Coordinate screen position, seating and daylight so viewing works without dominating other living activities.

Plan in this order
- Mark the screen and the main viewing seats on the measured plan.
- Check window reflections from seated eye positions at different times of day.
- Place power and media connections where equipment can be serviced.
Worked example
Afternoon window reflections make the screen difficult to see from the preferred sofa.
Test screen and seating positions at that hour, then adjust orientation or add controllable shading before fixing media points.
How to test it
Test the layout with a temporary screen position and daylight conditions.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Keep a direct path between seating, entry and bathroom; place chairs where rising is comfortable.
- Detail
- Use stable furniture, high-contrast edges and layered glare-controlled lighting.
- Trade-off
- More open floor improves movement but may reduce the number of seating choices.
- Walk routes with usual mobility aids
- Check light levels and reflections at seated height
