A place to relax

Make your family room work harder to incorporate the increasing demands of modern life. Here we show a scheme that balances the four key elements of relaxing, entertaining, dining and working, to create a well-organised space.

A place to work or entertain

Keep the dining and study zones together to create additional workspace. For cohesive look, use one accent colour.


HOW TO MAKE IT WORK…


•Use a palette of complimentary colours to unite the room, highlighting the different areas with a accent colour.


•A central round table is a sociable option and takes up less space. When entertaining, or simply enjoying a family meal, the dining table quickly transforms from work-space to eating-space.


•A sideboard sits behind the sofa helps to differentaite the areas of the room and provides essential additional storage space.


•Create fabric cover for dining chairs to add comfort and pattern to the area. These can be removed for cleaning.


•Having a wireless internet connection means that laptops can be used anywhere and obviates the need for unsightly wires; making the room safer for children and tidier, too.
