Large living rooms

We all dream of open floor-plans and large rooms; a living room that can be stuffed with furniture and still have excess wall space; and areas that will afford us a freedom we've never had before. We all
want this.

Unfortunately, when we get it, we quickly discover a problem: that a large living room seems too much. It swallows our personal style and makes everything seem too small, too wasted and too ineffectual. All of that extra space has left us wanting to fill it up and tone it down.

Of course, most of us aren't sure how to manage that. We stumble through attempts and the only result we find is frustration.

You shouldn't have to go through that, not when decorating is meant to be a way to express your personality through design. It's not meant to make you despise the very room you've been waiting for all of your life.
