Formal living: Paired, symmetrical, no TV

A formal living room for entertaining guests. Furniture is arranged in a symmetrical conversation circle: two sofas facing each other or one sofa with two paired armchairs, with a low table in the center; a fireplace or a large artwork is at the symmetrical center. No television, no electronics, no clutter. Lighting consists of four to six dispersed low-intensity light sources, with no main ceiling light. This room is usually empty. Avoid: placing a television and audio-visual equipment in this room, making the furniture arrangement asymmetrical, using a single main ceiling light, making the space look like an everyday living room.

一個用來待客的正式起居。家具圍成一個對稱的談話圈:兩張沙發面對面或一張沙發配兩張成對的扶手椅,中間一張矮几;壁爐或一件大作品在對稱的中心。沒有電視、沒有電器、沒有雜物。照明是四到六個分散的低照度光源,沒有主燈。這個房間平常是空的。避免:在這個房間放電視與影音設備、讓家具的配置不對稱、使用單一的天花主燈、讓空間看起來像每天在用的客廳。
