How To Style Big Rooms & Open Spaces : Part I

Focus on Function, Divide & Conquer

In the first installment of this interior styling series on “How To Style Big Rooms and Open Spaces”, lets focus on function.  Think about what you want to do in the space.  How do you want the room to function for your family? 

Once you’ve identified them you can then divide the space into zones.  For example, you might picture a conversation area in front of the fireplace for casual relaxation.  A pair of comfy chairs and a love-seat can create an intimate seating space. A second area might be designated for entertainment and be home to the television and a long couch or sectional sofa.  A third area used for casual dining or board games can be styled with a table and chairs, possibly a bench and a chest for storing games or place settings. 

The big takeaway is before you get started decorating and buying furniture, first, figure out how you’ll live in the room because function determines what kinds of areas to create.  If you can’t wait for the next blog post, check out my social media channels for inspiration.
