What would you do with this room?
6 years ago
How would you use this "flex room"? Here is the room from 3 different angles. One shows the front door of the house. The coat closet is directly in front of that. One shows the door to the garage. Directly to the right of that when looking at the picture is a set of cabinets and the stairs to the basement, and then the entrance to the kitchen. The pictures are in order as if you are just turning yourself to the right. I feel like it's hard to arrange furniture in here since there isn't a lot of wall space that isn't taken by windows and the room isn't very big. We could use an office space but it doesn't have to go here. Or some sort of organizational/mud room space could also be useful to us. I just can't imagine how I could put anything in here.

Comments (9)The first thing I would do is remove the horizontal molding and complete the verticals (just fill gaps and repaint) and it won’t feel as disjointed. You could paint it deep blue to coordinate with your room. Don’t add shelving, as it will feel too busy. Consider a floor lamp and large plant, per first picture. I’d look for a low/long console and then decide if you want to place tv on top or on wall....See MoreWhat would you do to update dining room table. Stain or paint?
Comments (37)Hello everyone. This has been a process. Thrilled with how the chairs turned out. The picture does not do it justice. New webbing, foam and Dacron wrapped seats. We will wait for next year to tackle refinishing the table. We want to use the table during the fall/winter months vs the kitchen counter. Put up a new light fixture (34" from the table) Now....I'm thinking of curtains on the entire back wall as suggested by Beth H. : ...but what color? What do you think about a colored sheer? I do like the light coming through the blinds....which we did ditch the metal blinds.. ran to Home Depot and got faux wood for now. I'll post some updated photos. As always, your comments are truly appreciated....See MoreWhat would you do with this living room?
Comments (12)probably been said, but front legs of sofa would look better on the rug. These are inspiration pics to show small sofa and chair ideas and simple window treatments. Good suggestions on having a TV wall; possibly the bookshelf can go in another useful room....dining room or childrens room for extra storage? Again, just guessing and just some ideas for making your space work.....I think you can one or two unexpected things in the room....the arc lamp shown in pics or dynamic big art that works with your rug to go over the TV or the sofa? 1. big furniture feel but doesn't take up a lot of floor space. colorful rug. 2. Pair of interesting chairs and significant art work. 3. One piece of furniture, the chair, selects all the colors for the room.....including art work. Your rug would do the same thing.....love the unexpected Arc Lamp. 4.Large art work small everything else. 5. Rug adds the drama and everything else is in same colors....See MoreRelated Professionals

- 6 years agoI like the idea of two chairs either angel towards each other with a table in between or to really open up the window view the could face each other with a table right in front of each other. I would also put some kind of storage bench/coat rack against the door to the left of the dark brown door.

Love the ideas! It might not fit a whole lot, though so I might have to skip the desk. Here's another angle. Im at the mercy of realty photos, sorry! In this one you can see the depth of the room better because you can see the half wall leading into the dining/ kitchen area in the foreground.

What about a low storage bench along the wall? Not sure how practical those are for actual seating though.
