa in the living room, the function and layout become more diversified.

1) Parent-child area:Families with children can turn the living room into a parent-child activity area, providing children with a comfortable environment for growth without affecting later adjustments to the layout.

In addition, if there is no need to watch TV, you can also install a bookshelf on the TV wall to lay the foundation for later conversion into a reading and study area.

2) Office area:If you don't have a study room at home and you need to work from home, it would be more practical to convert the living room into an office area.

3) Tea area:People who like to drink tea can set up a tea table in the living room and turn it into a relaxing place, which can bring peace of mind even if the work pressure is great.

4) Fitness area:If you want to exercise, you don’t have to go to the gym. You can turn your unused living room into a home gym and exercise anytime and anywhere, saving time and cost.

5) Camping Area:You read that right. You can set up a tent directly in the living room and experience the fun of camping in the wild at home. It’s very romantic just to think about it.

The above is all the content of this issue.

In fact, considering the current pace of life, sofas are no longer a must-have furniture in the living room. Don’t ask guests where to sit when they come. Think about how long it has been since you visited someone else’s home.

However, how to make a decision still depends on your own needs and lifestyle, and you should never blindly follow the trend.
