Common questions
How do I arrange furniture around a fireplace?
Make the fireplace the focal point, then place the main seating and coffee table so people can face it and one another.
Where should a rug go in a living room?
Use it to define the seating area, with enough of the furniture on or near the rug to make the group feel connected.

Leave a clear route from the door to the windows and around the edges of the seating group.
