Comments (86)I really like the suggestion Modern feature walls. Combined with some greenery inside and out as suggested by chookchook2 , you can start to soften the 'boxy' look of the space which is now reinforced by the line shape and form of the couch you introduced in the updated image. If it is a breakout or meeting room could I suggest, budget permitting, some form of window treatment. Some simple and relatively cheap e-screens would add a degree of privacy, but more importantly remove potentially annoying distractions from outside; important if you are using the room both for work that requires concentration' .. or alternatively, impromptu meetings with others that may be held in the room. I do like the green, but the photo projects a rather drab uninteresting interior despite your efforts thus far.(imho). I think making a call to Modern feature walls should be on your call list. Something has to be done with that ceiling which I find not only distracting but is actively working against your attempts at creating a really inviting space that people will want to break into. I can a hint of a table off to the right in front of the window. The best breakout spaces I've used have the facility to informally and casually sit across a table with sufficient desk or table space to spread drawings, images and presentation ideas. .. It just doesn't work as well if you and a colleague(s) are forced to sit or stand along one side of a table with the yard providing tempting distractions when the focus should be on communication and collaboration. Mounting the TV and raising it would open the room up further and likely break up the 'box-iness' further. .. A bit beyond my field (Window Treatments) ... but you did ask. lol....See MoreNeed help furnishing rooms
Comments (18)Hi Ann, yes it is the family room that we are considering as a dining space. Previously the kitchen had a peninsula and there were no bifolds so the room was split and we had a small kitchen and a small dining area. When we installed the new kitchen and bifold doors the intention was a kitchen / dinner but now I’m thinking I’d like a bench on the wall between the kitchen and family rooms with bar stools to sit at for breakfast and homework. I love your idea of ghost chairs - I hadn’t considered this. A bit like this:...See MorePlease help furnish this floorplan
Comments (7)I was thinking the dining table in the front next might make it a bit cramped. And that section is carpet whereas the section near the kitchen is tile. I thought best leave the dining there incase of any spills? Thank you for the pool table idea too. I think my partner might like the library idea that Macyjean suggested better but I just might be able to convince her a bit haha...See MoreTraditional Meets Contemporary Charm - Before & After
Comments (7)Thank you! Finding furniture to complement the wooden elements was a very important part of ensuring that the stairs worked back well within the room....See MoreRonke Odepii
