Beware the "Three-Sided" Living Room — Interior Designer Christian Bense on This Mistake, and Designing a Versatile Space

Christian’s own living room follow’s all his rules for the ideal space.

A perfect version of any room should see it being multi-functional, and nowhere is that truer than a living room. It needs to be able to work as an intimate, private, and personal space while also being the place you have your friends over to, with enough seating so that no one is perched on the back of a sofa. But also not so much that when it’s just you and your book or the dog and the TV it doesn’t feel like you’re in an otherwise empty airport lounge.

Really, you should be able to have a meeting and a rave in the same space, allowing you to be serious or to dim the lights, turn the music up, and get a little drunk.
