Three Simple Steps for a More Functional Living Room

Of all the rooms in your home, none is as dependent on furniture as the living room. Think about it: besides the fireplace, living rooms are generally large, blank spaces which depend completely on furniture to make them functional for you and your guests. Of course, it's not enough to simply place the furniture along the walls like you would in a bedroom or office; instead, you need to arrange the individual pieces so that everyone in the room can easily interact. Luckily, you only need to follow three simple steps to get a space with plenty of form and function! Whether you're staging your home to sell or just want to maximize its livability, every homeowner can benefit from smart design when it comes to arranging their living room furniture.
