Help with basement family room design...
Comments (10)Appreciate the responses, this site is always so helpful in generating ideas. cabinbuilder -- a corner fireplace would be nice, but I don't think it will work here.

Comments (32)Kristy - I think the new flooring you picked looks good. What do you think of the four club chair pic just posted below? Honestly, those set ups remind me of institutional settinfs like an airport lounge or a chain hotel lobby. I dont think they look all that inviting. I’d prefer two chairs and some other kind of seating....See Moredlfrun66
