Ethan Allen Living Room Furniture

The living room is the “living” room for a reason: it’s where you relax and gather your guests….and where a surprise overnight guest might just fall asleep. Your living room is the room that sees the highest traffic and activity, which makes its design crucial to you and your guests’ comfort. As your local Ethan Allen furniture store, Bell’s Ethan Allen Design Center offers living room furniture that complements a range of styles. When you schedule a consultation with one of our interior design professionals, you’re on your way to a living room you’ll love living in.

Ethan Allen Furniture

Founded over 90 years ago, Ethan Allen furniture continues to stay true to inventive American style. Design is always evolving, and Ethan Allen is determined to keep up. While the company started making furniture in a bankrupt sawmill, Ethan Allen now crafts their furniture using some of the most innovative methods in the industry. Stylish finishes range from rich to rustic. Performance, chenille, print, velvet, and woven fabrics make every furniture piece unique to you. Furniture collections make decorating your home easy.  Every furniture piece is made with the company’s commitment to pride and quality, featuring hand-sculpted shapes and hand-applied paints finishes that truly make every piece special.

Living Room Furniture Essentials: Seating

Because a living room is commonly used as a gathering place for guests, it’s going to need plenty of seating - and because a living room is also where you relax, that seating is going to need to be comfortable.

Sectionals are among the largest pieces of living room furniture, but at great value. Sectionals put the majority of your seating all in one place. They provide a cohesive element to your room, and their graceful curves and angles make them easy to position around a coffee table or towards your living room’s focal point, such as a television or piece of art.

A living room without a sofa is almost unimaginable. Not every room has the space necessary for a sectional, making sofas the most popular living room furniture choice: they still provide ample seating, but at a more economical scale.  They allow more room for the rest of your living room furniture, like your accent chairs and chaises.

Not every seat needs to be a gathering place - sometimes it’s just for you and a few chosen others. Loveseats are two-seater sofas that make great alternatives to larger couches in small rooms. Coordinate with your sofa for the cohesiveness of a sectional with the maneuverability of a smaller furniture piece. Benches, shorter and shallower than sofas, save space in foyers and create an inviting place for welcoming a guest. Place them under windows for a picturesque reading nook.

Ottomans, Ethan Allen living room furniture from Ethan Allen furniture store near Newburgh, New York (NY)

Complete your seating with matching ottomans. Ottomans are versatile furniture pieces that can function how you want, when you need them: use them as stylish storage to hide away extra blankets, a comfortable place to rest your feet, or even an extra seat in a pinch. Put a tray on a large ottoman, and have storage, seating, a footrest and a coffee table all in one cost-effective furniture piece.

Living room tables include coffee tables, accent tables, and end tables. Coffee tables are generally placed in front of the sofa or other main seating piece. Show off your interests with a tasteful stack of books on your coffee table. Put a cup of tea down on a nearby end table. Display art on a unique accent table. Living room tables fill up empty space but are convenient places to set your belongings down on, whether it be your favorite coffee cup or beloved family photo.

A thoughtfully designed living room is a work of art, and every piece of art needs a focal point. Whether it be art or a television, your seating should be arranged to face a certain focal item. Frame your TV with a stately media cabinet, and underline a painting with a low console table. Alongside your bookcases and chests, the shelves of media cabinets and consoles also house other favorite items like pictures, books, and art, so you have plenty of room to put your life on display.
