hi, i'm ann myrick and today i'm going toshow you how to arrange living room furniture. what you need to think about is the trafficpattern, the doors, when you come into a room, what you're going to see, how large your roomis? is it a room where you can make two or three seating areas or is it just one smallroom? this is a small kind of dining room/living room combination. so what i've done is, it'snot really designated my walls and so i've just automatically put the living room ina grouping and the dining room in a grouping. this was really the best way i felt like becausei don't like, i like to be able to see out and see the whole room. so of course i putthe couch. i don't like the back of the couch, so much. some couches have great backs, somedon't. so i didn't want this couch to be able
to walk in the door and be able to see theback of it, so i put the couch against this wall. and then to create a grouping of chairsi have two leather chairs that i put side by side, and then put the coffee table inthe middle. and then just for lighting purposes and storage purposes put a chest on this sideand a round older table on that side. now one thing you'll see about this dining roomis it's not, nothing is a set other than these two leather chairs. several years ago, justa whole set, buying a living room, a set of furniture in my opinion it's always been boring.people are really kind of starting to get into that idea, of you buy one great pieceof furniture and then put something else with it. so you'll see in this room i have marble,i have pine, i have black, i have old, and
i have new. so i have kind of an eclecticfeel and when you look at it you're not bored. you don't see the same piece over and overagain, you see different pieces. so think about what you need in the living room andhow big your living room is. and i'm a process person. buy a few pieces, step back, is thatenough if it's not buy a few more or stop at that point. but you don't have to buy everythingright then. and i'm ann myrick and that's how you arrange living room furniture.
