Scale is very important for a room to look right. Your furniture should be scaled according to the space you have. Larger rooms call for larger scaled furniture, and larger scaled pieces tend to look good when you place them with similarly proportioned pieces.

John Elway Home by Bassett, is a complete TV room solution, with motion upholstery, multi-function occasional tables and home theater cabinets. Its generous sized pieces are meant for a large space and would completely clog up a smaller one.
