Q: To make a large living room more livable and less intimidating, create two or more distinct sections. Backless or low-backed sofas, especially L-shaped ones, are excellent for dividing a room without blocking line of sight or creating odd, tall distractions in the center of the space. Dividing a large rectangular space into two squares often improves its appearance, as square spaces are almost always more appealing to the eye. You can use one or more sections for other purposes as though they weren't part of your living room, although the overall color scheme should match. An extra large ottoman is better than a coffee table for making a large space between couches or chairs feel cozy. A small couch will feel out of place in a large room, so replace a larger one or buy a second matching one and angle them slightly toward each other to form one side of your furniture arrangement. If all your paintings or wall hangings are small, place them in groups to make a large, pleasing arrangement that fills visual space. Tapestries tend to be larger and cheaper than paintings. An indoor potted plant you're willing to care for can add color and visual interest where there used to be empty space. Decorative figurines, sculptures, or ceramics draw attention to a smaller scale. Don't clutter the table so much it becomes unusable, however; one to four pieces on each one is sufficient. If you're interested in a complete redesign, using rich colors, wainscoting, or multiple colors to make the space less bare. Drawing attention to the walls makes your guests feel encompassed by the space in an intimate environment.
A: Use large, low furnishings to divide the room. If your room is too small to divide comfortably, fill space with oversize furniture. Use large wall art or multiple smaller pieces. Add tall house plants to fill corners and bare areas. Place accessories on tables. Paint or decorate the walls and ceiling.

Q: If your boyfriend is making you jealous and isn't paying attention to you, talk to him about it. Don't accuse him of anything, but try to have a mature conversation about how it makes you feel in the relationship. Catch him at a time when he seems calm or relaxed -- you don't want to bring up a difficult subject when he's already had a hard day. Relationships are partnerships, and they involve compromise and sometimes sacrificing things for one another. If you feel you give and give and your boyfriend doesn't treat you well, it may be time to consider ending the relationship. If you feel your guy is being a little hands-off or distant then tell him that you don't feel cared for very well. Encourage him to be more affectionate and passionate when you're together, instead of trying to bring it out of him with manipulation. If you think he might be bored in the relationship, get more creative with your activities. Do things that he really enjoys and keep the relationship at a steady pace. It could be good to ask him if he's bored with you in particular or just with how the relationship is going. That will help give you a lot more insight on how to spice up things. If you feel the need to act a certain way to make your boyfriend jealous, it's a bad sign. It means you're not communicating openly and your relationship is in bad shape. Even if you're successful in making your boyfriend jealous, you run the risk of your boyfriend ending the relationship instead of becoming more passionate. If you want him to pay attention to you, tell him you need him to be more committed and you can't last in a relationship that's only one-sided. If your boyfriend doesn't pay attention to you, it's likely he's lost attraction to you or has become complacent in the relationship. Evaluate the relationship and the type of guy he is to figure out if it's worth working things out or if it would be better to break it off.
A:
Remember communication is key. Explain to your boyfriend that you feel neglected. Stop trying to manipulate each other. End your relationship if it's going poorly.
