I'm sitting in it. Ok there's no rug, reflective sphere, or any couches 
yet. There are however 1.5 lovely orange futons and curtains and a TV. 
The colour scheme is not entirely accurate - the walls are two tone and 
the floor carpet is cream.

I don't think there is much choice about where to put the book shelf or 
couches. Somehow I think it looks better in that corner than in front of 
the doors, windows or TV. You'll still be able to get at all the shelves 
(apart from the bottom two) when you stand infront of the couch.

Part of the reason for doing this scene was to help visualise how much 
space the sofas would take.

If any of you (or your wife :-P Jim) have any better suggestions for 
where to put the DVD and video covered bookshelf let me know. 
(Suggestions that don't involve buying a bigger house - only just moved 
into this one)

Thanks. I wasn't sure how to do a swirly artex ceiling so I settled for 
a generic textured ceiling. I think I'd probably prefer a plain one 
anyway....
