Here’s an increasingly popular new living room setup: a home theater-centric design. All the hallmarks of a new style home theater are there—the circular sectional sofa positioned close to the huge plasma screen; the pool table; the wall sconces; and yes, the Rock Band drum set.

How do you feel about this living room set? There’s something a little too bachelor-like about it for us. For one, our living room is not all about television. We like to entertain in our living space and it doesn’t seem like you could do that very well given how close the sofa is to the television. Besides, it might be bad for your eyes! What we’d prefer to see if the sofa placed a little farther from the plasma screen with a nice designer coffee table in front of it. In fact, we’d like to see a different sofa design. I realize it might not be the perfect home theater sofa, but maybe a more rectangular sofa would accentuate this space better.
