House Beautiful

So you want to redo your old fashioned living room into something more modern, more stylish, more comfortable.  Before you move forward you must decide first:  ‘What do I want to use the room for?’

Is this a room where you want to lounge and watch TV and movies?  Do you want the space to be able to entertain guests?

Would you need a space made for the kids to do homework at a table?  How about a place for you to sit and relax with coffee(or wine) and a book?

If you take the time to answer these questions first, you will have a good direction of where you are headed.  What are your priority’s for the room?  You must decide what the room will function as and then plan accordingly.  That is a great first step in planning your redesign instead of jumping in with both feet and not knowing where to even begin the process.  Don’t you agree? Small arrangements, including the placement of rugs, can help you carve out space for activities in your room which we will go into further detail next time.   Comments?
