Summary for A Room for Living: Private and Public Aspects in the Experience of the Living Room

The thing that I didn't realize until later is that children were not involved in the study of this article. That was kind of a bummer but it did focus on various pairs of adults. My residential space consists of a single family with 2 young children. I decided to use this article anyway because I know that the parents will want alone time at some point and I think that this article can cater to all ages even though there were no children used in the study. Anyway, this article was all about how to use the living room. Basically people would want to utilize this space as a place of multi-use, a comfortable area where they can feel like getting away from their every day lives yet able to accommodate guests. Incorporating memories in the living space may also heighten the sense of solitude or a connection with the family. The way you can achieve this is by incorporating framed photos or displaying some decorative piece obtained on a caribbean vacation get-away, for example. It also describes that the living room is a natural space for a variety of activities so it's nice to have access to other parts of the home. Inhabitants would like to enjoy time alone without feeling lonely.
