Strands #231
“Make yourself at home”

Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today, once you establish what the theme - "Make yourself at home" - refers to.
I was fortunate to find SOFA in the bottom-right corner, which left little room for ambiguity. This was clearly about furnishings, so I quickly found SHELF in the top right, and TABLE in the bottom left.
The two in the bottom half cleared a path to "LIV" which I expanded to read LIVINGROOM to get the spangram.
After that, it was plain sailing. FIREPLACE was snaking between the spangram and two of my answers on the right side, while OTTOMAN was in the middle on the opposite side. That left RECLINER in the top corner to complete the puzzle in double-quick time.
