As a designer, I want everyone to be happy with their design, especially in a family space.
Here are issues to consider when designing your family room:
*create a focal point, fireplace, tv or media center
*cabinetry, storage for media, DVDs, gaming devices and other equipment
*comfortable seating, make sure you have seats for everyone, use fabrics that can be easily cleaned
*work/play areas, office area, have plenty of countertop space
*use ottomans, they can be moved, provide extra seating and storage
*flooring, should be easy to clean, provide color and absorb noise
*accents, use lamps, pillows, art, drapes, blinds, paint and furniture
Every family room should be a multifunctional space!
