Lastly, we tackled the family room. Simple components, envisaged for the family’s specific uses, and elegantly designed, resulted in a spectacular space; and though it’s large, it’s still warm and inviting. A custom wall unit was built, which included storage, TV surround and a fireplace in one fabulous feature, then finished in a soft grey tone. It houses two vital components of family life: the television and the fireplace. This area is truly the heart, and literally, the hearth, of this family! By considering beauty and surroundings, in collaboration with needs, we made modifications throughout the home. Our design solutions give the family and their friends the opportunity to enjoy the home to its fullest.
