Many people think that a conversation pit (or otherwise known as a sunken living room) is a thing of the past, being most popular in the 50’s through to the 70’s. However, we think they’re fantastic! You can relax on your own, with a partner or friends…  read a book, enjoy a drink, have a nap or just simply gather your thoughts. The possibilities are endless!
