6 years agoA taller live plant on one side and an end table with shorter table lamp would look nice. Another option would be to place a floor lamp on one side of the sofa.

Need decorating ideas for this family room
Comments (3)You know what, I would move in, place your current furniture and live with it for a bit, then you will have a better idea. We jumped the gun on a couple of rooms in our current home which we moved into 4 years ago, and I wish I'd waited a little bit to get how we use the room, etc. That triangular area doesn't have to have anything on it...it could stand alone as just an architectural detail. We have some of those in our living room, & I've put nothing on them & it looks fine....depends on if you feel the need to decorate up there. I agree with Shannon that I'd put an additional chair, if you use one, on the side opposite the window to balance that area or if that piece housing their tv isn't staying, you could put your longer sofa along that wall, thus opening up the beautiful bay like window & put the chair on that side for reading. Where are you putting your tv...is the large piece staying? You could put your tv above the FP, maybe. If you have wood blinds, you don't really need drapes, unless you want the softness of fabric. I would leave that decision for a bit. Christopher Lowell (from hgtv, etc.) has a book on the seven layers of design & he advises window treatments, accessories, etc. as probably the last step. It is a beautiful room, BTW, and I hope you'll post as you decorate it!! Good luck!...See MoreSeating and decor ideas for far wall in basement family room
Comments (17)I am going to show a couple patterns.. but recognize we would need to add a couple pillows too for the sectional and then add art that helps pull it together... going on the brighter side here with some blue. also, recognize you can have multiple blues in the room https://www.potterybarn.com/m/products/balboa-upholstered-swivel-armchair/?pkey=cchairs-ottomans&isx=0.0 https://www.ballarddesigns.com/larkin-upholstered-swivel-glider/furniture/living-room/chairs/224074?uniqueId=224074 https://www.ballarddesigns.com/larkin-upholstered-swivel-glider/furniture/living-room/chairs/224074?uniqueId=224074...See MoreWall decor ideas for lake house family room
Comments (6)Not a Pro. You said this was a lake house. Do you use the fireplace for heat? I would move the fireplace and place a very large piece of art there. I would also hang the tv and hide all the wires and add a shelf for all the boxes and remotes. Nice and neat....See Moreasking for ideas on paint and decor for family room facelift
Comments (10)Taking out the bar to put in a desk area is a great idea. Build in plenty of storage. I would put the tv on the wall to the left of the alcove, where your sofa is currently, and then rotate your seating so you are facing the tv, and the fireplace, with room to walk behind the seating. That leaves room to put more builtin storage in the back corner near the fireplace. You could expand the storage even more by changing your french doors into your living area into a single door, changing the swing so they open into the living area, or removing them completely. That would also lighten the room. I don't mind the half wall going into your kitchen since you have a different level of flooring between the spaces and you need something there. If you put the tv over the fireplace, the room is cut off by the doorway to the living area and the new office, and the length of the room isn't fully utilized....See Morefunctionthenlook

A light and a vase combined with a pop of color would go great and just the right size for the corner to really stand out! www.dreamanddesignteam.com
