Room Design Photos
Known as parlors in the
19th century, in the 20th century this space was renamed the "living
room" where one can entertain guests, watch television, read, and practice
the art of living. The living room is sometimes a rarely used room, without a
television or other media, where visitors are formally entertained. Either way,
living rooms provide a design set piece for you to display your signature look
from a stylish combination of living room furniture.

Dining

Many of us remember the
dining room from our childhood as the separate, formal room that housed the
most expensive pieces of furniture and was only used on a handful of special
occasions and holidays. These formal rooms are still found in today's homes but
you can also find multi-purpose rooms, informal dining rooms and even outdoor
dining rooms on the patio. The dining room by nature is a simple space. The
focus of any dining room is its table, while the chair choice creates the
overall personality of the room. Simply add an overhead light fixture and
somewhere to store linens, dishes, serving pieces, and cutlery.
Kitchen

Sometimes referred to as
the heart of the home, the kitchen is a place to prepare and cook food and,
depending on the size, can be used to eat and entertain guests. In Ancient
Greek homes, this room was a central open air patio but it was not until around
1800 that the stove, which enclosed fire completely, made cooking indoors
possible. As technology advances, so do kitchens' design and efficiency. The
introduction of the kitchen island has lent more flexibility to the positioning
of the kitchen cabinets and kitchen sink, and helped make open plan kitchens
and dining rooms a reality.
Bedroom

Our private sanctuaries
where we retreat to every night and escape the stresses of the outside world.
Throughout our lives, our bedrooms are intimate and personal spaces where we
first learned to sleep alone, where we first learned to not sleep alone, where
we wrote our deepest thoughts and hid them under the mattress, where it was ok
to talk to ourselves out loud and where we all probably made our first design
decisions. Beyond bed skirts and bolsters, see how great design decisions turn
into great design ideas.
Bath

Although it is often one
of the smallest rooms in the house, a bathroom that’s top of the line is one of
the most worthwhile investments, especially when you’re looking to sell. Even
though the renovation might not come cheap, it will pay off in the long run by
increasing the overall value and quality of your home.
When you’re ready to start a renovation, it is important to consider popular trends as well as your own family’s needs. If space isn’t an issue, double sinks, walk-in showers and a separate bathtub are luxuries many homeowners and buyers look for. Since bathroom space is always needed, include an oversize vanity, bathroom cabinet or medicine cabinet, and jump on the environmentally friendly bandwagon by including an energy-efficient shower and toilet. If you have the budget, space and desire, turn the bathroom into every woman’s dream by adding a relaxing soaking tub with jets and a built-in makeup vanity, complete with a bench and makeup mirror.

Even though outdoor
space is often overlooked, exterior renovations and redesigns frequently pack
the biggest punch. Your outdoor space is your first chance to make an
impression on neighbors and guests, so sprucing up the landscape or adding a
porch or patio can give your blah house a much-needed boost. Because such
dramatic changes can cost a pretty penny, it’s important to carefully consider
your options before delving in.
When making changes to your front yard or backyard, be sure to consider what makes sense for your home and your location’s weather. If you live in a state that is warm only four months out of the year, an outdoor pool might not be a worthy investment (though an indoor one might be an option). For those in dry desert climates, you might want to avoid water-thirsty grass and opt for succulents, which require very little water yet still add beauty to your yard. And before splurging on a new wood porch, consider ipe wood decking, which will suffer less damage if you often have snow-packed winters. Although your location shouldn’t dictate your taste, it should be taken into consideration to avoid any unnecessary maintenance.
