Is your Living Room Inviting?

Formal Living Rooms . . .

• If you have a formal living room, it is probably not in use every day. However, this space is very important.  

• A perfect space to entertain your guests, family activities, or quiet moments.

• Consider other options. Perhaps a library, music room, or home office. Even though the term implies "formal", it's ultimate style and use is up to you.

Casual Living Rooms . . .

• A casual living room must serves dual purpose. 

• This is your one space to entertain guests, as well as your daily family activity.

• It must serve your day-to-day needs, provide comfort for your family, and be ready for guests.

Open Concept Living Spaces . . .

• Most homes today have an open concept floor plan: all main areas open to one another.

• The design of your living room, and these areas should compliment each other. 

• The color scheme, furniture styles, as well as accessories must be similar.  This makes your home more comfortable, and welcoming.

• Areas can be defined by flooring, area rugs, or just through spacing.

Family Rooms . . .

• A more casual space just relaxing, and family time! With an open concept space its usually open to kitchen and eating areas, plus it's always in use.

• For watching TV, visibility is the key. Everyone must have a good seat. And the "man of the house" needs his recliner with perfect line of sight, and immediate access to the remote.

• Create a space for reading with a cozy space to sit or curl up, and adequate lighting.

• The decor for the family room should reflect your lifestyle, activities, and how many people you would like to seat. 

Seating & Upholstery . . .

• Comfortable seating is essential in any space.  

• Fabric or leather upholstery adds dimension and texture, and increases your comfort level.
