Baby, it’s cold outside. As the temperature drops in Denver and the Front Range, we are spending more time indoors. Are you getting “cabin fever”? Plan a fondue night, movie night or card night. Invite your friends over. But first. … It’s time to wake up the great room with a little punch of color, pattern, and texture. The family room is where we watch the big game, play games and gather around the fireplace. It is where conversation happens, and this is the place where you want to be comfortable and relaxed. Kick your feet up on the coffee table and set the right mood with furniture and accessories that express your family’s personality.
Here are a few tips:
FOCAL POINTS
Let the fireplace and a view of the mountains take center stage. Arrange the furniture in a way that promotes conversation and allows guests to see your beautiful view. Consider swivel chairs if you have more than one focal point. Check out our previous blog: “Tips to Decorate your Living Room – Add a Focal Point and Texture”
ADD A PIECE OF ARTWORK
Artwork is a great way to reflect your personality. A favorite piece can be a good starting point for a color scheme. Bring the outdoors in with a landscape of the mountains and fall colors.
DECORATE IN LAYERS
Position furniture and accessories at different heights….high, medium and low areas will add balance to the room. Make use of different shapes and scaled objects so the eye is encouraged to look at elements up, down and around.
COLORS
Set the atmosphere. Pick the hues based on the way you want to feel when you walk into the room….. serene, cozy, vibrant. Tip: Make a list of words that you want associated with this room, then pair those words with colors that come to mind to create the perfect setting.
