FoldingDoorsInterior org Presents Tips for Arranging
Your Living Room
A den is not hard to describe. It's cozy, includes multifunctional furniture, and is commonly the most widely used place in your home. Even so, you will need more than a large TV to create an ambiance that everyone can really enjoy.
The family space add-on in Joshua and Grezelda Smith's home in New York is a great illustration. Working with famous architect Chuck Peabody (who formed the main team of folding doors) and interior designer Janey Jimplin, the Smiths integrated specific components so the new area lives up to their demands. So now they have a multifunctional area that has a traditional charm. Join us, and discover how Chuck and Janey mixed several essential components to produce the Smiths' most loved area.
Phase 1: Area Association
Chuck's layout for the new addition joins the main family room from one side and the yard from the other. "We should be able to get to the yard quickly," states Peabody. The switch from new to old is effortless and easy. "Acquaintances who visit have no idea this space was a renovated addition."
Phase 2: Comfort and Longevity With Taste
Janey and her coworker Elizabeth Surfroot created a dual purpose seating area. The footstool works as a coffee table but has the coziness of a chair. There is plenty of room for the teenagers to chill out on the floor when gaming or watching tv. A simple wool carpet conceals dirt and resists wear and tear. Upholstered recliners serve the same role -- good looking durability. If the white chenille gets wrecked, it can very likely be repaired. The timelessness of the furnishings justifies the outlay on well-built, top quality objects.
Phase 3: Multipurpose Storage Space
Janey and Chuck made sure the Smiths had specified spots for their electronics. Practical builtin cabinets also increase architectural allure. The television and Blu-ray player are stored on either side, while the other cabinet is for video games.
Phase 4: Light and Color Options
Sunlight plays a strong role throughout this area because of the various windows. Orange walls and matching materials fill the room with warmth. Simple halogen lights in the ceiling, as well as lamps in three corners, create subdued task lighting.
