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

Living room inspiration: a visual boundary between shared zones.

Plan in this order

  1. Mark the screen and the main viewing seats on the measured plan.
  2. Check window reflections from seated eye positions at different times of day.
  3. 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
Place the family room near kitchen and garden, with a closable boundary to formal rooms.
Detail
Use washable textiles, acoustic soft furnishings and dimmable ambient light.
Trade-off
A fully open connection feels spacious but lets household noise travel.
  • Check noise transfer to bedrooms
  • Review garden view and glare
