Go Sofa-Less and Try Floor Seating! 5 Tips That Will Make You Rethink Your Decision to Get a New Sofa

If you have ever admired the Indian décor features, you must have surely heard of the low seating style. While a sofa sure looks chic and captivating in your living room, it sure is pricey, and not everyone can afford it. So, how can you ensure that your living room looks just as beautiful without having to chip in a lot from your pocket?

Styling your living room with low seating arrangements can make your house look fantastic at a budget. This popular décor style has been both admired and adored for its beauty. However, without proper tips and tricks in place, you might go wrong with this unique styling technique.

So, here is a complete guide that explains the right way to bring out the beauty of your living room with low seating techniques.

  1. Casual Space:
    If you do not like the boring look a sofa creates, you can go for the stack-up look to create a beautiful space. The key is to stack up about two to three foam/cotton-based cushions on top of each to create a comfy area for you and your guests.

    For houses that have kids, this unique idea would be an amazing addition to your space, making it look cosy yet stylish at the same time. Pair this up with some quotes from your favourite author or book, and hang the posters on adjoining walls. To make things more homely, you can go for a tent-like look with beautiful drapes.

  2. Floor Cushions:
    Additionally, you can go for a floor cushion look for your living space. The idea is to get some big sized cushions and stack them on top of each other to create a sofa-like look paired with small colourful cushions. You can also go for low-lying tables to serve as a platform if you plan to turn your living space into a quick dining space.

    This look is chic and doesn’t require you to invest a lot. If you are aiming for this look, colour is an important factor. For the big base cushions, you must go for neutral colours that do not overpower the rest of your décor.

    To top it, add some cushions with a colour-popping element. This ensures that there is a seamless integration of the décor with your low seating arrangement.

  3. Deck Up Your Space with an Ottomans:
    Another way to spunk up your space is with the use of ottomans that have been the trend for quite some time. To sum it up in simple words, ottomans are termed as the bigger variants of pouffes. These upholstered square or round-shaped stools do have legs. However, they lack any backrest, making them different from your traditional stools.

    Most ottomans make use of minimal wooden structure while being stuffed with foam and other elements for a quick low seating furniture look. If you are going for a minimalistic look, go for a brightly coloured ottoman without any patterns to create an edge for your living room décor.

    On the other hand, you can opt for a geometric pattern ottoman to create a distinctive corner in your home.

  4. Try Some Futons:
    If you haven’t been living in a shell, you might have heard the name “futons” pop up every time there is talk of décor. Now, futons come straight from the mystical land of Japan and can be seen in most Japanese homes.

    Traditionally, futons were used as beds in small rooms that could not fit wooden beds. However, with a shift in décor and design, futons are now used for decking up the living space. If a large sofa isn’t the way for you, going with futons will help you save space and also turn into a makeshift bed when needed. You can also add a hint of cosiness to the look by adding some throw pillows.

Conclusion

Apart from this, bean bags would also make up for a great low seating décor idea that brings in a minimalistic look without distorting your monthly budget. Opting for these offbeat ideas also helps save the environment given the fact that most traditional home décor items make use of wooden parts leading to faster deforestation. In case you have doubts and need an expert to revamp your premise, you can always trust Shreya Designs for a modern yet cosy home décor.
