Living Room

The architecture of this family room that overlooked the wooded back yard was spectacular. This was the view from the large kitchen. There is build in shelving and cabinets in the corner to the right which houses the TV. The challenge here was the size of the room. There was no way to center the sectional on the fireplace and still enjoy the TV, so we created 2 conversation areas, one for TV viewing and at the other side of the room, a collection of 4 chairs for a more intimate area. The natural woven wood blinds and the drapery panels are custom, the sectional is from Arhaus.

Dans le cas présent l'ilot permet de caser la tv côté salon et sert d'appui au piano côté fenêtre. Cette dernière est encadrée de rangements sur-mesure pour accueillir du rangement et tout l'équipement musique/sono. En effet, si les grandes pièces ouvertes ont beaucoup d'avantages en terme d'esthétisme et de confort, il n'en reste pas moins que le manque de mur rend parfois compliqué le positionnement de la télévision. Une solution, trop peu souvent mise en œuvre en rénovation, est de placer l'écran en ilot. Certes cela impose de câbler dans le sol, mais quand cela peut être intégré aux travaux cela offre des possibilités très inintéressantes ! Photo HanaK
