home and garden interior decoratingHow do you place furniture in a den?
When entertaining a group in your den, you want to create a feeling of warmth and coziness. Place a couple of comfortable chairs opposite the couch for a nice conversation area. Add movable side chairs to draw up to the conversation area. The furniture placement should allow for proper circulation.
