A sofa is often the largest piece of furniture in a living room, with its placement having a big impact on the overall design, layout and feel of the space.

When exploring where to put a sofa, many of us only have a handful of options to choose from, but should we be avoiding placing a sofa in front of a door for successful feng shui furniture placement? We speak to the designers in the know.

In short, yes, a sofa can face the door, sometimes that may be the only viable option for your living room layout ideas for example, preventing a sofa from facing the door in a small living room with limited space may lead to an awkward layout that makes no sense.

The perfect sofa placement can vary depending on the size of your living room and the overall layout and design you are trying to create. So, to help you make the right design decision for the sofa in your living room (door-facing or not) we have spoken with a collection of interior designers who share their top tips for finding the perfect placement.

'Many sofas are placed in front of the longest wall in the room,' says Paul Fleming from Fleming and Howland (opens in new tab). As one of the most common areas to place a sofa, this positioning usually results in a door being at the side or in front of the sofa but usually not direct facing. Paul continues, 'while a door might be in your eyeline from the sofa in this spot, few actually choose to place their sofa directly opposite a door with nothing else in between.'

Furniture designer and founder of MENO Home, Jerri Hobdy (opens in new tab), also adds, 'generally if a sofa is a lower back and more contemporary, it may work well being floated in the space, and if it is a more traditional, upright and high-backed sofa, you may consider placing it along a wall to make sure you are not creating awkward levels within the room.'

If you're placing your sofa against the longest wall in the room, or by the wall where there are no architectural interruptions from windows or fireplaces, aim to position it so the door is at the side of your eye-line, rather than directly across.

'Sofas should never be placed facing the door, but rather be placed in a central location facing the focal point of the room. The focal point does not need to be a TV, it could be a fireplace, a beautiful window with a view, or a stunning piece of artwork. Having the sofa flow with your focal point will create a more visually appealing and functional space,' advises Alyssa Hall, lead designer at Donna Mondi (opens in new tab) Interior Design.

This placement can work well in both small and large living rooms, one sofa can be placed directly in front of a focal point, such as a TV or fireplace, as shown in this gray living room designed by Kimberley Harrison Interiors (opens in new tab), or multiple sofas and seats can face one another surrounding the focal point; establishing an intimate and engaging seat space.

'The only instance a sofa should face the door is in a small room. This is a simple way to effectively space plan the layout to ensure there is good flow within a small space,' says interior designer, Alyssa Hall.

If you're working with a small living room layout, London-based interior designer, Benjamin Ibanez (opens in new tab) advises, 'small room layouts often mean that your sofa will have to face the door, but this doesn't have to detract from the space. It simply means you have to pick the right size and type of sofa and be very specific about its positioning. A good option if you have the space is an L-shaped sofa, as this means you can make use of two walls and create an area within the room. You can then enhance this design with an area rug pushed up against the sofa to clearly divide the living room.'

In a larger living room, to help the space feel more snug, it is often advised to move your furniture away from the walls, and establish a seating zone in the center of the larger room (or around a focal point). This well help create a cozy seat space, and can divide the larger area into smaller, more inviting sections.

NYC-based interior designer, Isfira Jensen (opens in new tab) says, 'when it comes to determining the layout of furnishings, specifically a sofa, the main consideration should be how the sofa (and the room) is intended to be used.

'If the space will be used primarily for entertaining guests, facing the sofa towards the door will create an inviting and welcoming atmosphere. However, if the intent is to use the room for relaxation or watching TV, facing it away from the door and towards the TV, can help create a more private and comfortable environment.'

We all use our homes differently, and thinking carefully about the room in which your sofa will be used day in and day out, as well as what other furniture will be placed in the space, will help you decide on the best spot and most functional layout.

When creating a successful design, their are many design principles that interior designers follow to establish a harmonious and well-thought out scheme, such as balance, rhythm, repetition and symmetry.

Balance refers to distributing the right visual weight around the room, this can be everything from furniture to paint ideas, lighting and accessories, and is a principle used to help to guide the eye around the room, ensuring there is a good sense of flow.

