Last December (2007), just after I moved into my apartment in Marunouchi, we tried some different furniture arrangements in the lounge room. The first arrangement had both Ben’s and my sofas in the lounge, with the table next to the wall - homely but with the kitchen kind of separated by the two sofas. The second arrangement which has in been in place ever since has had the table in the middle of the room between the two balcony doors, and my sofa in my room. We agreed this gives a bigger perception of space, and given everything’s so cramped, it’s nice to have a fairly spacious lounge room (rare in an apartment of this size/rent).
Here are some photos taken of the first and second arrangements.
