Arranging furniture in your room

When you're arranging furniture, remember the following points.

• Always leave enough space around furniture for people to move freely.
• Don't place all your seating against the walls or your room will look like an institution.
• Keep furniture clear of windows and doors.
• If you want to encourage conversation, don't place chairs and sofas too far away from one another.
• Whatever you do, don't clutter the room by trying to force too much furniture into it.
• If you have a large room or a long room, you could try placing your furniture so you have two distinct areas. One area could be for conversations or listening to music, while another area could be for watching TV or playing card or board games.
