What is the 2/3 rule sofa everyone talks about? I keep seeing it mentioned in living room layout advice but don’t really understand how to apply it in a real space.
The 2/3 rule states that the length of a sofa should be approximately two-thirds of the length of the wall it's against, with the remaining one-third used to allow for movement or maintain overall visual balance.
It's important to note that the 2/3 rule isn't limited to sofa dimensions. It also applies to decorative paintings above the sofa, the size of coffee tables, and the proportions of the overall room layout, helping to make the space appear more harmonious and layered.
