Multiple sofas. When space and budget allow, several sofas can be arranged around oversize cocktail tables, as has been done in this transitional space. Notice that the square table is centered between the two sofas opposite each other, while the narrow table serves the sofa opposite the stone fireplace. Though this space breaks out of the 8-foot conversation arc, each sofa is its own seating group. The lower ceiling maintains intimacy, and a generous circulation space around the room keeps each sofa’s seating area sufficiently private. A room needs to be at least 20 feet (610 cm) square for an arrangement like this.
Round. Another more recent trend is the round dining table. Those who like to have intimate dinner parties find these can foster lively conversation, since each person can clearly face every other. Of course, round bistro tables of as little as 2 ft. (61 cm) in diameter have been around a long time, and many breakfast tables are 42 in. or 48 in. (107 or 122 cm). But a formal dining table needs to be at least 60 in. (152 cm) in diameter and can easily be 72 in. (183 cm) as well.
Size: 66 square feet (6.1 square meters); 11 feet by 6 feet (3.3 by 1.8 meters)

Televisions. Formal living rooms are frequently saved for entertaining guests; however, some people have only one living room and will want to place a television in it. Since televisions now come in a wide variety of sizes, arranging furniture for them depends on which TV is chosen and how it’s used. Considering that the average screen today is 42 to 50 in. (107 to 127 cm), you will want to keep your seating within 10 feet (305 cm) of it. Also, carefully consider the height. Having the screen set 15 to 20 in. (38 to 51 cm) above the floor has always worked, but mounting it above a fireplace is becoming more common, as has been done in this room. In cases like this, the screen will be 48 to 60 in. (122 to 152 cm) above the floor, and you will be looking upward from your seating area to view it. It is best to place a TV out of a circulation route so that people don’t frequently walk in front of the set.
