How to Set Up the Perfect Living Room

Living Room Setup Ideas | Mollywood Furniture Dothan AL

The Living Room: The Heart of the Home

Your living room isn’t just another room — it’s where you gather with family, relax after long days, and welcome guests. A well-designed living room feels warm, inviting, and functional. But creating that perfect setup can feel overwhelming without a plan.

At Mollywood Furniture in Dothan, AL, we’ve helped homeowners across the Wiregrass and along the 30A coast transform their living rooms into spaces that balance comfort, style, and practicality.

Step 1: Choose Your Focal Point

Every living room needs a “star of the show.” Depending on your lifestyle, your focal point might be:

• A sofa or sectional from our Living Room Furniture collection.

• A fireplace or entertainment center.

• A large window with natural light.

Once your focal point is chosen, arrange the rest of your furniture around it.

Step 2: Select the Right Seating

Seating is the anchor of the living room. Choose based on your room size and needs:

• Sectionals for large families or open-concept spaces.

• Sofas with accent chairs for flexible layouts.

• Loveseats for smaller rooms or cozy dens.

Explore our Living Room Furniture to find sofas, sectionals, chairs, and recliners that suit your space.

Step 3: Balance with Tables

Tables bring functionality and balance to your seating area. A few essentials include:

• Coffee Tables: Centerpieces for gathering and style.

• Side Tables: Perfect for lamps, drinks, or décor.

• Console Tables: Great for entryways or behind sofas.

Pair with Lighting like floor lamps or table lamps to create layered illumination.

Step 4: Add Rugs for Warmth

Rugs not only define seating areas but also add texture and comfort. In coastal homes along 30A, choose light, natural rugs that complement beach-inspired décor. In Wiregrass homes, farmhouse-style rugs with warm patterns add coziness.

See our Rugs page for options to anchor your living room.

Step 5: Don’t Forget Storage

Living rooms need storage for everything from books to blankets. Smart storage pieces include:

• Entertainment Centers for media and display.

• Storage Ottomans that double as seating.

• Bookshelves for personality and function.

Check our Storage Solutions for stylish and practical options.

Step 6: Layer with Décor

Décor is where your personality shines. Add:

• Throw pillows & blankets for texture.

• Pottery & Planters for greenery (see our Planters & Pottery collection).

• Wall Art to give your living room a focal point (browse Décor & Accessories).

• Candles from Southern Oak Candle Co. for warmth and a signature scent.

Living Room Layout Tips

For Small Rooms

• Float furniture away from walls to create flow.

• Use nesting tables and slim chairs.

• Choose multi-use pieces like sleeper sofas.

For Large Rooms

• Create zones (seating, reading nook, entertainment).

• Anchor spaces with multiple rugs.

• Use sectionals and larger tables to balance proportions.

Our team can help you visualize layouts tailored to your home.
