But after we switched we seem to spend more time in the living room area
I think it also depends how long your front garden is / how busy your street is. We always have people walking past going to the local park and they're only a couple of feet away, so you feel quite "on display" in the front room. Hence it's a room we only really use at night with the pl**tn shutters closed.

We swapped ours round so the dining/table area is at the front where the big bay window is and the living room area is in the middle. The sofas, coffee table and AV stuff seem to give the middle area a stronger "room" identity than the table did.
Our original thinking was we spent all our time at the table surfing/doing hobbies not watching TV so it we should have put place we spend most time where the natural light was. But after we switched we seem to spend more time in the living room area. Turns out we are just troglodytes.
