so in a lot of homes that are especially
here in America there's a lot of
fireplaces or the TV is the focal point
because at the end of the day you want
to relax and watching the TV it's just
what more a modern family is looking at
even if you don't have a TV fireplaces
are really big especially in North
America where you get that cooler
climate and so when you have furniture
that is focused on those areas you
really don't want it to feel like you
know it's just stacked and it's an
audience just staring at the TV you
still want it to feel like it's a
cohesive sitting arrangement that people
can have conversation as well as either
watching the TV or focusing on the
fireplace so remember not to hold your
furniture hostage it doesn't need to be
all against the wall to make it feel
interesting
bring it into the room a little bit
maybe flank the TV or the fireplace with
either a chair on either side or you can
do stools on either side I love a nice
stool with a throw over it in front of a
fireplace and what's great about that is
that they're low enough that if you even
have a TV over the fireplace it doesn't
get in the way of the sight line when
people are watching TV and you're having
a conversation but at the same time it
doesn't feel like it's just a sofa or a
sectional staring at that focal point so
just remember that when you're doing all
of these different components and you're
adding them in front of the TV or the
fireplace that you want to create a
conversation zone as well as looking at
your focal point
