Bad Bunny's Unorthodox No-TV Living Room is the Smartest Way to Design Open-Plan Spaces, Say Designers
The singer's living room furniture is strategically arranged to encourage conversation, in a move that designers approve of for its timelessness
Creating a living room that is as functional as it is conversational (and aesthetically pleasing) is no easy feat, but Bad Bunny's space is showing us how it's done with strategic furniture placement.
The singer's sleek, neutral living area is so appealing thanks to the strategic living room seating idea,including opposing sofas and chairs, all centered around a low-profile coffee table, which in turn encourages conversation.

Design experts tell us that placing furniture and accessories in the center of a living space is a surefire way to create harmony and balance in a space.
'Placing two sofas directly opposite each other with a coffee table in between creates an intimate yet open arrangement, ensuring that guests are naturally oriented toward one another,' Mike Durbridge, CEO of Andrew Martin, explains. 'This setup encourages easy dialogue while maintaining a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.'
He continues, 'Conversational seating is all about balance - keeping seating at a comfortable distance, avoiding barriers that disrupt eye contact, and incorporating soft textures to enhance a sense of warmth and ease. Another piece to consider is a swivel chair. Swivel chairs bring both style and functionality to a space, offering a dynamic seating option that encourages conversation and flexibility. Their ability to rotate makes them perfect for open-plan layouts, allowing seamless interaction between different areas of a room. With a sculptural presence, they create an inviting focal point while ensuring comfort and practicality.'
Ultimately, Bad Bunny’s living room proves that a space can be both stylish and sociable. By thoughtfully arranging furniture to encourage conversation – sofas facing each other, low-profile tables, and versatile swivel chairs – you can create a living area that’s functional, inviting, and effortlessly chic.
With the right mix of balance, texture, and flexibility, any living room can become a hub for connection, comfort, and timeless style.
