Living Room Organization and
Decorating Ideas

Usually these "living" rooms have 3 main features:
Each one has their associated clutter catchers.
In every room there will be one
architectural feature that draws the eye.
This one feature (in designer's terms is
known as the focal point) establishes a
visual uniqueness in the room and
determines how to manage that space
and place furniture.
It may be a fireplace, a bay window, high ceilings or any other unique architectural characteristic. The trick here is to first identify it and then begin building around it.
