Plan your living room for Kolkata spaces & lifestyle
Before you fall in love with a living room reel on Instagram, spend 10–15 minutes planning your actual space. This prevents buying an oversized sofa, wrong TV unit or clashing finishes.
- Measure the room – wall-to-wall length and width, plus the distance between the main door, balcony door and TV wall.
- Mark circulation paths – how people will walk from door to sofa, balcony, dining or kitchen.
- Check damp / seepage-prone walls – very common in Kolkata. Keep TV units and storage a little away from damp patches and prefer laminate finishes that resist moisture.
- Decide your primary use – daily family TV time, weekend gatherings, home-theatre feel or formal sitting.
- Note plug points – for TV, set-top box, Wi-Fi router, soundbar, floor lamps and chargers.
If this feels confusing, just carry a rough sketch and measurements to a Modfurn Interiors showroom. Our team can quickly map the right sofa, TV unit and center table combo for your layout and budget.
Choose the perfect sofa set (L-shape vs 3+2+1)
The sofa is the hero of your living room. It sets the style and decides how comfortably your family can sit for IPL nights or Netflix marathons.
2.1 L-shaped sectional vs 3+2+1 for Kolkata homes
- L-shaped sectional sofas are perfect for open-plan living + dining layouts. They hug the corner, create a cosy TV zone and seat 4–6 people without wasting the centre space. A design like the Orion Modern Sectional Sofa with Chaise works brilliantly as a statement piece in modern Kolkata apartments.
- 3+2+1 or 3+1+1 sofa sets give flexible seating. You can move the single chairs near the balcony, study corner or into another room when guests come.
2.2 Fabric vs faux leather in humid weather
- Fabric sofas feel softer and more breathable in Kolkata’s humidity. Modern stain-resistant fabrics are easier to maintain than before.
- Faux leather sofas give a premium hotel-like look and are extremely easy to wipe clean – ideal if you have kids or frequent guests.
- For heavy daily use, choose high-density foam cushions and a sturdy MDF + wood frame, like most Modfurn sofa models.

Pick a TV unit that matches your screen & storage needs
A good TV unit doesn’t just “hold the TV”. It hides wires, gives storage for devices and decor, and visually balances your sofa.
3.1 Wall-mounted entertainment units for a clean, modern look
If you want your living room to look like a curated designer flat, go for a full entertainment wall. The Orion Modern Entertainment Wall Unit combines a high-gloss black & white TV panel, glass-shelf display tower and closed cabinets – giving a built-in, premium feel while hiding clutter.
- Best for: main TV wall where you want a dramatic focal point.
- Ideal TV sizes: usually 43"–65", depending on your room width.
- Bonus: extra space for decor, trophies, family photos and plants.
3.2 Floor TV units & consoles for rental flats
In many Kolkata rental flats, you may not want heavy wall drilling. A floor TV unit or low console is smarter – easy to move when you shift homes.
- Choose a unit slightly wider than your TV for a balanced, premium look.
- Look for closed drawers + open shelves to hide remotes, wires and extra gadgets while keeping the set-top box / router accessible.
- Use the top for a soundbar, decor pieces or framed photos.

Center tables & smart storage for a clutter-free living room
Once your sofa and TV unit are fixed, the center table and storage pieces complete the room. They decide how easy it is to serve snacks, keep remotes handy and keep the floor clean.
4.1 Choosing the right center table size & style
- For a standard 3-seater sofa, pick a center table roughly one-half to two-thirds of the sofa length.
- If you host often, look for storage shelves or nesting stools for extra seating and serving space.
- Glass-top tables like the Lyra Modern Glass Top Coffee Table bring lightness and elegance with a lower shelf for books or decor.

4.2 Extra storage that keeps the living room tidy
Kolkata homes are busy – kids’ toys, office bags, extra shoes, festive decor. Without proper storage, the living room quickly feels messy.
- Shoe cabinets & benches near the entrance keep shoes hidden and give a seat while wearing them.
- Multipurpose cabinets store office files, puja items, party serveware and more.
- Bookshelves styled with books + decor + plants instantly make the room look more premium.

FAQs about living room furniture in Kolkata
1. Which type of sofa is best for a small Kolkata living room?
Go for an L-shape sectional pushed against one wall or a compact 3-seater + 1-seater combo. Avoid bulky arms and very deep seats. A model like the Orion sectional can seat many guests while keeping the floor open.
2. What distance should I keep between the sofa and TV?
As a simple rule, keep roughly 1.5–2.5× the TV diagonal as viewing distance. For a 50" screen, that’s around 1.9–3.2 metres. In very compact rooms, use a wall-mounted TV unit to free up extra space.
3. Is a glass-top center table safe with kids?
Toughened glass tables are safer than normal glass and work well for families. If you have very young kids, choose designs with rounded corners or consider a wooden / marble-look top with soft edges.
4. Does Modfurn provide delivery & installation in Kolkata?
Yes. Most living room furniture from Modfurn comes with delivery and professional installation within Kolkata city limits. The team assembles the pieces at your home and ensures everything is stable and ready to use.
