In homes that lack a parlor or drawing room, the living room may also function as a reception room for guests. Objects in colorful living rooms may be used “to instigate and mediate contemplation about significant others and regulate the intimacy desired with guests.
A typical Western living room may contain furnishings such as a sofa, chairs, occasional tables, coffee tables, bookshelves, televisions, electric lamps, rugs, or other furniture. Depending on the climate, sitting rooms traditionally contain a fireplace, dating from when this was necessary for heating.
Japanese living room design concepts contradicted UK and New Zealand ideals in that Japanese culture believed in warming the person instead of the home.
This consisted of owning a portable hibachi for cooking rather than heating. Meanwhile, people in the UK and New Zealand used fireplaces to warm the space, not for cooking. Japanese cultural belief systems affected their design characteristics in the way that ornamentation should be minimal while incorporating natural elements.
