Living Room Cost Considerations
Before you furnish a living room, there are a few important considerations ...
Budget
With cost being top of mind, it is crucial to set a living room budget. This article will give you a better idea of how much a La-Z-Boy living room will cost, but first, determine how much you are willing to spend.
The Size of the Room
The size of your living room makes a big difference in cost. The room size will dictate how many pieces of furniture we can fit into the space and the size of your area rug. The more furniture you have and the larger the area rug in the space, the more costly the room will be.
How Will the Living Room be Used
Finally, consider how the living room will be used and who will use it.
Is this a formal living room? Perhaps you intend to host sophisticated wine & cheese nights? Or is this a casual living room suited for movie nights or football Sunday? Do you have kids or pets? Is there a chance this living room arrangement will dual as a playroom?
These are important things to ask yourself as you select living room furniture and decide how much to spend.
La-Z-Boy Living Room Costs
Generally speaking, the cost of a La-Z-Boy furnished living room can cost anywhere from $8,000 to $25,000 or more.
1. Seating Arrangement Selection (Fabric or Leather)
A living room seating arrangement typically consists of a sofa and accent chair or a sectional.
Generally speaking, the cost of a sofa at La-Z-Boy ranges from about $1,999 to $3,000+. An accent chair ranges from about $1,100 to $2,000, and if you opt for a recliner, the cost will range from about $999 to $2,500+
A La-Z-Boy sectional, on the other hand, range from $3,799 to $10,000 or more.

Moreover, the cost of your seating arrangement is largely dependent on the upholstery cover you choose, given that specialty fabrics and leathers tend to be more expensive. To learn more about the fabric and leather selection at La-Z-Boy, check out the article on Fabric vs. Leather.
Finally, living room upholstery furniture at La-Z-Boy is offered with a range of additional customization options & upgrades. Select models can be customized in welt trim, nailhead trim, leg finish, and throw pillow covers. Further, reclining furniture can be upgraded to power, and some models are offered with additional upgrades such as headrest & lumbar or heat & massage.
All customizations and upgrades will ultimately drive up the cost of your La-Z-Boy living room seating arrangement.
While the size of the room and your choice in cover textures are the main factors of cost, there are several other costs of furnishing a living room to expect.
3. The Size and Quality of Area Rug
Area rug selection depends on the size, how it is made and the material it’s made from. It will vary from $300- $8000. Surprisingly some hand-knotted rugs could cost up to 30k. That being said the average cost of a good rug is $1200-$3300.
What a rug is made of matters. The material a rug is made of will determine the quality of the rug and affect how long it lasts. The main difference between materials often lies in their durability and clean-ability.
Some examples of rug materials are wool, silk, nylon, polyester, viscose, and more.
Another factor is that rugs are generally given their colour with either natural, usually vegetable-based, dyes, or chemical dyes.
Finally, how the rug is made has the most impact on price. The most expensive technique is hand-knotted. The price is slightly cheaper if the rug was made by hand-tufted, woven, or looped. The cheapest way to make a rug would be machine-made.
2. Coffee Table, End Tables, & Entertainment Unit
The next determining factor of cost is your choice in case goods and accent tables.
Hammary, American Drew, and Kincaid are sub-divisions of La-Z-Boy incorporated that manufacture quality and stylish casegood products, such as coffee tables and end tables.
Coffee Tables
A coffee table at La-Z-Boy ranges from about $627 to $3,743. The price of a coffee table depends on the quality of materials and construction.

End Tables
Whether the end table is regular, charging or nesting style can impact the price. At La-Z-Boy, an end table ranges from about $663 to $2,972.
TV Units
Finally, the cost of a TV unit, or entertainment unit, at La-Z-Boy ranges from $2,596 to $3,837 or more.
The price of a tv unit is determined by the size. The sizes range from 36” to 72”. The cost of a tv unit can also drastically increase depending on if it is a regular unit or if the unit has an electric fireplace in it.
3. Area Rug
The anchor of a living room arrangement is a stylish area rug.
The cost of an area rug is dependent on the quality of materials and the construction method used to make it. At La-Z-Boy, we offer area rugs from Surya, costing anywhere from $200 to $15,000 or more.

4. Artwork & Wall Accessories
Wall accessories are also an essential factor in determining the overall cost of a La-Z-Boy living room.
Artwork: $250 – $1200
Believe it or not, La-Z-Boy offers a selection of artwork to compliment your living room furniture selection. The artwork ranges from $250 to $1,200 or more.
Artwork can definitely cost much more when choosing from original pieces. The price can also vary depending on whether you purchase one single piece of art, an art set, or sculptural art.
5. Window Coverings
Window coverings are a great way to pull the design of a living room together. Although La-Z-Boy does not offer window coverings, experts say the average window treatment costs about $400 per window, ranging from $100 to $800.
Curtains & Drapes
Curtains and drapes are the easiest options to install. The costs dramatically vary based on your chosen materials and styles, with basic panels costing as little as $10 and specialized silk costing $1,000 or more.
Elementary Blinds & Shades
You can get aluminum blinds, roller shades, or other options in elementary styles for low prices—somewhere between $7 and $25 each. They’re easy to install but aren’t very durable.
Custom Blinds & Shades
Higher-end blinds and shades offer much more versatility, giving you options like wood, bamboo, and motorized features to allow you to open and close your blinds remotely. They’re also custom-fitted to your unique windows. Basic options here amount to around $100 per window, with extravagant options costing $1,000 or more.
Shutters
Shutters must be custom measured and installed, just like custom blinds and shades. Depending on the materials you use, they can cost as little as $20 per shutter, but the average is closer to $250 to $700.
*Installation cost is something you need to keep in mind

Advice from Zeina: La-Z-Boy In-Home Designer
From my personal experience with my clients, it makes a big difference in cost depending on if you start fresh by purchasing all new pieces or if you are attempting to coordinate new items with pieces you already own. This affects the style and the environment we are building together to make the room reflect your lifestyle.
One of the most important things to me when I am designing is the house itself. The architectural details inspire a lot of the design decisions together with the customer lifestyle.
