A typical 3 seater sofa is around 190–230 cm long. The exact length depends on the design, arm style, and overall proportions of the sofa.

The width (depth) of a 3 seater sofa usually ranges from 85–100 cm. Deeper models offer a more relaxed sit, while slimmer sofas suit smaller living rooms.

Most 3 seater sofas look best with 3–5 cushions. A common arrangement is two larger cushions at each end with one smaller cushion in the centre, which keeps the sofa balanced and comfortable.

Start by measuring the available space and checking the sofa’s width and depth. A 2-seater sofa works well in compact rooms, a 3-seater suits many standard living rooms, while a 4-seater is better for larger spaces and households.

A 4-seater sofa is a good choice if you have a larger living room, a bigger household or regularly entertain guests. It can also work well as the main seating piece in an open-plan living area.

One large sofa creates a simple, unified seating area and can be more space-efficient. Two smaller sofas offer greater flexibility and can work well in larger or more symmetrical living room layouts.

Leave enough room for comfortable movement around the sofa, especially along main walkways. Around 60–90 cm of clearance is a useful guideline where the room size allows.

You should leave approximately 40 cm to 45 cm of space between the front edge of your sofa cushions and the coffee table. This distance provides ample legroom and allows comfortable movement while keeping drinks and books within easy reach.