As interior designer, Alyssa Hall says, 'the sofa should be placed in a way that balances the room and creates a good flow of traffic. Avoid placing it in a way that blocks any natural paths or creates awkward angles.'

When deciding on your sofa position, it is important to bear these principles in mind, and assess how the sofa works with the other design elements in the room.

Interior designer, Isfira Jensen also supports this and says, 'special consideration should always be given to traffic flow in a room when space planning. If the sofa faces the door yet blocks the flow of traffic, making it difficult for people to move around the room comfortably, it's likely better to place the sofa against a wall.'

It is often perceived that placing a sofa in front of a window is a design faux-pas, as the view from the window should be appreciated rather than ignored. However, as we have discussed, every space is different, and as Benjamin Ibanez explains, a sofa under a window can actually make for a successful room layout.

'If possible, the ideal placement of a sofa is with its back against the window. Not only do you negate any glare from the window while sitting on the sofa, but your sofa can really shine in the natural light. And don't worry about the light affecting the color or lifespan of your sofa, if you're investing in one of the best couches, is will be built to look fantastic throughout its lifetime.

If your living room opens up to a window at the back for example, placing your sofa underneath the window while facing the door makes the most sense, as this will draw the eye to the natural light source and the central seat space. To avoid blocking light from a low-set window, choose a low-profile sofa design.'

Feng shui in interior design refers to the ancient Chinese practice that roots itself in the philosophy of how arranged objects and certain colors can affect the overall harmony and balance of a room, with good feng shui establishing an overall positive and inviting energy in a space, also know as, Chi.

In terms of the right couch placement for successful feng shui, your sofa should be placed in a position that enhances the overall flow of the room, rather than acting as an obstacle.

It is also advised for harmonious feng shui that a couch is to be placed against a wall, helping to establish a more grounding, stable and supporting atmosphere.

Paul Flemming from Fleming and Howland concludes, 'it can be tricky to decide where the best placement for a sofa is in a room with many debating whether a sofa can face the door. But overall, yes, a sofa can face the door, and it can actually offer a warm welcome, especially in small rooms.'

Whether you opt to have your sofa away from the door in a larger living room, or embrace a door-facing placement in a smaller space, as long as the placement works in harmony with the overall design and size of your space, that is all that matters.

A review of Sisters in Yellow, Kawakami Miekos latest novel to be released in Japan, which is a noir story of a girl who runs away from home and finds a new family, until bad luck leads her down an increasingly dangerous road.

From the beginning, a disquieting atmosphere hangs over Kawakami Miekos latest novel Kiiroi ie, which has the English title Sisters in Yellow. The 40-year-old narrator Hana learns by chance online that a woman she lived with for several years has been accused of assault, intimidation, and illegal confinement.

From there the story jumps back in time to the twentieth century, transporting the reader to nighttime Tokyo redolent with the smells of alcohol and cigarette smoke.

The teenage Hana discovers that her mothers ex-boyfriend has stolen the money she had sweated to save working a part-time job, a sum she intended to use to leave home. In despair, she runs away and starts living with her mothers friend Kimiko. The two open a bar called Lemon in the chic Tokyo neighborhood of Sangenjaya. Soon after, Ran, a girl who was working as a hostess at a cabaret club, and Momoko, a runaway from a wealthy family, move in with them.

Hanas lonely former life is replaced by one surrounded with laughing voices, as the four build a kind of family. One night, however, Lemon burns down in a fire, and the story changes in tone.

With their source of income gone, the four depend on a small amount of cash kept hidden in a can in the attic of their home. Kimiko is short on life skills and Hana left all her personal ID behind when she ran away and thus cannot open a bank account, rent a new property, or find stable employment. While Hana looks desperately for a way to earn money, Ran and Momoko spend their days idly, making little effort to try to find a job, as if they are trying to ignore their situation.

From this predicament, Kawakami builds a superb, mesmerizing work of entertainment, foreshadowing developments along the way. Hana found a family, but can she find happiness? What is Kimikos true character? And where will the fours lives together lead next?

From wanting to hold Hana back from traveling along an increasingly dangerous road, we become fascinated in seeing how far she will fall.

