FAMILY VS FORMAL LIVING ROOMS WITH BRANDT DESIGN

Luxury kitchen and interior design specialists , Brandt Design , deliver a range of solutions for the living room as the UK homeowner demands an everyday family room alongside a more formal space to entertain guests in or enjoy some much needed downtime .
Julia Steadman , Commercial Director at Brandt Design explains , “ As more of us enjoy a more homecentred lifestyle , we are finding that homes with two living rooms are helping to achieve a good balance of social and private areas on the ground floor . Structured hybrid working has also increased the need for today ’ s professional to want a designated area to switch off from the home office and so making space for an exercise bike or yoga mat will do wonders for your mental health . Having two living rooms will also benefit the multigenerational household , as young adults can stream a movie while doing their homework in one as the grown-ups entertain friends or simply relax in peace !”
Created and installed by Brandt Design , these contrasting living room spaces will inspire you to rethink your home with relaxation and wellness in mind . Designed for a family home in rural Hertfordshire , the family room which is open to the main kitchen and dining area features classic Heritage Furniture by Brandt Design , with a variety of closed storage and display units . At the opposite end of the spectrum , the private living space features a more paired back aesthetic with bespoke stone fireplace lovingly handcrafted by Brandt Design at its stone fabrication centre in Stevenage .
Each room offers a distinct atmosphere that is perfectly tailored to the homeowner ’ s needs and personal taste . The use of colour was key to creating the different moods in each living space , whether delivering a sophisticated and adult-friendly décor in deep blue , or ensuring a bright and comfortable family space with more neutral colour palette . What style of living room appeals to you most ?
