Every home needs the ultimate area to enjoy time with family and friends. Now that you’re spending extra time at home, you may be looking to make some updates in anticipation of when you can entertain again in your home or for your children to entertain themselves once their virtual school work is complete. Although many design showrooms are closed for the time being, a lot of designers and interiors professionals are offering virtual consultations. Here are a few things to consider before starting your project…
First, think about the size of the space. If you have an open floor plan, you could create a versatile lounge space that allows for both entertaining and displaying your favorite memories and accomplishments. If your space is smaller or separated by walls, you may prefer to make it a single-use space like a game room, bar or seating area.
Next consider the use of the space. Do gatherings tend to be more conversational or full of movement? Are they more family-centered, for relaxation and unwinding or for entertaining guests? Will you need more spatial accommodations, sound proofing or durable materials and finishes? Taking these factors into consideration will help you determine how much and what type of seating, lighting, and what types of accessories will enhance the mood and function of the space.
Finally consider the overall style of your home. Are you traditional, contemporary or perhaps eclectic? From furnishings to fabrics to flooring, you’ll want to be sure you choose materials that fit in with the style of other rooms in your home.
