Can anyone tell me what the actual difference is between a "living" room and a "family" room? Also is a "lounge" room just another name for either one of the above? Thanks

Top up Staging is where we can utilise some of our client's existing furniture and add contemporary pieces to modernise the overall presentation and give the wow factor to the property. The below before and after pictures show the same two adjoining rooms with the client's own furniture being rearranged and adding our accessories and other pieces of furniture to create spaces with better flow and purpose. The before photos show the opening between the two rooms being blocked by a couch. We have moved the couch to the adjoining room and added two lounge chairs that allow flow between the two rooms. We also utilised the clients' floor rugs but swapped them between rooms to better suit the furniture and accessories. The items we have added have given the rooms a purpose and have tied in nicely with the owners existing pieces to create warm and welcoming spaces. Before: After:

To be blunt -- the room isn't really big enough ! So you have to sort out priorities , and space . You have a dining table , and a computer desk . Can you get rid of the computer desk , by having your computer tower mounted behind the couch or similar , and a wireless keyboard and mouse that you can use on the dining table ? Mount the monitor on a wall , or if you don't need in depth graphics , I understand you can use your TV ( I've heard something about the 'refresh rate' is less on a TV ? ) . Maybe even have a monitor but also the option of using your TV ? Could you use a 'breakfast bar' , probably where the computer desk is now , I know its not sociable all staring at a wall , but it would/could serve as a brakfast bar and computer workstation . Could you get rid of the dining table and chairs , and have a large coffee table , or 2 smaller ones , and eat 'casually' ( my polite way of saying eat sitting on the couch ) ? Even mounting the TV on the wall will let you get rid of the cabinet , but I gather you have gaming consoles in there ? And the present arrangement with the pot plants uses some space -- maybe some shelves with them on will still retain the plants but free up floor space ? Just some thoughts off the top of my head .

Your home your choice ! You are to be happy and not others . My daughter does not share the same taste with me and vice versa but we accept the difference.
