Cohousing-L Mailing List: multi-purpose room advice

[Carol Agate (carolagate]

We are in the process of turning a large space (about 22 x 16 feet) into a 
multi-purpose room. It isn't connected to the kitchen, and isn't even in the 
common house. We are wrestling with how it can be furnished to serve as a place 
to view movies, hear speakers, have yoga classes, hold meetings, and still be a 
comfortable living room. Many people are saying they don't want it to look 
institutional. Yet if we have comfy living room sofas and chairs will we be 
limiting its potential use for large meetings and movie watching? Does anyone 
have a room like this? What do you use it for and what did you do to make it 
flexible? Will you send me photos?

Thanks,
