The placement of furniture was very important to allow everyone to to take in the view. Mirror panels were also fixed to one whole wall in order to reflect the waterfront view‐thereby creating an ever changing, living artwork. Still used a neutral base for colors with cream walls, taupe floor tiles and a large modular lounge in hard wearing chocolate cord upholstery‐this allowed us to feature the wall with a teal blue color that describes the water view.
The audio-visual equipment is contained in a low, white polyurethane cupboard suspended off the wall, and wood veneer paneling allowed us to showcase the fireplace. Scatter cushions and accessories in teal blue tie the room together, with a crystal and white chandelier as the finishing touch.
Always start with a neutral base and work up your finishes from there. Select a good quality, hard wearing lounge, especially in a room that gets used by the whole family. Choose one area to make as feature‐in this case, it was the wall backing the fireplace.
This is a phenomenal family room, as well as a big area for entertaining. The large King Furniture modular lounge is ideal for relaxing and watching the boats on the bay in the warm months, while the fireplace is wonderful to snuggle in front of during the cooler elements.
