Living Room Ideas
Something different and unexpected
Bent feature.
Julie: Look how close the table is to the window seat. Maybe just for the photo, but considering how often the window seat is used you may still prefer the seat over the extra shelving.
Instrument display
Love the fabric on that couch!
The way the bottom of the built-ins blend with the wood floor.
Build sides into window seat cushion (not necessarily flared like this one).
I actually like how this window seat turns the corner.
Red leather chair
Shelves turning the corner.
No moulding at the ceiling.
Stone fireplace. I wouldn't do such a heavy mantel.
Yet another ladder.
Just another option for installing a ladder.
They were able to skip the window altogether and it looks fine.
Shelves have a library look.
Curious how that ladder works at the top. Looks kind of like it is resting "inside" the shelf.
Painted ladder.
Very deep window seat, but notice how the window seat is framed in on the sides. Pay no attention to the overly bright orange paint.
Very simple moulding at top of bookcases.
Floor to ceiling drapery. Hardware installed just below at moulding.
Painted bookcases. Very simple construction, no facing.
Shelving for oversized books at bottom.
Uniformity of shelf heights.
Windowseat configuration (okay, it's really a benchseat I guess).
Open storage on top, closed storage on bottom. Notice the beadboard backing.
Notice the ladder rail (ladder not shown).
Floor to ceiling drapes. Combined with shutters or blinds.
Seamless look with the built-ins, shelves, and window seats.
Painted cabinetry, bookcases.
Looks like someone converted their fireplace to wine storage.
Floor to ceiling.
I like the combination of the stone and the flooring. Think about this effect for the fireplace remodel.
Variety of storage options.
Gee. Another ladder.
Ooh! More towers on marble surface. Does this remind you of anything?
White storage.
Work table.
Ooh! Shiny!
Low profile storage.
Ladder.
