The living room is truly the heart of the home. It is where families gather in the evenings, where bachelors can put their feet up after a long work day, where friends and guests make themselves comfy during hosted parties, where you watch your favorite show, and the list goes on. You can snuggle up under a blanket with a good book or host a board game night. However, if your living room isn’t cozy and designed to your liking, you may not end up spending any time in it at all.
