To take advantage of a focal point.
Floating living room design.
Here the fireplace and the sofa immediately establish a sense of welcoming balance in the room and create a centralized focal point.
It can even help create more intentional pathways and traffic flow in your room and establish zones in open spaces.
Hung above white beadboard and a small black desk the shelves create a functional gallery wall of personal items.
Designers will always say to pick a focal point in a room and arrange furniture around that distinctive feature.

It s also a great trick if you re lacking wall space.
When that focal point is in the middle of a long space as in christina s living room above seating needs to be brought in closer to accommodate.
Floating furniture is a great way to optimize your room especially if it has an untraditional layout.
