Can you please help with this room concept? Personal library/game room
Comments (6)Your last image (inspiration?) didn't post, but I think I know what you're going for and I approve. A question: are you using furniture you have or purchasing new for this? A classic round game table might be better if you aren't repurposing an existing table. Or an expandable 5' round dining table so you CAN make it bigger if needed. Having to fit existing furniture in is of course a different job than picking out new stuff!...See MoreHow can I optimize my son’s room
Comments (16)Well, I'll be the odd-person and say that if I were you, I'd get rid of the shelf-thing. I'd try to make a memorabilia wall maybe, or get that stuff either on the wall decoratively, or in the closet, mounted attractively or organized. The blue is moody, and "cool" as in, a great color for a teen (if he likes it). Some bright art on the wall, or art with a lot of white in the background, and a lighter rug, will add some brightness to the room. I don't mind the sofa at all in there. He sleeps (and I like the queen), he studies (at an attractive and functional desk), and if anyone comes in (group projects, sleepovers), the couch is really nice. Plus he can drop his backpack there. I like it. It's the shelf unit that's not a "functional" object, imo....See Moreliving room,,,, please help the idea to beautify my living room again
Comments (1)What are you willing/able to do? What, specifically, are you unhappy with? Are you considering replacing the furniture? Paint the walls? Without more information it's difficult for me to make suggestions. However, I'd strongly suggest moving that chair away from the draperies/window. And also change the paint color. Is the room as small as it looks in these pictures? If so, that furniture, in my opinion, is far too large. When you say "Beautify my living room again" (again being the word I'm referring to), what did it look like before when you considered it beautiful? I think you've got a lot to work with. It would also probably be a good idea for you to post this also in the Home Decorating Forum....See MorePlease Help me make dumping room into Tv room.
Comments (6)I lived in a split level once with a similar space -- narrow and with doors leading to basement, garage, and outside, as well as steps leading up. We ended up with a very small TV area at one end and a desk/office area at the other. It worked. We even managed to fit in a small coat closet. Ptreckel is right.....I missed that what I thought was a shelf was actually the wall. So, that has to stay. But I suspect you have the TV at the right end of the room, as that appears to be the area with the fewest doors. After I commented earlier, I thought back to our split level and realized that there is only so much you can cram into that size of space. As mentioned above, how many do you need to seat? I suspect a very small sectional is all you can manage. Are they all teens? Could some great colorful floor cushions serve as overflow seating? Do you really need the pub table? Would you prefer to figure out a way to maximize storage, perhaps with an armoire sort of piece for some of the equipment, or just hooks on the wall and a storage bench beneath....See Moreeverdebz
