Traditional Living Room by Toronto Interior Designer Jane Lockhart Interior Design

Whether you’re enjoying family game night or entertaining guests during a festive party, there is no better place to congregate with family and friends than the living room or family room. True to its name, the living room is the place where you and your family truly live; together you watch movies, read stories, roughhouse and maybe occasionally get some homework done.

As the hub of the home, it’s meant to be practical, comfortable and friendly, a room that’s inviting to guests and the homeowners alike. So while planning a renovation or redesign, it’s key to keep those needs in mind.

Before filling your living room or family room with an abundance of furniture, it is important to consider your storage situation. Although it might not seem glamorous, having enough storage is instrumental when it comes to keeping the room organized and practical. Built-in bookcases, shelves and cabinets are great way for storage without taking up too much space, and you can even add a media console for a custom entertainment center. Movie buffs can turn an extra living space into their own media room, complete with projector, projector screen and oversize lounge chairs.

One of the biggest dilemmas homeowners face when redesigning a living room is what to do with the fireplace. Despite often being a stunning, cozy focal point, an older, worn-down fireplace can also be an eyesore. When you finally decide to renovate, it’s important to consider the lasting power of the material you use; stone and tile are very popular and contemporary options, while brick is always a safe choice. Be sure to stick with lighter neutrals; color can look old-fashioned quickly, and darker colors may make the room feel smaller.

Finally, ensure that the room feels warm and open by letting in light and color. If your room is dark and dreary, splurge on a few windows if room allows or a skylight if windows aren’t an option. This one change will make all the difference and will cut back on energy costs because the room will require little to no lighting during the day. When it comes to color, stick to lighter or neutral colors on the wall, and go for bolder colors with accessories, such as throw pillows, curtains and artwork. That way when a color palette goes out of style, you can merely switch out the small things and keep the paint color intact.
