Looking for opinions on some layout ideas for new apartment Hi, I’m soon moving into my new apartment, and I’ve been playing around in Sketchup with some potential layout ideas for the living room (Scandinavian style). The furniture are a combinations of stuff I have, and some I will buy. The three ideas are rather similar, but I can’t decide on which I like best. I’d love to hear some opinions as well a…
