Help with the family room in our new house
Comments (19)The couple clients I had who did lots of shutters (their choice) never open the shutters, they only move the louvers. I didn't find the houses particularly dark if the louvers were directed to allow light in. I think removing them depends on what you need there for light control or privacy, what you need for view modulation, etc. I'll bet the previous owner installed this sort that do not fold up because they never opened them. From what I can tell the view doesn't look like it's anything interesting which may be why they chose them. That's not meant to be insulting. Most people's views are kinda ordinary if it's a yard and a fence....See MoreHelp. Seating arrangement for our family room.
Comments (1)These are some designs that I love but again don’t really know which Will work in this space or where to shop for semi affordable items that will last. Any suggestions are appreciated...See MoreFamily room makeover needed ASAP
Comments (6)I'm no pro but this room doesn't look sterile to me. Plenty of personal touches. Why do you find it impersonal? What's missing to make it cozier for you? What's bugging you about the space beyond the fireplace and couch? Just asking these questions to get you to think about the space and formulate your action plan. I peeked at your ideabooks and saw only one living room - a picture of a couch you like, I think. Perhaps you want to collect a few inspiration pictures to guide you in styling this room? You've gotten some good advice about the layout. Once you pin that down, you can move on to the furnishings. When you choose those, high performance fabrics, sturdy bases and rounded edges are things to prioritize for the "bulls in a china shop". :) Good luck! Hope you'll keep us posted with your progress. With all that natural light and a fireplace, this room surely has the makings of "favourite room in the house"....See MoreHelp me furnish our family room
Comments (3)Can you do a drawing of the room, with all doors and windows included, with the fireplace, too? Then give the size of the pool table. Does the pool table have to stay right where it is? I have difficulty seeing how to incorporate the fireplace into the sitting area with the pool table where it now sits. It might work better if the pool table is turned 90 degrees and sits in front of the window, instead. Then there can be a couch and chairs sitting in front of the fire, with the TV on the side wall....See MoreRebecca
