I think the ideal living space is one that thinks big - big windows, big telly, high ceiling. If you want the first of these, a move to Holland would be in order - the standard house windows there are massive. As for the big telly, you're now talking standard, run-of the-mill tellies being at least 42" screen. I think I'll wait til they hit a 60" standard before shelling out. I also need a TV with genuine cinema ratio. When I get one of those, there's a very good chance I may never leave the house ever again :-]
The other essential is of course a big sofa. Bigger the better,really. A big sofa can almost function as a living space in its own right - a kind of microcosm where you can spend a lot of quality chill time. But the problem I have with the BIG SOFA is that it can sometimes look a bit out of place, like it's just landed there. As with all problems though, there is a perfect solution: the corner sofa. What these do is of course fit the corner of the room, and thus blend in with it. Never trust anyone who when alone in a room with a corner sofa in it, doesn't spend at least five minutes sinking into it and going "ahhh ... I wish I had one of these"!
And amazingly, these sofas don't cost an arm and a leg. Get yourself down to your furniture retail store and give the corner sofas a try. It's a whole new chill experience.
