Long Narrow Living Room Makeover: Start With the Right Coffee Table

In a long narrow living room, the coffee table decides almost everything else. This guide explains why it makes sense to choose the table before the sofa, rug or storage, and how a slim oval or narrow rectangular design keeps the room comfortable to move through. We compare the shapes that work well in narrow spaces with those that tend to struggle, and look at why a nest of tables can be a flexible alternative. You will learn how to plan and protect the main walkway, how much space to leave between the sofa and table, and how to divide a long room into zones using rugs and furniture. We also cover practical uses for the short end walls, from slim console tables to mirrors, and how to layer lighting along the length of the room.
