Select and Position Main Seating

What happens in this clip

The first step in physical arrangement is to select and position your main seating. This typically involves a sofa, a sectional, or several accent chairs. Arrange these pieces around a central focal point. If your room has a TV or a fireplace, this naturally becomes your focal point. Alternatively, if neither is present, center the main seating around a coffee table to create an intimate conversational area. Explore different layouts such as facing the focal point, flanking it, or circling a coffee table.

Goal: Establish the primary seating arrangement around a focal point
