A conversation pit or sunken sitting area can be part of your interior or outside living spaces, with the den-like spots looking equally chic in a living room or recessed into a deck.

Admittedly these areas require a larger scale of room to gain full effect, a mini pit would be in terrible danger of appearing more like a sunken bathtub, but you could obtain a similar conversational atmosphere by arranging your furniture around a central point in a room; instead of angling all seating towards a traditional fireside or television, place a freestanding or ceiling mounted fireplace, or coffee table, in the middle of the room so that everyone can gravitate around it.