The Japanese title Kiiroi ie could be translated directly as The Yellow House, but ie, which plays a symbolic role, also suggests home or family. Kimiko, Hana, Ran, and Momoko all have issues with their biological families, but living in a house together, they come to depend on and trust each other, finding what appears to be happiness for a time.

If you put yellow things in the west, it brings good fortune. Kimikos belief in feng shui leads her to collect more than 50 yellow objects and place them in the corresponding part of the house. Hana keeps the yellow corner clean, dusting and polishing it every day.

At first, this seems to be the reason for the books title, but a chilling revelation later shows its true meaning. As the characters verge ever closer to criminality, the plot continues to accelerate, like a runaway train set for disaster. A coda from Hana brings an ambiguous kind of resolution.

Kawakami broke through after winning the Akutagawa Prize for her 2008 novella Chichi to ranan expanded and extended version of the story was published as Natsu monogatari in 2019, which was the basis for the English Breasts and Eggs, translated by Sam Bett and David Boyd. In Hevun (trans. by Bett and Boyd as Heaven), she told a story of bullying in the world of teenage boys, immune to reason. Her essay Kimi wa akachan (Youre a Baby), however, was a warm and sometimes comical look at her own pregnancy and childbirth.

Her versatility in topic and style is displayed once again in her first noir novel, which is also a thought-provoking family narrative that remains with the reader when the book is over.

As much as I love my boyfriend, every morning I have to wake up next to him, I wish I was anywhere else. As soon as the soles of his feet hit the floor of our bedroom, so begins his tyrannical morning reign, complete with incessant demands to get up and complaints about how he cant believe its so late.

The irony is that no matter how hard he tries, he cant make himself into a morning person. He always wakes up later than hed like, and so all of his mornings follow the same frantic pattern. And, because we live together, mine do too even though Im also, begrudgingly, not a morning person. Id happily lie in until midday on a weekend, but, like theinsufferable boyfriend stereotype, hes not content unless getting on with the day; yes, even if we went to bed at 3AM. So, who wins?

When you move in with a partner, you both have to compromise on a bunch of stuff the feng shui of each room, whether you buy smooth or crunchy peanut butter, and, inevitably, what your nights and mornings look like. And, even though theres benefits to the latter, theres downsides too. You have to take someone else into account with your idiosyncratic nighttime habits no more cutting your nails in bed, for example, nor falling asleep with ASMR purring from your laptop on the next pillow. Their presence might also encourage habits you didnt have before midnight snacks, maybe, or staying up late to pontificate over whetherLogan underlined Kendalls name or crossed it out. Getting up early, say, for the gym, might also become a Herculean task when you have to leave someone else in bed to do it.

Sure, maybe we shouldnt be so codependent, instead going quietly about our respective mornings, but the being-in-love-and-attuned-to-one-another bit of the relationship tends to get in the way of that. As such, although were all in control of our own actions, its easy to blame your partner if you feel like your familiar routine is being screwed up. Then, suddenly, what were once small, insignificant grievances may start to impact the harmony of your wider relationship, la me and my boyfriend coming to loggerheads over his totalitarian morning regime.

If you start the day in the wrong way with conflicting morning routines, then you may end up feeling resentment and irritation, and the rest of the day may not go as well as planned, says life coachAnnie Fontaine. So what can you do? Its essential in relationships to understand whats important to each other, what makes your partner happy, and what is non-negotiable within the relationship.

Fontaine suggests agreeing on certain things, like the sound of your alarm(s), switching on the big light, and how much noise you can make. Plan ahead of each week how you will both function in the mornings, she continues. Compromise, kindness, and reliability is needed to navigate successfully.

While I resent compromise and kindness, particularly when the duvets being yanked off me at 8AM, theres merits to finding a middle ground, as differing routines can actually affect the quality of your sleep. Our circadian rhythms have a massive part to play in what time we wake and how alert we feel in the mornings, explains Maja Schaedel, the co-founder ofThe Good Sleep Clinic. It can be quite tricky if a night owl is in a relationship with a morning lark as this can lead to people becoming out of sync with their own circadian rhythms, which can disrupt sleep quality and even contribute to insomnia.

