Help! Family Room/Entertainment Room Facelift Needed
Comments (5)that is a lot, lot of wood! It's nice, but it's just a lot. would you consider painting the window/door trim and the baseboards in white? it really would look so nice, especially w/the pine ceiling and the oak floor. here is a before/after here's a wood ceiling and floor w/white window trim so you can see another pic w/your pine ceiling next to white trim (ignore the coffered ceiling beams) If you'd like to put in a few beams, do them white: (notice white trim again!) I'd have the floors stained in a walnut shade. Oak is beautiful in that coloring and if it's red oak, it will hide the natural pink tone. this tone. If you need to put in shelving, consider something like this w/a black background. notice the white trim/baseboards. actually, if you will be doing flooring, consider removing the existing smaller wood baseboards and replacing them w/the taller white ones, like in this pic above and the one showing the wood floor, above. As for ceiling fan, since you don't need the light, pick something in a sleeker type of fan blade, less bulky than what you have.for the storage issue, I don't know what the budget is, or do you have DIY skills? plenty of built-in type of cabinets you could do. Even doing an Ikea hack w/the Billy Book cases would be an option. pine ceiling and walnut stained oak floors, white trim and baseboards. gives you an idea for your space. nice fan too or, if you had thoughts on painting the ceiling...See MoreFamily room help needed!
Comments (8)I think you have way too much furniture in the room. Remove the 2 chair and ottomans Take out the free standing bookcase. Can you do built ins next to the fireplace? I would add a coffee table (leather?) The 2 prints on either side of the firepalce should be moved and placed close to each other. Is there hardwood under the rug? if so add an area rug in front of the couch - with the silver gray sectional you can chose tons of colors - I like blues myself. Maybe add a rustic bench under the window for more seating, some wood would warm the room....See Moreneed help with family room
Comments (380)I wanted to give you more than one 'like', Sue, on the new rug/coffee table/wall color, etc. but Houzz limits us to just one. 😊 Your dilemma - and great follow-up choices including throw pillows and blankets - are exactly what Houzz is intended to support. Houzz could use this room with its 'Before' and 'After' images in its advertising (!) and it's a perfect example of online folks helping others solve design dilemmas while becoming online friends.

Comments (2)You have some great pieces in the family room! Consider replacing some sofa pillows with colored/patterned ones - perhaps use the blue from the table chairs? Are there vent pipes on top of the shelving units or are those decorative items? I would like to see a picture with the shelves removed to see how it looks with less. A larger piece of art with some color on the left wall would look really nice....See Moredenisontb
