Large pieces just naturally go against the walls. Who wants to clutter and crowd the middle of the room with them? The desk doesnt Who belong in a dark corner. would want to sit at it and write? Sofas and chairs are usually grouped together. Its only natural to have them so if you have a group of people who want to talk to each other, and not all the way across the room. Easy chairs, on the other hand, are usually placed in a corner by themselves. This gives a secluded corner because this chair is used for reading and relaxing, and this is done alone. Convenience, however, is not enough. If you want a room to be thoroughly pleasing, see that you have one single grouping or a focal point which is so interesting it cannot be missed. Focal points in the room give zest to convenient arrangements: theyre like the seasonings in food, essential, for full enjoyment. Sometimes rooms have their focal points already in them.

In this case the fireplace would probably carry only two chairs to either side, with possibly a small low table in the center, or not as desired. If you place a sofa at right angles to the fireplace, be certain to place two heavy chairs right across from it. If the wall against which the chairs are placed has a window or two, one chair will be sufficient as the upright of the window will help to give balance. Desks can be placed the two windows to help balance the wall on the other side, and at the same time give good light at the desk.

Place against this a sofa, add table to either side, if you have the room, and place a low table in front of the sofa to be flanked by chairs or small settees or whatever goes best in the room you have available.