In order to create positive habits you need to create new, neural pathways. Its all about repetition of thinking and actions.

Unfortunately, Schaedel says, as our circadian rhythms are largely genetically determined, theres not much we can do to completely turn ourselves into morning people or night owls. Meaning: compromise it is. This might involve going to bed at different times, sleeping in separate rooms, or adapting your behaviour in the mornings.

The good news, though, is that the more you practise considerate habits, the easier theyll come to you in future. Neural pathways are etched into the brain that enable you to do different things, without thinking, says Fontaine. In order to create positive habits you need to create new, neural pathways. Its all about repetition of thinking and actions.

To try and encourage this habit-making, my boyfriend bought a SAD alarm clock, in an attempt to rouse him and, sadly, me earlier everyday. The clock simulates sunlight, gradually getting brighter and brighter, so when the alarm eventually goes off, its like waking up with the curtains open (which we cant do because we live on a main road). Its been fairly effective, generally helping us both wake up earlier than usual.

But if Id hoped it would be as simple as that a one-stop solution to his angst about waking up late that would result in happier and more relaxing mornings I was wrong. The week he got the lamp, I decided Id start going to the gym before work, meaning I needed my alarm to go off over an hour before his, effectively he claims rendering his useless. So here we are, muddling through with the occasional disgruntled 5AM groan, skipped gym class, or angry lie in. Neither of us are especially happy about it which, I guess, is the ultimate compromise.

People living in a Surrey village are "playing Feng Shui" in the hopes of being able to use their phones after being left without "any signal" for eight months. An O2 telephone has been blamed as the source of the problem in Smallfield, near Gatwick. Angry residents want refunds for the lack of signal and allege to have been ignored by O2 since the problems began.

Even for villagers who arent O2 customers, getting signal is still an ongoing problem. Jacqui Lacroix, who runs her own cleaning business, called Jacquis Cleaning, says she has missed out on clients rearranging appointments because the texts and calls just dont come through.

Jacqui said: I dont get texts if there is a problem, one customer told me not to come and I didn't even get his text. Some people dont have landlines, the thing is O2 dont seem to be working on it. I was told it was because of the trees and they dont have permission to remove them. O2 said they are going to find a new site.

You cant get signal, it is just a nightmare. You couldnt call 999 in an emergency. My son was ill and I had to walk down the road to get signal. Its affecting everyones lives.

It is tricky for villagers to make online payments for food shops and other orders because they cannot receive authentication messages from their banks. Annalisa Cinque, who runs Bounce Smallfield, said: "I transferred to O2 a year ago as I run my business from the heart of Smallfield and my understanding was that O2 was the best provider. I can get no reception at all, for the three to four hours I am here so am uncontactable which leaves my business suffering as a result of this. It is quite despicable. And no compensation."

Another said: I live in Smallfield, close to the M23. My husband and I are both on O2. Since last September weve not been able to make or receive calls, or send or receive texts due to lack of signal. Reported to O2 and fobbed off with some excuse about trees. This has a massive impact on our lives.

We both have mothers in their 90s who dont live close by and there have been times when we didnt receive calls from the emergency services when there have been problems and likewise couldnt make urgent calls - instead had to drive out somewhere to get a signal.

We cannot use any online sites or apps where a security code is required and sent by text - as we dont receive texts, particularly important for banking. I didnt receive the recent government alert text. My husband did, but only because he was in Horley and I was at home (with no signal). We dont receive medical appointments or reminders or the like as we have no signal for the texts. I work from home which requires a text-generated code. No chance! Have to drive out to receive the code text or play Feng Shui with the phone in the loft of the house to try to get one bar or signal.

Contractors who come to the house to work cannot make or receive calls to their suppliers or offices. Its shambolic that in this day and age a supplier such as O2 can get away with not providing the service theyre so quick to charge for. Maybe Ofcom need to get involved.

