A 12x12 living room is 144 sq ft (13.4 m²). Choose a sofa of 72–96 inches on the 12 ft wall, a 60-inch coffee table 18 inches in front of it and a 6 × 9 ft rug, and you can seat 5 people. From the sofa the TV is about 10 ft away, so a 75-inch screen is ideal. The room is also large enough for a 112 × 84 inch sectional.

What size sofa fits a 12x12 living room?

A sofa of 72–96 inches, about two-thirds of the 12 ft wall. A 96-inch sofa is the sweet spot, and anything longer than 96 inches crowds the wall. The room is also large enough for a 112 × 84 inch sectional.

What size TV is best for a 12x12 living room?

With the sofa on one long wall and the TV on the other, you sit about 10 ft away. A 75-inch 4K TV is ideal, and up to 85 inches works if you want a cinema feel.

What size rug for a 12x12 living room?

A 6 × 9 ft rug, leaving about 18 inches of floor at the walls with the front legs of the sofa resting on it.

How many people can a 12x12 living room seat?

What size coffee table for a 12x12 living room?

About 60 × 24 inches, no more than two-thirds the length of a 96-inch sofa, placed 16 to 18 inches from the seat edge.

How much paint do I need for a 12x12 living room?

About 2 gallons for two coats. With 8 ft ceilings the walls total 348 sq ft after subtracting one door and one window, and a gallon covers roughly 350 sq ft (2 gallons exactly).
