@wilma This is a big no for me.  Perhaps one area could be used for children or a time out scenario. I would not want to be backed up to others personally.

It's different, nothing something I would do.

I like the colors (blue/neutral) used but that's it.   Oh, also, while I'm not a fan of coffee tables, I do like the wooden one in front of the sofa.  None of the arrangements make any sense to me.  Distracting to have back-to-back conversations going on.

Also, very busy looking.

Large rooms are usually done in several conversation areas.   

The back to back couches aren't ideal to me either.

Looks like the common area of a hotel, B&B or even a sheltered accomodation home.  Much too cluttered and I agree that those sitting back-to-back could be bumping heads.

I have back to back sofas in my living room but there is a walkway between them.  I divide my livingroom into a fireplace seating area and a larger group gathering area.

I think furniture arrangement is a good way to divide areas.  However, I don't really care for the decorating style in the one pictured.

First saw that concept on I Love Lucy when they moved to their country house at the end of the series. I like it in big rooms and when a fireplace is involved.

I don't like the back to back sofas either, and I also feel there is too much furniture in the room, but it is kind of hard not seeing the whole room too.........

I realize it's a large room but I think it can be done with only one seating area and still have it somewhat intimate.  I don't think it's helping anything either because just about all the furnishings are dreadful to begin with.

I think this room would look much nicer with a large sectional and much less furniture..just way too much going on for me.
