Study layout of the room and identify the angle and relationship of the room’s main entrance and sliding glass door. Don’t arrange furniture such that it faces completely away from the main entrance.
Place the main seating of the living room either facing or sideways to sliding glass doors, and in case the main entrance is on the opposite wall, sliders position the seating to face one of the other two walls. The main entrance is on the wall adjacent to the sliding glass door, face the main seating towards sliders with its side toward the main entrance.
Position the secondary seating such as it faces the main entrance of the room. If sliders are opposite to the main entrance wall, this will mean placing seating in front of sliders and then selecting small pieces such as armchairs.

Place the television or the entertainment-related equipment on the remaining wall. This will place entertainment equipment because of the seating area, but it will not be the room’s focal point. A bookshelf can also be effective to fill space.
You will get light from the sliding door so place art pieces and decorative items on the wall opposite to doors.
