Congratulations on your new house. So tell us how many people will be using the room daily? and how many guests do you want to accommodate? What is the main purpose of this room? TV? We will start to do a virtual 3D build so we can see the room and provide suggestions for you consideration. Blinds, change them is you can to a color that matches the brick outside. Maybe a dark brown as you suggested.

Roman Shades would work.

Thank you!

- On a daily basis, it's currently just myself.

- On average, probably will be used to accommodate 6-10 guests.

- Main purpose of the space I was thinking of a general family/entertaining room (no TV as there is a family room where I'm thinking the TV might go). The part of the room that has the black ceilign light fixture I was thinking would be the dining room, but I am open to changes as well!

Next, tell us what color and styles you like. Thanks for getting back to us.

Are you open to having space in this room for game night?

What about a beverage bar? Would you like that added into the room?

I'm looking for input on styles and colors, but in general, something inviting/warm or mid-century/ or transitional. Yes to game night! And possibly a beverage bar!

Thanks for getting back to us. That helps a lot.

Building the rendition. just updating you. creating the space helps us see the room in order to provide input regarding colors and styles. Especially with a green marble fireplace.

We have completed the rendition. We will post pictures of it soon. Thanks for your patience.

Here are the pictures of the rendition with suggestions for your consideration.

Mid Century Modern style furniture. One 5 to 6 seater couch.

Beverage Bar on the back wall.

Aerial View of the dining and living room areas. Dining room/game table in the dining room area with an expandable table to accommodate up to 8 people, with a squeeze for 10.

Aerial view of the living room and dining room/game room.

Your fireplace is such a piece of art that we framed it with curtains that are wool lined (dark wool or lining fabric in a dark brown) with a beige fabric for the face of the curtains. WHY? Because the curtains can be easily pulled open and closed. They also allow you to have a full view of the beautiful wooded area outside without blocking the view. And, again they act as a frame for your beautiful fireplace. We have wool lined curtains and they are great for keeping out the cold. Color suggestion is as shown. Giving the room a light and open feeling.

Style: Mid Century Modern dining room/game table. Suggesting an expandable table with leaf insert to accommodate 8 maybe 10 people for diner of game night. We have a round table, we add the leafs in for game night or large group diners. Works really well.

Close up of the window dressing. See below for further explanation as to why we chose curtains over shades.

Picture of the 5 to 6 seater couch.

This view shows you the sitting area and the beverage bar. Also a large landscape piece of art to balance out the window to the left.

The following renditions are being presented for your consideration and viewing pleasure.

Style is: Mid Century Modern.

Colors are: Beige, cream, black, dark brown, gold and a toss of teal.

The seating arrangement seats up to ten people in an open and easily accessible layout. Making it easy to move from one room to the next.

We hope that these renditions answer you questions and help. Congratulations on your new home. Best Wishes

In the rendition you will find the following:

1. One large 5 to 6 seater beige couch
2. Four black leather, light weight, chairs
3. Two round MCM coffee tables. We chose two because it is easier to get around and through them to and from the couch.
4. Three trio grouped side tables that can be separated to add extra place settings for beverages and snacks.
5. One large cream colored area rug. To lighten and brighten the room.
6. Two mirrors, one over the beverage bar and one between the two chairs near the bar to add and reflect natural light. They also work as mock windows.
7. One large black framed piece of art over the fireplace to tie in all of the colors in the room.
8. Some plants through out the living room and dining room to bring in the green and just for fun.

Here are some links to a couple of couches. These are only meant to be examples of what is out there.

Amazing! Thank you so much for putting this together - it is above and beyond what I was hoping for. I love what you did with tying the space in front of the fireplace together into a larger seating area - something I hadn't previously considered. I am torn between doing what you proposed (one large seating area) versus having the seating area a bit tighter/closer with the fireplace (less seating, maybe a L or C-shaped couch). The way you proposed definitely makes it a larger and more space for entertaining, whileas the latter might allow traversing "through" the space a little easier.

Also love the drapes! I think I will go with that for sure, possibly even toss in the wood blinds that TanCalGal suggested as well (I like the sconce idea too - were you thinking putting them above the fireplace or on either side of the windows?)

Mae Dae, I also like what you did for the kitchen even if I didn't include exact dimensions there! Currently the kitchen counter is L-shaped which bisects the kitchen/breakfast area on the left, but if I remove that and move the refrigerator, I would regain a lot more storage space on the wall (south side), which is something I'm definitely lacking in the kitchen currently. Also interesting we chose to use a roundtable for the dining area, and use a more formal dining area where I was previously thinking the breakfast/round table would go!

Hello Chet, we actually tried to lay the furniture out in an L shape and C shape and it made traversing the room far more difficult because furniture was in the way and you would have to walk around it to get into the seating area. And it blocked the pathway from the stairs and front door to the dining room and kitchen. We thought about it for quite some time trying to figure out, a seating arrangement that would accommodate 8 to 10 people and allow the room to be open and easy to access from all areas. we can show you what the other looked like but honestly, after a great deal of consideration for your needs this was the best that we could come up with. The tighter seating arrangement left you with a lot of open space on the back wall where the wet bar is right now. Just letting you know because we did try many seating arrangements before presenting this last one. Thank you for getting back to us. We sincerely appreciate it. Best wishes.

Also wanted to mention that the round table in the dining area was suggested as a dual purpose for both dining and gameplay that would be close to the living room area with its fireplace and wet bar. We are suggesting round table that can be expanded to seat 8 to 10 people.

Happy to help Chet. Thanks again for getting back to us. It is sincerely appreciated.

Hello Chet,

Posting the L and C shape arrangements so you can see if you prefer one of them.

Best Wishes

This is the L shape

This is the C shape

Thank you! This was very helpful in visualizing what's possible with the space! Curious, what are some thoughts around different styles besides the MCM? I was curious about something like the "lone fox" transitional style, as well as something like Japandi..?
