Ideal Drawing Room Layout
Living rooms work best in the North, East, or North-East of the home when the plan allows. Keep the center free for movement, and place the sofa with a solid wall behind it.
- Prefer North, East, or North-East for the main living zone.
- Seat the head of the family facing North or East when possible.
- Put heavy cabinets and TV units on South or West walls.
- Avoid clutter piles and broken décor that dull the first impression.

- Air the room daily so guest energy stays fresh.
