Re-orient all the other furniture pieces to work off that sofa, creating a more intimate living space where great conversations can happen.B6740 P 1758 _ Michael K. Brced.B6741 P 57 _ Martha R.

Then introduce some lighter pieces into the mix. By all means use your sofa, but introduce glass, iron or metal combinations for cocktail tables and end tables.. If you have a very tall unit or hutch in your space, balance it out with a beautiful tall tree or an art arrangement.B6740 P 1754 _ Betty J. Felix.

- Solution: A good rule of thumb to follow is to look for the most dramatic element in the space. In the family room or great room, the focal point is either the fireplace, windows to the view or the entertainment unit. Make sure that your conversation area somehow faces the area or at least part of it.. If you lack a focal point - create one!
