Family room needs your help to brighten up

vor 6 Jahren

Our family room is huge, we have been thinking about different ideas but end up disagreeing as to what would look good .
There is a lot of space behind the sofa that I'm not sure how to best make use of. We already have a dining room so can't put another one. We plan to buy a bigger Tv and put a big media console for the huge wall. There is plenty of sunshine in the morning, not happy with the blinds as they look dull and boring, should I use curtains instead, what colors would you use to make it homely and warm. I have two young teens, want them to spend more time here than in their rooms. What can we do with the niche space near the tv.
I have looked at several photos and ideas but need your help to put is all together.
Any suggestions or ideas please?
Thank you for all your help

Great room, wish I had too much room. You need to move the couch away from the corner and the window wall, at least 3 to 4 inches. That will also line it up with the fireplace. A large entertainment center will make that wall. Maybe a bar or library in the niche. I think a game table or farm table would be great for teenagers just to hang at.

Install glass shelves in the niche with and LED can light in the ceiling of it to light up a collection of something pretty, interesting or unusual. This is is a very awkward arrangement with the sectional jammed in the corner and into the windows. With the larger TV centered on its wall, you'll need to pull the sofa out to float centered with the TV wall and the fireplace. You might try its matching hassock/footstool pushed into that window corner with a pile of colorful pillows to match a new rug. That would make a nice reading spot or a corner lounge for the teen who wants to be on their phone or other device. Your rug is much too small for that big sofa. That's where you will get the "homely & warm" color/pattern. Once you get the furniture arranged, use painter's tape on the floor and tape out a "virtual" rug that slips under the front 1/3 of the sofa seats and extends past the ends of it by a foot or more. Keep it at least 12" from the hearth. If your measurement is not a standard size, then go up a size if you can so you don't get a skimpy one. As for empty space around the sofa, try a sofa or game table behind the short side of it. If you're not installing draperies, hang art between the windows. You can put casegoods under the art too. The art above the mantel is too large; keep it mantel art within the width of the firebox below it.

I'd suggest a neutral, rather "grown-up" style as a basis and childlike, cute little details to create a room appropriate to your daughter's age. How about a grayish or brownish wall color, like Farrow & Ball's Mouse's Back or Light Gray? Golden Polka dots could be easily applied and removed when you choose wall stickers (https://www.houzz.com/products/vinyl-wall-sticker-decal-art-polka-dots-by-urban-walls-set-of-50-prvw-vr~4971601). They add a cute yet modern and stylish touch. I love this idea! Go for white curtains in case you paint your walls. I personally love the haptic of nya nordiska's LIMA, it's made of wool (http://www.nya.com/de/product/lima). In case of white walls, go for a rather striking curtain. nya nordiska even offers a transparent material with little golden dots (http://www.nya.com/de/product/puntilla-cs)! Now that you have the basis, add colorful details to the room. A striking carpet, a floor lamp, toys... They look great in grayish surroundings but can be changed any time. Maybe that helps as a start? Kind Regards, Saskia

Choosing an Interior Designer
Q

Choosing an Interior Designer If you are thinking of working with an interior designer, be aware that the relationship is, by its very nature, intimate. Given this, you reap immeasurable benefits when you take some time upfront to consider just what it is you want from this person you're about to invite into your life. As with any relationship, clear communication can go a long way to alleviating any misunderstandings. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, questions to ask prospective designers, and some hard-won tips we've picked up along the way. Assess Your Work Style Before you pick up the phone and start calling prospects, spend a few moments thinking carefully about your preferred method of working. This little bit of soul searching will go a long way to ensuring you hire the right person, and will help to lay a solid foundation for a successful working relationship. For starters, think carefully about your answer to these questions: At what level do you want to be involved in the creative process? Do you want to be consulted on the nitty-gritty, day-to-day details, or are you more interested in big picture issues? Similarly, at what level do you want to be involved in the product research? Are you looking for comprehensive, "soup to nuts" guidance, or do you consider yourself design-savvy and only in need of assistance with color, space planning and resources? Are you a visual person or a tactile person? Will you be satisfied with a designer showing you photos of products, or do you prefer to see and feel everything before deciding whether it is right for you? Do you prefer to be shown many options or fewer? Are you open to the input of others? Are you able to make choices with confidence, or do you tend to vacillate? What are your expectations in terms of a timeline Determine the Scope of Your Project The scope of a project to some extent dictates the qualifications and experience required of the interior designer you are hiring. If you are building a new home or addition, or undertaking a major renovation to existing space, you are likely already working with an architect. This is good. Architects and designers often work in concert, balancing the aesthetics of the home's structure, or "bones," with the interior furnishings and finishes. You may want to get your architect involved in the selection of the interior designer—whether it's recommending someone he or she has already worked with, or using one of the interior designers the firm may have on staff. If you're redecorating a single room or have a limited budget for a space that does not require structural change, you may not need an interior designer at all. You may be happy hiring a specialist, such as a color consultant, who can work with your existing furnishings and help you revamp the space with new paint color and fabric selections.

Unique kitchen layout
Q
Kommentare (11)
Hi Ella, wow, that looks like a real challenge... The really low "Kniestock" together with your size doesn´t work well. I think you need to move the kitchen pretty far into the room to be able to properly move around and operate the kitchen. For instance if you imagine standing in front of the sink - if i read the floorplan correctly, if you move just a little bit to the right, you´ll bump your head into the angled wall. In addition, the whole area below the angled wall is actually not usable for a worktop area, because it´s just too low. Even if you place storage room there, it´s not really comfortable to reach. Can you add some more picture of the rest of the room? I think you need a complete layout including dining area and living room area and not only focus on the kitchen. Cheers, TH

Hi Ginger, what a lovely view into your garden! - totally agree with to get those yellow curtains out asap...well when it comes to those good old shutter straps (yeah so German!) and how to make them disappear there are mainly two solutions to go: motorist them or take them off. Hiding them with a moulding might admit another solution - but possibly not the most nice looking result I guess... Looking forward to get some extra information on your kids room project...I suggest none of the pro's at Houzz Germany Community will be miserly with a give away ;-) Cheerio & Bests JS

There are other colors besides brown. Some light area rugs, LARGE.... a sofa other than brown leather, better lighting to include lamps.Do the space for YOU. Teens will hide in their rooms, they will search the privacy out, It is the nature of the cave dwelling teen. Stopping that is like trying to stop rain. The tv used to draw them out. Less so today as they never are off their phones. That is the new "TV." Even when in front of a tv.....they are on the phone.

Food is your only recourse. And making them eat it in front of you. Otherwise, that food will go the "cave"

Here are a few ways to help brighten your family room. It looks like your entertainment wall could use some sprucing up, so you could easily try getting a new TV console in a color that might work in your space and add book shelves to the space. Also a new rug and window treatments. See our design in photo three? Then what about adding a pool table or a bar to the back part of the room since you have so much extra space?
