Having a beanbag in your living room isn't wise, according to Amira Johnson, an interior designer at Emerald Doors.
They take up a lot of space, are difficult to fit around other furniture, and soon look tired, Johnson said. Plus, if you've ever owned one that's sprung a leak, you know how difficult it is to clean up the big mess of stuffing, she added.
Stick with structured, square-shaped furniture in living rooms, she told Insider, and leave the beanbags for a child's bedroom or a playroom.
