Cozy den template
A small room done well: a loveseat, a 65-inch TV and a soundbar. Small rooms can take bigger screens than people expect, because you sit closer.

What it gets right
- From the loveseat about eight feet away, a 65-inch fills about 32° of your view: cinema-sized without being overwhelming.
- A soundbar avoids speakers crowding a small floor.
- Carpet and soft furnishings keep a small room from sounding boxy.
Trade-offs to resolve
- In small rooms bass peaks are strong; the bass map shows the spots to avoid for the seat.
- Keep the loveseat a little off the back wall if you can; even a foot helps the bass.
