Creating the perfect family room space doesn’t need to mean tearing out walls, adding new flooring, or other major changes.
Homeowners looking for a big change on a budget or without the construction mess may want to look at their furniture to see what can be changed to create a cozier look. For a comfy family room, consider the following.
Add Large, Comfy Seating
Larger seating is going to take up more space, but it does allow for lounging. To create a space that’s comfy and inviting, consider oversized furniture designed to provide maximum comfort, like an 8 foot bean bag instead of a smaller sofa.
A bean bag molds to the body, making it far more comfortable than other types of furniture, and it can be easily cleaned as needed or moved to make room for fun activities.
Add Other Seating Options
Other seating options like chairs can provide more space when there are guests at home or the family wants to spread out.
Those who don’t want the look of a lot of chairs in the room might want to add a few smaller bean bags or cushions that can be easily moved out of the space when they aren’t being used.
This helps the family room keep an open look while ensuring there is plenty of seating when needed.
Include a Coffee Table
A coffee table is perfect for snacks while watching a movie, having a game night, or just relaxing after the end of a long day.
It’s a must-have for the family room. Those who want something a little different may consider other options, like using a large trunk as a coffee table. There are other options, too, that can double as seating when needed.
Don’t Forget Side Tables
Side tables are great for holding drinks, the TV remote, books, and more. It’s a good idea to have at least one or two side tables conveniently located by the sofa or bean bag chair to make it easy to keep everything organized and out of the way.
Check out a range of options if extra storage is needed, as the end table can also double as storage space.
Consider an Entertainment Center
The TV is typically center-stage in the family room so everyone can enjoy a show together.
An entertainment center helps take the space to the next level, keeping the wiring hidden and adding storage for game consoles, DVDs, and more. For something extra cozy, what about creating an entertainment center with a fireplace?
This can create an amazing look in the room and help it feel cozier during the winter months.
Set Up a Rug
A rug helps to soften the room and can add to the overall look. Consider where the furniture will be set up to make sure the rug looks good. It’ll help create a warmer space, keeping feet warm even when it’s cold outside, and can help to protect the floors underneath.
Brightly colored rugs can add to the design of the room while more neutral colors can help blend in.
