(my) philosophy of the living room:
social. not a bedroom. but also lounging: must have music, books, tables to put your drink/smoke. not a tv-- not a tv room (tv kills conversation). maybe a projector (hidden) for big things, movies.

the problem i have witht hat is that it creates unrealistic expectations. my living room is full of records, cds, books, dvds, magazines, kleenex boxes, ashtray, incense burners, coffee cups-- the crap of life. i can't imagine a living room where i can't sit down and have a drink and put it somewhere, or a living room without big speakers and a stereo. oh yes big speakers-- that bose bullshit-- aghhhh.....
another function of the living room: a place for guests to crash-- comfortably, but for one night only...
but anyway. many people have living rooms for public display, not for living, and that's annoying.
