The city's defining house type is the bay fronted terrace, and two features govern every furniture decision in it: the bay recess and the chimney breast alcoves. A room measuring four metres wide may offer a longest uninterrupted wall closer to 3.5 metres once the bay and chimney breast are deducted, which is why a two seater and a chair frequently outperforms the three seater the room appears to invite. We set out typical usable dimensions for bays, alcoves, walls and walkways with the furniture that suits each, explain why alcove asymmetry defeats matching pairs, and argue that the bay should hold light furniture that uses the daylight rather than a sofa that blocks the room's only window."}
