Open Concept Space: Making It Work for the Whole Family

A large, open concept space was the entire reason the house was built.  Previously, the client had a more traditional, saltbox colonial with a series of smaller rooms.  When dreaming of the new house, they wanted an expansive family-gathering space where they could be together and purposefully use every inch of the room.  

This layout implements two generous sectionals, a roomy club chair,  and a unique occasional chair to define the seating grouping near the fireplace.  The area rug unites all the lounge seating.  

The third layout positions a sofa and a sectional for ultimate lounging flexibility near this new fireplace.  With a swivel chair near the fireplace, you can pivot between seating grouping and fireplace.  A unique occasional chair adds texture and interest.  Many flexible ottomans and occasional tables give ultimate flexibility for all the needed functions in this gorgeous space.
