Creating Functional Zones


A great way to optimize a narrow room is by establishing different zones. The conversation area should be clearly defined with a well-placed sofa, while a work zone can be created by placing a desk along the back of the couch—without pushing it against the wall. This approach is commonly seen in terraced houses that have been extended, where width is often restricted. In these homes, kitchens and dining spaces are usually positioned towards the back, while the living area is at the front.

Strategic Sofa Placement


To maintain a spacious and open feel, avoid placing the sofa across the width of the room, as this can hinder the flow and block sightlines. Instead, position a large, comfortable sofa parallel to the longest wall. This arrangement enhances the sense of space and makes the room feel less confined. If additional seating is required, a low-backed sofa or a cozy armchair can provide extra comfort without overwhelming the layout.

Using Zoning in Extended Spaces


For those with space towards the back of the house, similar zoning and sightline techniques apply. Sectioning off the kitchen, dining, and living areas ensures a harmonious balance. The most effective layout often positions the kitchen and living areas at opposite ends, with a dining table in the center, allowing for easy transitions between zones.

Designing Narrow Living Spaces in Singapore


In Singapore, where compact homes and extended narrow rooms are common, selecting the right sofa is crucial for optimizing space. A Gubi sofa, paired with thoughtfully chosen furnishings such as side tables, ottomans, or wall-mounted shelving, can create a stylish and functional living environment. By implementing zoning techniques, smart furniture placement, and selecting the right sofa, even the narrowest of rooms can be transformed into an inviting and practical space.

My fiancée and I were searching for modern furniture pieces that not only look beautiful but also are practical. Danish Design ticked all the boxes - superb comfort and aesthetics value, a decent variety of different furniture lines, and staff who are willing to take their time to explain the pieces to you. For many of their sofa lines, they have a wide array of different fabrics (and colours) to suit your lifestyle (eg, warmer or cooler materials). We ended up getting a Bolia couch and a Skovby dining table - wish we had gotten more! Definitely will return again
