Your family room has beautiful architectural details such as the columns and fireplace. Both the fireplace and hardwood floors are a much sought after feature in a home. The challenge of this room is the size, making furniture placement difficult as well as providing enough seating for the room.

With some new paint, art, accessories, and furniture, we've created a comfortable and stylish family room for you to enjoy in your new home.

The blue wall color gives a feeling of calm and relaxation, and is the the perfect color to use in a family room. A family room is used as a place to relax and escape the everyday chaos of life.

Functional and comfortable seating has been provided with the Bauhaus sofa. Bauhaus was a mid century design school and this sofa offers both the clean lines of mid century design combined with a traditional, tufted back for an elegant look. This sofa is small enough to provide good flow and walk space in the room. We've placed the sofa in the middle of the room and facing the TV, providing the best use of space for everyday traffic.

The Hermes arm chairs provide additional seating in the room, and the upholstery brings a modern, asian feel to the space. The upholstery coordinates well with the overall color palette of the room. We've angled the chairs toward the sofa to create a nice conversation area.

Round coffee tables and end tables are the best choice to use in a small room because they are easy to maneuver around and have an inviting feel. The glass tops provide a modern feel to the space. An alternative might be to use a similar table style with drawers in the bottom for a little extra storage space if needed.

The vases on the mantle feature the same colors that are used throughout the room. They are handmade and are a stylish addition to the room. The ceramic vases placed on the built in shelves between the columns provide also feature the blue and brown colors used in the room and are beautiful accent pieces. You might already own something similar...we really recommend using what you have if it is of the right color, scale and style.
