Nashville decorator on Family rooms. How to make them versatile.
*S**T**Y**L**E, they can be used for watching a movie, entertaining
guests, doing homework, listening to music or quietly reading a

When designing a family room it is important to capture
your *S**T**Y**L**E, so the room lives and breathes the way you do.
For example, if the room will only be used for entertaining and music
then there is no reason to spend thousands of dollars on an
entertainment unit that holds a TV. You will put yourself at ease by
following your design diarie's and tailoring the furnishings
accordingly.*
Once you have determined HOW the room will be used, select fabrics
that function appropriately for it's use. Obviously if kids will be
involved the fabrics need to be prepared for combat. Different
fabrics express different levels of formality and they need to sync
well with the rooms purpose.
Always dress your windows with draperies. Draperies play a major role
in building your *S**T**Y**L**E, and they too can determine the
formality of the room. Windows without draperies look naked, and the
room will look unfinished. BUT make sure they are the correct SCALE,
don't throw some Bed, Bath and Beyond draperies up for the sake of
having your windows dressed. As a rule of thumb remember, GO BIG or
GO HOME.*
Tell a story with your furniture. Don't select the entire suite from
the furniture store. Choose pieces that speak to you and your
personality. Stick to your diary, and choose items that read closely
to your rooms function without sacrificing the end goals. This will
give you your *S**T**Y**L**E!*
Lastly, design with flexibility in mind. Always have lightweight
options, like stools, that can be easily moved around. Or leave
open space so that chairs or other seating from other rooms can be
added. Small tables are lightweight and can easily be moved for
different settings.
