A Reinvented Family Room

I had the opportunity to reinvent a family room. The room had nice furnishings, soothing aqua colored walls, and an abundance of natural light. In order to balance the weight of the room and provide the homeowner with more storage I added two matching bookcases that were upstairs in a bedroom. I placed them right next to each other to create the feeling of built in bookcases. I shopped in several rooms for items to display on the shelves and I found items from India and Africa; things collected from the family's travels.

The homeowner was also wanting to use the space for entertaining friends and extended family, so I rearranged the furniture to create a cozy L shape...perfect for intimate conversations. I streamlined the mantle by clearing it and hanging a collection of pillow covers from India. The colors are beautiful and the theme tied in nicely with the items on the shelves.

The room is well balanced, the fireplace is the focal point and the accessories are displayed as reminders from family travels! The best part is that only two pillows for the sofa were purchased! Everything else was found in the home!
