More curves are being seen in furniture pieces that provide a warm and intimate appeal instead of the box style furniture with sharp edges. Instead of laying out furniture around a TV, people are shifting towards furniture placement that encourages togetherness and social interaction.<\/p>\n

A conversation space can be in the living room, a spare bedroom, library, or even the patio\/backyard. The possibilities are endless; it all depends on your personal preference and space within your home.<\/p>\n

How to Design a Conversation Space?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A conversation space places furniture pieces tightly together and centers seating around a coffee table or cocktail ottoman. Choose a round or square table\/ottoman to keep from an oversized table separating the seating too much. The idea of a conversation area is to invite conversation and if seating is too far apart, guests will feel as if they have to raise their voices in order to converse with the other individuals in the room.<\/p>\n

Another important factor to consider is a rug. Use a rug to anchor the space and pull together the various colors used in the seating. A rug will add texture and unify a space, so the furniture doesn\u2019t appear misplaced. If you are decorating a large, open room and want to set apart different spaces for distinctive purposes, use several different rugs to define each of these unique areas within the room.<\/p>\n

The seating you choose for your conversation space depends on the tone you are wanting to represent. If the conversation area will be used mainly for a book club, bible study, or business meetings, you may want to opt for wing chairs or armchairs with high backs. If you want a cozier setting, select a comfy sectional and a couple of cozy chairs.<\/p>\n

Shop Swivel Chairs<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the more popular styles now is grouping together swivel chairs. A swivel chair gives the perfect leeway for individuals to turn slightly to the person on their left or right to further engage in conversation.<\/p>\n

Additional Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Make sure the space has ample lighting whether that be natural, floor lamps, or table lamps. You want to make sure that each guest can see properly from their seat.<\/li>\n
  2. It is likely that guests may have a drink in hand while seated in the area so give them a place to set that drink down. Place small end tables next to each chair or use a tray on top of an upholstered ottoman to give each guest a spot for their glass.<\/li>\n
  3. Instead of getting sets of furniture, mix and match chairs and sofas to give guests a variety of seating styles to choose from. Use this opportunity to bring in unique colors and textures. This can offer great conversation starters.<\/li>\n
  4. If the space will be used for gatherings of friends and family, supply plenty of throw pillows and blankets for guests to use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