Manjinder Singh said: "It has been a massive issue for day-to-day life. If we have relatives, they make fun of the area. My parents have medical conditions and sometimes we need to call an ambulance. But because we dont have any reception, we always worry that if, God forbid, we have to urgently call the ambulance then what will happen? Also, we had to miss so many doctors' phone calls too."

A spokesperson from O2 said: Were aware that some customers in the Smallfield area may be experiencing intermittent coverage issues, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, weve been unable to access the local mast to upgrade services as planned, so are working on an alternative solution to improve services for local people.

Surrey village where people can't use their phones: 'A nightmare' - Surrey Live

Ive only been a mother for 11 days so far so I havent quite gone through all the trials and tribulations of motherhood. My journey through pregnancy was very smooth, apart from some carpel tunnel-like symptoms, so there werent any surprises until the actual birthing part. I think a lot of mothers downplay the pain factor and all the gruesome and gory details. Childbirth is so unglamorous! I opted for an elective C-section and it came as such a surprise to me when I had three nurses pushing down on me to squeeze the baby out through the incision, which the doctor didnt make large enough because she underestimated the size of his head. I felt like I was being resuscitated from below the rib cage down. It gave me a lot of bruising but otherwise the whole procedure was quick and efficient.

The next day was the absolute worst though when they take out your catheter (also didnt know about this partclearly I was very naive and unprepared!) and make you take your first wee. The pain is excruciating pain, it feels like someone just Samurai-sliced your belly. I had some visitors at the time and had to make everyone leave the room as they wheeled in a portable chair with a bedpan, even though the bathroom was just a few steps away. Mortifying.

I also didnt realise theres a thing called lochia (postpartum bleeding) which lasts for about a month after birth, or however long it takes for your uterus to contract back to normal. People dont really share the behind-the-scenes on social media, so I never quite pictured myself sitting in diapers in the middle of the night with my breasts out, listening to the whirring sound of my pump, whilst the cats looked on in amusement.

Engorged breasts and breastfeeding itself is another story and there are constantly surprises. Most mothers I know hated it and so many still get mastitis [inflammation of the breast tissue]. You learn as you go but theres definitely not enough education on the subject.

I have such a newfound appreciation for what the human body is capable of. All the pain in the world is worth it and you would do it over and over again, to see and hold your baby.

The Buffalo Bills front office has been busy as of late, looking for opportunities to improve the teams roster as well as its salary cap situation.

Among the tasks at hand have been adding to certain areas of need among position groups.

While weve seen a number of new faces join the team this offseason, some areas still require long term solutions.

With that, here are some roster needs the team must still address.

Inside Linebacker

That Buffalo didnt pursue one of the top players at this position in the draft, or make a strong pursuit in free agency, could be very telling.

Its unknown whether Brandon Beane and company had a first round grade on one, or whether they believe the right player is in another draft or free agency period altogether.

What we do know is, for now, it appears they are rolling with the players on their depth chart rotation.

They may need to add talent to the position at some point, as its the lone area of need that saw no new additions during the offseason to fill the absence left by the departure of starter Tremaine Edmunds.

Defensive Tackle

The one position that Brandon Beane expressed hed wished theyd found in the draft was at defensive tackle.

Free agent Poona Ford was brought in afterward as an addition for the season, but expect Beane to continue to look to add talent and competition to improve at the position.

It sounds like there may be unfinished business there.

Running Back

Even after signing Damien Harris, the team added Latavius Murray, both on one-year deals, those short term pacts could imply those roster spots in the running backs position group could be placeholders to a long term solution.

They also signed Fresno State RBJordan Mims as an un-drafted free agent.

Last years second round draft pick James Cook appears headed for RB1 duties, and Nyheim Hines figures to factor in as well. Harris is the big bodied back the team has missed.

Still, the short contracts suggest the Bills may still be looking for their long term RB2.

Offensive Line

Some strong additions to the position group rotation have the Bills O-Line replenished with new depth and talent by way of free agency and the draft.

Still, the starting five players who take the field may give indicate whether that depth is enough, and that talent sufficient.

This spot could go to an area like the the Bills pass rush as well, but for now with the offensive line talent yet unproven, it remains to be seen how strong that unit is yet. More additions could be coming.
