Living Room Sets

Living room sets and what they include

Living room sets combine seats in the same upholstery, so the room looks coordinated without shopping piece by piece. Common combinations here are a sofa and loveseat, a 3-piece set, and a loveseat paired with a recliner.

Across a set, seating runs from 4 to 7 places, so count everyone who uses the room at once and add a guest or two. Check each listing to see exactly which pieces are included.

Reclining sofa set options

A reclining sofa set builds recline into the main pieces, usually at the end seats of the sofa and loveseat. Most sets here recline, some by power button and others by hand with a handle or a push back.

Select sets add a center console, cup holders, USB charging, storage or massage, and some include recliners that swivel, rock or glide. Wall hugger designs can sit closer to the wall than standard recliners.

Leather living room sets and fabric choices

Leather living room sets here come in genuine leather, vegan leather or bonded leather. Genuine leather softens with use, vegan leather is a synthetic that wipes clean easily, and bonded leather tends to wear fastest.

Fabric sets include microfiber, corduroy, velvet and chenille. Gray is the most common color, followed by brown and black.

Living room sofa set layout

A living room sofa set usually works best in an L, with the sofa on the longest wall, the loveseat on the adjoining wall and any recliner angled toward the TV or the conversation area.

Leave about 18 inches between the seats and the coffee table and around 30 inches for walkways, plus open floor in front of every reclining seat.

Living room furniture sets construction and care

Living room furniture sets here vary in construction. Most list a metal frame, and some add solid wood parts with plywood or MDF panels.

Vacuum fabric seats with an upholstery attachment and dust leather with a soft dry cloth. Before closing a footrest, check that children, pets and toys are clear of the mechanism.
