An extended space can feel overwhelming and cold. Functional zones on a large living room attractively break the space and add coziness to the seating areas. Different paint colors, room dividers, area rugs, book storage units can be used to define the spaces. Area rugs and small furniture pieces are excellent for creating zones in a spacious living room. Also, area rugs are easy ideas to anchor a space, arranging furniture around the perimeter, and designing a warm seating area.
