Preview Sofa Placement Rules in Your Room
Use AI to test sofa placement rules. Preview floating sofas, wall placement, TV distance, rug fit, traffic flow, windows, and conversation layouts.
Sofa placement controls the whole living room. Push it against the wrong wall and the room can feel like a waiting area; float it without enough clearance and traffic flow breaks. Intero helps you preview sofa placement rules in your actual room so you can compare wall placement, floating layouts, sectional direction, TV distance, window balance, conversation zones, rug fit, and paths before moving furniture or buying a new sofa.
Best for
- Living rooms where the sofa fights the TV, fireplace, window, or main walkway.
- People choosing between sofa, sectional, loveseat, and chair layouts.
- Open-plan rooms where the sofa needs to define a zone without blocking movement.

Tips for Best Results
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 Should a sofa be against the wall?
It can be, especially in small rooms, but it is not required. Floating a sofa can improve zoning and conversation if walkways remain clear.
Q2 How far should a sofa be from the TV?
Distance depends on screen size, room size, and viewing comfort. Use AI for layout direction, then confirm exact TV distance and eye level separately.
Q3 How do I place a sofa in an awkward living room?
Choose the main focal point, keep paths open, use a rug to anchor the seating area, and preview sofa, sectional, and chair options before moving heavy pieces.
