A conversation pit is a sunken space in the center of some rooms or even outdoors. It’s usually designed as a rectangle or a square but sometimes also as a circle. A conversation pit usually includes a sofa that lines up all or three of its sides, and may feature a suspended fireplace or an open fire pit plus some coffee tables. Poufs, pillows are welcome if you have enough space. As for the style, mid-century modern is the most popular idea as these pits come from those times but you may also go for a contemporary, minimalist, boho or any other space you like.
