Everyone knows that a couch is supposed to be comfortable. But, as evidenced by these designs, a couch can provide so much more than comfort, adding excitement and energy to your living room. These epic sofas take center stage as bold, daring, or downright wacky elements of the surrounding living space. After all, a living room is where friendly conversations come alive, where projects are planned, where board game tournaments are won, and where cinematic adventures take place – these living rooms truly embody their lively nature through these make-or-break sofa designs.

Rainbow

Not only does this sofa display a dramatic primary color scheme, but it's also shaped like a semi-circle, completing the rainbow look. In an otherwise narrow, plain room, the addition of this sofa (along with its complementary blinds and ottoman) takes the space from average to absolutely amazing, with connotations of saris, silks, and exotic spices. You'll notice that there's little need to decorate the walls – the colorful sofa IS the artwork in this avant-garde living room.

Patchwork Cushions

Who ever said that a sofa must have matching cushions? This pastel-themed sofa is the ultimate in relaxation with its light, calming hues of blue and purple. Situated directly on the floor, this sofa offers space to stretch your legs and truly let go, a sensation which is heightened by the assortment of laissez-faire mismatched cushions.

Igloo

Instead of a bay window, here's a bay couch – and what a dramatic sensation of intimacy and escape that it creates in this living room! It seems it would impossible not to climb into this igloo-like enclave, settle in amongst the many pillows, and become absorbed in a good book. For those who seek shelter and peace from hectic work lives, this living room design offers a sense of shelter far beyond that of an ordinary couch set-up. Small windows provide views, and a skylight above lets the natural sunlight stream in.

Sofa in the Floor

Many sofas sit on the floor, but very few sofas sit in it! This open-concept layout maintains the intentionally open space between the dining room and the living room – the difference in level sets the living room apart as a separate space without distancing it too much. These interior architects have found a way to eliminate the problem of a sofa blocking off a space – they simply lowered it out of the way, allowing all of the natural lights streaming in through the large windows to fill the entire large room.

Lively Green

This sofa is the perfect combination of blending in and standing out. The low profile and lively green color coexist effortlessly with the painted wall in the background, while the well-chosen pillows punctuate the layout, adding interest and fun. A simple, solid color in a bright hue can work wonders for a room, and this sofa is proof.

Dinosaur Sofa

This one is pushing the limits of household furniture: the clean, white, serpentine design is meant to emulate the bones of a dinosaur. While it may not provide the back support of a conventional couch, it certainly provides a modern, abstract element, as well as conversation topic. This couch is just begging to be explored. 

As aesthetically appealing as this sofa is, it won't make the cut if you're looking for a comfy couch for watching a flick with friends. Movie-lovers, take a look at this ideabook exploring some great home cinema layouts.
