Global Contemporary Living Room Design Project Description
I’d like to focus on the living room area of our great room. You can disregard the area with the instruments. I am looking to update the living / family room portion of the great room that is located by the kitchen. To date, that area has been the main area for all TV watching and my 9 year old sons video gaming. We are looking to move the existing furniture out of that space and into our step down living room therefore allowing us to create a space that is for adults while sequestering the children to a different area of the house.
I lean toward greys and blues for furniture + accents. I love white, but since I have a 9 and 12 year old and a puppy, I don’t think white furniture is the way to go at this point in my life. I love a punch of color as can be seen on my Pinterest boards and gravitate toward pink, blue, purple, even orange.
One of the photos shows the space staged when we bought the house in 2009. The other photos are various angles of the space that depict how the area has devolved into something a lot less “staged”!

My Living Room What do you currently dislike about the room?
The space is dark. The floors are dark wood and the natural light that I would hope would come from the sliding glass doors is masked by the overhang just outside of them. What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
I am open to all new furniture, art and accessories. Are you open to changing your wall colors?
No Are you open to changing your floor covering?

Living Room:
Using lighter colors in your medium-sized room will make it feel more airy and bright
White/off-white offers a fresh, clean, feel to the space. White and off-white colors are often a favorite for walls because they are light, neutral, and match most color schemes. They are known to make rooms feel more airy and spacious.
Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish
