More natural way to describe object position in Japanese?

Basically, I'm describing the locations of objects, and it's continuously "object no ue ni object ga arimasu. object no tonari ni another object ya another object ga arimasu"

Is there a way to make location/position descriptions sound more natural?

    You could say: Sofa no tonari ni terebi ga arimasu. Sono tonari ni tsukue to isu ga arimasu. Tenjou ni LED denkyuu ga miemasu. Tsukue ni chiisai denki ga tatte imasu.

    Try to use different verbs. Make references to the sentence before.
