Casual Family Room

This family room design brings comfortable casualness to the space that is welcoming no matter who the guest is, from empty nesters to gatherings with children and grandchildren. Cozy seating and painted cabinets provide a perfect backdrop for family life. Hiring an interior designer to make your new build into a home for the family is worth the investment.

Project Overview:

Creating a furniture layout to incorporate existing pieces that allowed flow while maximizing seating space was key to the development of this design. Bringing in a variety of new textured through new upholstered seating and an organic patterned wool rug helped maintain a comfortable casualness to the space that is welcoming no matter who the guest is. The built-ins were painted a calming green/blue to establish a connection with the adjacent kitchen.

The built-ins provide a beautiful display space and flank a stone fireplace that brings a literal and figurative warmth to the room. Motorized roller shades are programmed to close whenever glare would create a problem with the television and still allow for natural light at other times. Abstract landscape artwork provides a nod to the streamlined traditional feel present throughout this new build home.
