Utilizing Your Space
Swivel chairs, small stools or low benches are a great way to utilize space in front of a TV or fireplace.
Keeping It Flexible
Consider using nearby ottomans or dining chairs for extra seating that can be pulled into the conversation when there is a big group. These pieces don’t necessarily have to be a permanent part of the arrangement.
Fostering Conversation
Group seating into conversation areas. People feel most comfortable when someone can be seated across from them or diagonally rather than right next to them.
Considering
Sectionals
Sectionals are great for kids piling on and watching a movie since they don’t mind sitting close to each other. They are also great for casual hang-out areas and for balancing out a tricky spot like a corner fireplace.
Considering
Separate Pieces
Separate sofas and chairs are optimal for fostering conversation. They also allow rearranging options for temporary get-togethers or for future flexibility.
