2013 Home with 4 Bedrooms, Part 2

2013 Home with 4 Bedrooms, Part 2

Today in Part 2 I'm going to explain what assets and issues are in the front room of this 2013 Home:

So this is a larger sized, brand new house, with the latest and most popular materials and finishes.  We've got the grey walls, the brown floors, the brown timber ceiling beams, a dry stack rock fireplace that goes all the way to the ceiling, some arch doorways, and a built in seat/cupboards on one side of the fireplace.



The issues with the room are the many openings in and out of the room.  It is centrally located--which is very desirable with the American lifestyle right now, but that means less wall space for furniture and art and ... personality!  You'll notice that the people who staged the room used a rug to anchor a few pieces of large furniture.  This works well with such a large scale room :)

Tomorrow I'll make an easy inspiration board for furniture and art and accessories for the room.  I'll be making it unique for pretend clients.

On Tuesdays I will be looking at "Room Assets and Room Issues".  The room I am working on this week looks like this:

The room assets are the pair of Ikea Pello chairs, the sofa with the chaise and matching armchair, and the 6' tall oak bookcase:

The issues are: no focal point, the bland color scheme, the lack of space between the sofa and the armchair, the dated window treatment, and the rug.

Tomorrow I will make an inspiration board for an inexpensive update on colors and accessories, and then on Thursday I will show how to re-arrange the furniture.
