When you can combine style and comfort, then you have a great family room. This image from our area rug gallery is a good example of a comfortable and stylish family room. Let’s examine what makes this room so inviting.

  • The earth tones are the first thing that comes to mind when looking at what makes the room so inviting. They all compliment each other so well.
  • The warm, rich color of the hardwood sets the stage for a warm and comfortable room.
  • Rather than an area rug that fits just in front of the sofa and under the coffee table trunk, the rug is larger to create and extended seating area.
  • The fabric and greenery help make the room look more complete.
  • The large opening into the dining room and kitchen make this room feel like a part of the rest of the house rather than separated off from everyone else.
  • The addition of a small upholstered chair and possibly an ottoman would give more room for additional family or guests to enjoy this room as well as add to the comfort.

Imagine a fire in the fireplace and a warm blanket on that nice big sofa…….all you need is a cup of hot cocoa and you’re all set!

What do you like or dislike about this family room? What would you add or change?
