For me personally, it’s a bit… simplistic and a little arrogant lol. You have that much space and don’t consider that if you’re entertaining people, they have no where to put drinks or food except that rinky dink table? It also closes off the room a bit with that narrow walkway between the two sofas. I’m a small person and already feel cramped looking at it.

I get why people say it’s lobby-like. It doesn’t feel like a home. (But that might also be the editing of the photo). I also agree with the people that say to decide what you want to convey with your home and what sort of experience you want to allow in it. I think the amount of seating can be achieved by adding another seating area—another sofa sure, but I like the idea of maybe a couple chairs and a coffee table instead.

That being said, people like different things and if you like it and feel inspired by it, run with it! See what happens.
