“Make yourself at home”

Hello Strands fans! Today's theme, “Make yourself at home” is an easy and nice one if you know what it refers to.

I was lucky enough to find SOFA in the lower right corner. Since this was obviously about furniture, I quickly found SHELF in the upper right and TABLE in the lower left.

The bottom two halves cleared a path to “LIV,” which I expanded to read LIVINGROOM to get a spangram.

After that it was smooth sailing, with FIREPLACE snaking between the spangram on the right and my two answers, and OTTOMAN in the middle on the other side. As a result, RECLINER remained in the top corner, allowing me to complete the puzzle twice as fast.
