My living room consists of my desk, TV and a small sofa. The desk is positioned in the middle of the room, so I can see the TV. It's a terrible setup for entertaining guests but it's nirvana for working from home. I'd hate to be cramped up in a small office or next to my bed. Being able to watch TV while I work allows me to be able to work for 12+ hours with no problem. And I really like the extra space.
