Real Life Designs
Creating a space that is multi-functional as well as interesting can be
easily achieved by dividing the space into several smaller vignettes.
The living or family rooms are usually the rooms where maximum usage is
most desirable. With an abundance of larger homes on the market,
creating a space that feels warm and inviting can pose a challenge. As
in the case of many urban dwellers space can be a costly luxury. Both
of these dilemmas can be easily resolved by utilizing the space to
create smaller rooms within a room.
Furniture placement
If
you have more furniture than you know what to do with, the good news is
that your furnishings become more purposeful when used in a specific
location. This can also elevate visual clutter which is often the result
when pieces are loosely placed in a room. Create a place for
conversation or entertaining. A place where you would entertain or
family gatherings would take place. By arranging the seating in a way
that induce conversation you are also eliminating the need to shout.
When your guest are at the edge of their seat and it’s not because
someone’s telling a great story, its time to tighten up the seating
arrangement.
Use other areas of the
room for smaller vignettes:
1) A
nice comfy chair next to an occasional table with a reading lamp makes a
nice place to read a book or have a cup of tea.
2) A
writing desk and chair for letter writing or paying bills.
3)
An accent table flanked by two chairs for more intimate conversations.
4)
Chaise lounges are ideal for an afternoon napping.
5)
For entertainment game tables are always a great addition.
