Many urban apartments are split cleanly between the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room without a lot of overlap in between. Consequently, the living room will become the main communal area to bridge all the other areas of the home, so you'll need to find a means of making the space work for you at any time of the day.

Freshome.com recently featured a Swedish living room that combined a dining and entertainment area quite flawlessly. The secret to the layout was flow - the table and chairs sat next to the window away from the multimedia area, and the small sofa and coffee table were anchored by a white area rug on a far wall.

What pulled the room together was the combination of two large chairs on either sides of the room. These spots are fabulous places to catch up on reading, or to provide an extra seat when guests arrive.
