Out of Focus

Be sure to give each room a focus and a purpose. Groupings of sofas and chairs make good design sense when they are placed with intention and are not shoved against the wall. Traditional rooms often have furniture arranged around a fireplace.

In today’s homes, it is appropriate (and realistic) for the focal point of a room to be the television. Ground your space by using an area rug. Just be sure it is large enough to fit under the front legs of your sofa and chairs.
