Usually a living room or hall is the first room one notices on entering a home and must, therefore, be the most comfortable and relaxing zone in your house.

-Arrange your furniture in such a way that one can easily move around without tripping.

-If you have a fairly large hall, then designate separate areas or zones for various activities like dining, lounging, reading and watching television.

-If your hall is small, then opt for a multi-functional arrangement by placing the seating or the dining zone in front of or near to the entertainment or television area.

-Decorative screens, flooring, rugs and even art-work play an important role in defining the zones in the living room.

- A wall can be made the focal point of the living room. This can be done by adding interesting accent pieces like paintings and photographs.
