Formal Living Room Remodel

last year

Removal of woodchip and vinyl underneath that. Restore original cornice to white. Rewire, sand original floor, install reclaimed burner and decorate keeping the elegance of the original build.

POLL: Informal or Formal Dining Room?
Q
Comments (4)
More important than formal or informal is making it a habit of sitting down together at a table rather than eating from your knees in front of the Television. If you have oodles of space & lots of friends a designated dining room can be a real luxury. Go to town on it, making it indulgent. If it is to be used in the evenings i would have rich deep colours, gilt framed paintings, & great ambient lighting including candles & candleabra to be reflected in a large mirror. To make sure a separate dining room works hard for its money make it libaryesque...double it up as a gorgeous retreat with books which add depth & decor to the walls. Include an armchair in a luxurious velvet fabric. When the table isn't laid leave piles of interesting books on the table. It will soon be a favourite room & even if you have small children it can be a soothing place to read stories when they are fractious, poorly or in the evenings. They will see it as a special place devoid of toys & T.V's. A special retreat for a grown up too when the children are in bed to sit with a glass of wine. Gone are the days when a formal dining room is a cold room only used on Christmas day when space elsewhere is at a premium..ridiculous! Nothing will replace the freedom of an informal kitchen diner for those families lucky enough to have room but if you are a young family & do have extra space a designated dining room is a real treat, but make sure it is used, & have fun indulging the senses. Remember, "Formal" is an unfriendly word & not how we live now. You don't want your guests worried about which fork to use. There is, however, no greater fun than occasionally layering a table with china, candles, & crystal all of which can be bought at antique malls & charity shops. Always include flowers. This can also be achieved at the kitchen table. Collect mismatching china if on a budget & beautiful cutlery. The best tables are laid to stimulate conversation & provide warmth & love as you break bread together.

Front room for me! we have three rooms opened into one large living space, this is great when you have a large family. I still say front room, but mainly to describe the location of say my book or glasses if I'm am asking somebody to fetch them for me. It makes for a quicker find :)

When we bought the house the Living Room was very dated, and also long and narrow. So decided to add a stud wall at one end to allow a utility room and toilet behind and also wanted to add a projector. Before photos are source from Estate Agents photos from when house was purchased. Before: After:

Hey looks like a lovely room. I would opt for a L shaped sofa so it frames the fireplace area and identifies that as the cosy living room space and still allows easy access to a dining table by window. Your built in bench is a good idea to make most of the space, could have 2 either side so means beach can be tucked under table when not in use. Get a beautiful oversized ottoman for costing up by fire and a small side table rather than coffee table to maximise the space and maintain the luxury feel. Hope you have fun with your plans!
