Family Room Design Help
Comments (12)1. I agree with removing the mirror and candle holders! 2. I also suggest removing the console table and simply moving everything over slightly to the right. The three cushion sofa is too close to the door, and it will definitely "decongest" the space. 3. I think the drapery hardware should be replaced with one continuous rod. 4. Add some decor to the coffee table to help make the space feel polished. You probably have some decor around the rest of your home that can be gathered for this :) 5. New throw pillows can liven up your furniture as well!...See MoreFamily room design help!
Comments (17)Hi Christina- The room looks great. I have problems seeing color correctly on my laptop. can you please tell me the colors in your rug and your sectional? To me it looks like the sectional is khaki tan and the rug is cream with dark grey with teal in the flowers. Is that correct?...See MoreBlue rug, yellow walls, taupe couch family room design help
Comments (12)First thought is to move the whole seating area down toward the fireplace so the the end table is centered on the far window. My moving the seating area down, you may be able to have a sofa table behind for some lamps. I would look at plantation shutters although if I could convince you I’d go with drapes too. It will help to balance that wall out and add some softness as well as add some visual ‘pop’ if you chose a pattern. With that said, with drapes you wouldn’t need any artwork because the wall space would be taken up by the drapes. I’d remove the mirrored piece to the right by the entry as it looks like it’s floating out in space. I would also consider doing something else other than artwork. There is so much out there like wall planters, metal art, something 3-dimensional. Just an FYI, there are apps like BeCasso that will take an existing photo and turn it into a watercolor, oil paining, pop art. Then you can order it as print, canvas or whatever. I did some mediocre mock-ups so you can get a feel for what some of this would look like. I also included a pic of a house like yours so that you may want to put something in the entry. I wouldn’t two two items just one....See MoreHelp Design our family room!
Comments (2)I would put fish tank on the right side of the fireplace and the TV on the left side. It is too high over the fireplace to watch. Then I think I would put your new sofa where theirs is and get two comfy chairs to put one facing the sliding doors and one with it's back to the sliding doors....swivel so to watch TV. Art over the fireplace....take all the small things down. If you have enough room, a rectangular coffee table would be nice, I am assuming the white cabinets on either side of the fireplace stay. If not I would get a stand for the TV with storage and one with drawers under it for the fish tank. I would put a taller lamp on the end of the sofa and no lamp on the table going up the stairs....See MoreWaynette Bailey
