Farther into the space is another casual seating area featuring an overstuffed sofa upholstered in gray linen. Two white ceramic stools flank an oversized, square wooden coffee table, creating a nice contrast of light and dark. A dark brown sisal rug also helps to create a sense of a smaller room.

Tricky space 10: Long, narrow roomThe solution: When it comes to decorating a long, narrow space, you will want to build in a few breaks in the sight line, which visually divide the space and provide areas for different uses. Rather than push the sofa against the wall, try using a smaller-scale loveseat placed perpendicular to the wall as one of your room breaks. You also can use a low cabinet or table behind the sofa to define the line between two main zones; just be sure that the cabinet is level with, or a few inches shorter than, your sofa.

whatever you do. dont do this here. museum versus a home. pretty much hate everything (sorry). clear chair-hate it; all white w./black-hate it; metal/iron thiing - no like; the only thing i think i like is the mirror table thing in the background but not sure cause i can't really see it.

If your space is extra long and narrow and you have room for three to four different spaces, then use rugs and long pieces of furniture (like in the previous photo) across the middle of each space to section off. You can use spaces like this for separate living rooms — one more formal, and the other for TV viewing, with a dining space at either end or in the middle.

Tricky space 5: Living room with multiple doors and windows The solution: If your living room has an element (door, window, fireplace, radiator) that prevents you from placing furniture near the walls, try pulling the arrangement toward the center of the room instead. Use the symmetry of a matching pair of sofas to counteract the chaos of the entries and exits, and add a cozy area rug to anchor the conversation area. Get guidelines on using area rugs
