Living Room Design Ideas

I can not even believe it!! The family area expansion/renovation is DONE. BENEFITS, I functioned my butt off on this area!

That wall was the one between the family members area as well as my workplace, the one with the corner fireplace as well as the wall surface to the:

Our original development plans were simply to vacate from that window wall as well as make the back component of your home even more of a sun parlor to prolong the living room. We were never going to touch that workplace wall surface because I.really.Turns out I don’t also miss out on, not at all. It was a GORGEOUS room yet no one ever saw it anyway!

When my mind began working and also the idea that taking down this wall surface might function, I sent this actual life fired from my phone to two real estate professional buddies to see what they believed. This actually shows you a better angle:.

The location to the left is our walk way from the mud space as well as garage and is where we had the TV. We reconfigured the room like this years back and it did help– however I didn’t like the edge fire place and didn’t such as that the room had various focal factors.

Due to the fact that I look at that image and we had a much larger area when it was like that, it’s funny. Currently, it’s SO MUCH BETTER since the household room is larger and also the kitchen increased in size.

The area is long and slim– we really did not get any kind of extra size to the area at all. Actually it’s skinnier currently due to the fact that everything is located in the direction of the rear of your house. However we definitely positively love it.:

From the day we took down the wall we both claimed– it was expected to be such as this from the begin. Really every change we have actually made in this entire excellent space (moving the cooking area table, switching out the doors, all of it) we’ve stated the same every time. It needs to have resembled this all along.

Taking down that wall surface brought in an outrageous amount of all-natural light– we gained two home windows from the workplace. We additionally added 6 new above lights to the space:.

The centerpiece of the area is now the grand fire place and also built ins:.

We needed to built it into the space to suit the dimension of the gas insert– we managed that by constructing out the entire thing and also including storage for electronics and also all sort of various other things.

I went gray and also significant with the entire point and I love it:.

I am debating relocating the carpet down so it’s fixated the fire place. I like exactly how the sectional sits on it currently though– if I move it the sectional will certainly rest half on as well as fifty percent off.

To get a concept of how this improvement opened up the room– the old wall surface went right down the center of the new fire place. After that windows due to the fact that of the angle of the old fireplace we had concerning two feet. There was no place else to place furniture but right in front of that dual home window.

I can’t think that our living room utilized to go that far into the cooking area! It actually went almost to the ideal side of that \u00e9tag\u00e8re:.

(As well as those drapes will certainly be changed with some that match the various other side of the space quickly. These are up for personal privacy now.).

They are in this area way even more than previously. We like that there’s one focal point in the room. I used to hate Televisions over fireplaces yet I’m actually falling in love with the look (and I.reallyTrulydisliked it!). There’s no competition for your attention, it’s clean and makes the space feel even larger. Our sight in below is SO much better.

I love LOVE to muffle this sofa throughout the day:.

Everything is oriented to the exterior. Prior to our view from the sofa was the front door and also the TELEVISION. Currently’s all the light and also the trees as well as our appealing deck and patio area. I absolutely LOVE that. It’s completely altered just how this area feels.

We have more seating in the room now as well– the chair to the right is. my brand-new workplace.. It’s an extremely relaxing area! The. recently repainted cabinet. and also the integrated in to the left of the TELEVISION hold my workplace materials:.

We get so much light in right here currently it’s tough to get great shots! The natural light is why I recognized the space can take the darker pieces.

I have a great deal of preferred areas in this space and also this is among them. That spool chair was the only furnishings acquisition for this room as well as I LOVE it:.

I sought months for the perfect chair and also located it a few weeks ago at HomeGoods. It is spectacular.:-RRB-.

See? Amazing. As well as exceptionally comfy too!

I relocated what utilized to be utilized as a sofa table to the wall surface where the TV was prior to:.

Given that the sectional is drifting in the middle of the room the dresser I had on this wall really felt unfathomable. This table is excellent because it’s good and also skinny.

The big mirror was a happy crash– I leaned it up there to see exactly how it felt and it makes the room feel also brighter– when I have actually taken it down to repaint behind it there’s a recognizable difference in the area:.

I thought this pathway would feel tight but it’s in fact perfect:.

Before the walkway was right before the TELEVISION and once again– this simply feels ideal. I informed you we maintain saying that! It’s how it always should have been.:-RRB-.

This is my view as I create and also rest:.

When the kitchen area restoration starts … following year … a lengthy time from now … create Mom needs a break.:-RRB-, that sight will certainly look also much better.

I still desire to share even more information as well as photos of the room, some before and afters and all of the sources too– I will certainly share those very, extremely quickly!
