10 By 10 Living Room Design
In our Layout Guides series, you'll find layout solutions for rooms of all shapes and sizes. We show you different ways to lay out a space—because we're big believers in working with what you've got! Today, we're tackling 10×10 living room layouts.
The Space: A 10×10 Living Room
The Challenge: This small living room has the constraints of including an entryway and a doorway into another room, which limits where you can place furniture.
This is a commonly sized living room in smaller family homes and apartments. But the fact that it includes a window, an entryway, and a doorway into another room can make landing on living room layouts more challenging. Plus, the layout you choose will depend on how you want to use this space.
Keep reading to explore three different ways to approach this 10×10 living room layout—along with some small living room design tips—to help you explore the possibilities in your own home! Bonus: despite the small footprint, each of these three living room ideas includes all the essentials in our living room furniture checklist.

Layout Idea #1: 10×10 Living Room with a Home Office
Just because you have a small living room doesn't mean you can't make it work for multiple purposes. In this living room furniture layout, we not only included a seating area with a sofa and accent chair, but we also made room for a small desk for someone who has to work from home but doesn't have a separate home office.
How to Make It Work
Include a small desk for an at-home workspace. To utilize the small wall space between the entryway and hallway, we chose a desk that perfectly fits along that wall. It's not a huge workspace—but the desk is just big enough to house a laptop, and it includes an internal drawer for storage.
The floating shelf above the desk provides additional storage for the work area without taking up floor space. And, pairing the desk with a clear, acrylic chair helps to reduce visual clutter in this small space.
Work in some hidden storage. Since this living room layout doesn't leave space for any storage furniture, we opted for a coffee table that offers some hidden storage inside—a favorite small space storage hack that tops the list of our small apartment furniture checklist. It's also round, making it easier to walk around by eliminating sharp corners.
Reduce clutter (but not style!) by keeping decor to your walls. In terms of decor, the accents are mostly on the walls, so as not to clutter up the few surface spaces in this living room.
- The floor mirror helps to reflect light around the small space, giving it a sense of openness and airiness.
- The tall floor lamp illuminates light upward, helping to further open up the room.
- And a piece of statement wall art, as well as a patterned rug add a stylish, chic point of view to the space.
- We also included a hanging plant to bring some texture and greenery into the space.

Layout Idea #2: Living Room With TV Viewing
This living room layout is centered on TV-viewing, reading, and just lounging and relaxing. The sectional sofa adds a comfortable place to lounge, and it faces the television, which is perfect for movie nights. But there's also plenty of space for storage, organization, and other activities.
How to Make It Work
Choose an artfully placed sectional for optimal lounging. The sectional has a smaller footprint than some, and by having it nestled in a corner, it doesn't take up as much space in the room. But it's still big enough for several people to lounge on while watching a movie.
Incorporate plenty of storage to maximize your space. The media stand is stylish, while also providing ample hidden storage. And a wall-mounted bookcase takes up less floor space and provides open storage while utilizing vertical space in the room. (No matter the room, wall-mounted bookcases are among our favorite small space hacks for the storage they offer while taking up minimal floor space!)
Give yourself the flexibility to embrace a multifunctional space. The open rattan coffee table is airy, keeping the space visually open. It's also very lightweight and easy to move around. We love this living room idea, as it allows you to shift the coffee table out of the way for at-home workouts, whether they're self-directed or a group class you're streaming on your TV!

Layout Idea #3: Conversational Lounge Living Room
This living room layout is geared toward entertaining, conversations, and lounging. With multiple seating options and a bit more space to spread out, this layout is perfect for game nights, happy hours, and long conversations.
How to Make It Work
Establish a conversational layout. The deep sofa fits several people, with the lounge chair facing it for a conversational layout. We also included an extra ottoman next to the sofa, which can be used either as a side table or a makeshift extra seat, depending on your needs.
Make use of vertical space. The wall-mounted bookcase is the perfect way to utilize wall space and ceiling height in this living room. We styled it with decor and books—but also a mini bar set-up housed on a few of the shelves, which is perfect for entertaining.
Keep the energy flowing. The oblong coffee table provides ample surface area for snacks and drinks without being bulky or impeding on walking space and flow throughout the room.
