Please help with decorating family room (post corrected)
Comments (8)My techy brother is visiting me. He says that you could mount a screen on the wall opposite the patio doors (get a motorized one with a remote) and then mount a projector over the patio doors. The screen is only visible when you are watching something, if you paint or otherwise cover up the casing, and you can build a box to camoflage the projector. It may sound wacky, but he has a projector and screen mounted to the ceiling in his family room and you really don't notice them when they're not in use. If you don't want to go that route, could you get one of those TV lift cabinets where the TV is hidden inside and then rises up when you need it? That could go under the small window. Even if the cabinet blocked the bottom few inches of the window, it might look nicer than having the TV block the window. Other than that, it does look as if the corner where the TV is now or the wall where the mirror is are your best bets. If you floated some furniture in a L-shaped configuration, either two sofas or a sectional, you could take advantage of the views and the TV screen....See MoreNeed help decorating/furnishing family room
Comments (6)Would you have it in your budget to hire a professional to come up with optional layouts and furniture suggestions. If not, you should work with an online room planner and really consider your family's needs and a few seating/working areas. The paint color can really be the last things to consider, based on what you have selected in terms of art, drapery, couch, etc. and I would paint the trim at the same time as you are doing the walls. Look at inspiration pictures to help (not necessarily with layout but seating options, accessories, bookcases, desk/office needs, color combinations) and based on your taste for modern farmhouse, you may want to check Joanna Gaines' site for inspirations. This is a huge undertaking and will take lots of planning. In regards to your kitchen, changes really depends on your budget. http://www.hgtv.com/shows/fixer-upper/photos...See MoreI need help decorating my family room into a warm space.
Comments (40)What a great space to have for you and your family! Unfortunately, I don’t think the current blue throw pillows are doing anything beneficial. To warm up the space, it would help to actually add in some warm colors. Think fire: red, yellow, orange, or a variation thereof. Try googling images such as “gray couch peach accents”, “gray couch green accents” (green can lean warm, too.) Find an image that really resonates with the feel that you want your space to convey. This can give you a better idea of what to look for when you do go shopping. You have a fantastic neutral base to build on, so don’t be afraid to add some bold colors, pattern, or textures. I realize these images don’t lean very “Farmhouse”, but hopefully they’ll give you some ideas of just how much you can add to your space and bring it to life. Have fun!

Comments (14)The 3 seater sofa should align with the long end of the rug and form an appropriate divider from your walk way. I would then place the chair and a half at right angles to the sofa. I think it balances better to have the two matching slipper chairs opposite the large chair. Better for viewing the TV also. I would consider a long console table with two smaller chairs placed on either side. If you need to store chairs for your dining area, this would be the place to do it....See Morerachellevy1028
