The 4 Revit content pieces that can make a room.

When you are designing a living room, what do you think off, and how do you design? I often find myself asking these questions: 

• How would the owner like to live in this living room?
• Where would they like to sit, what would they want to view?
• Where is the TV, where is the fireplace? 
• How can I have a great view of the TV but not neglect the social atmosphere when there is company?
  

The answer to these questions may come in many forms. Should there be: a loveseat, a sectional, a sofa? How many individual seats are needed? How should they be orientated? How long should the sectional be? With almost limitless possibilities going back and forth between the content browser to find the right pieces can be a drag. Especially if you are experimenting with many different arrangements.

1) Mix sofas, sectionals with individual pieces.  
A great counter-piece to a large sectional is individual smaller sized armchairs.

Don't forget about conversation, if a room will be heavily used to converse with company make sure that the furniture is appropriate for that use.

By placing ones back to the TV/Fireplace or wall you allow the user to have private space for reading, relaxing or enjoying conversation without the distraction of the TV.
