If your living
room is the setting for large parties, bring intimacy and a comfortable sense
of scale to the room by dividing it into two conversational groupings with a
path between them. Placing one sofa with its back to this path underscores the
separation between the two groups, as do the area rugs anchoring them.
If you're more
likely to lounge in front of the fireplace than sit on a sofa, keep a supply of
oversize floor pillows and ottomans on hand. Ottomans can move where you need
them for seating, or they can stand in as side tables.
Placing the furniture diagonally gives a boxy room some
flavor. The diagonal also creates a welcoming pathway into the seating group.
Use the sofa and
coffee table to establish the diagonal axis and arrange additional seating on
the same axis. To subtly anchor the seating group to the room's architecture,
align the area rug with the fireplace wall.
