Using seating to zone a larger room
In an open plan space, a sofa can do much more than simply sit against a wall. Positioning it away from the edges of the room, with its back towards the kitchen or dining area, can create a natural divide and help each part of the space feel more considered and purposeful.
Because the back is on show, it is worth choosing a design finished as thoughtfully behind as in front. Corner sofas make the strongest boundary, while a modular arrangement lets you adjust the line as you learn how the room is actually used, and ranges offering both, such as Ertha, giving you the flexibility to decide what works best once your sofa is in place, rather than having to make every decision at the point of ordering.
Getting the scale right in a larger room
In a generous open plan space, furniture can sometimes feel smaller than expected. Choosing a more substantial sofa can help anchor the room, giving the seating enough presence to sit comfortably alongside long runs of cabinetry, large windows or expansive areas of glazing.
Two sofas facing each other across a rug is a confident answer in a genuinely large space, and a longer single run works where the room is more linear. Compare XL four-seaters with a three-seater pairing to see which suits your proportions, and where the room can take it, an Ertha XL Corner Group holds a long wall comfortably.
Keeping the zones feeling connected
The pleasure of open plan living is that everywhere is in view of everywhere else, which makes cohesion matter more than in a house of separate rooms. Repeating a material, a tone or a leg finish across the seating and the dining end ties the whole space together without making it uniform.
Choosing pieces designed to sit alongside one another is the easiest route to that. Browse sofas by collection to keep the language consistent, Moretti goes further again with combi and U shape sections, and our open plan living ideas show how the zones can read as one room.
