I tried doing that, starting with a lounge setting, but it did not really work out for me so the lounge is out and I'm going back to garden. Most of the decorations are going in the side "garden" which is more like a hallway than a room. Hopefully it will help it feel more like a place in its own right and not just a service corridor. Plus the kitchen window looks out there so a few things to look out to will be appreciated.
I decorate my garden/outdoor areas as if they are a room.
