Get Comfortable

Give your family a space that encourages them to cuddle up and watch TV or hang out and play games. To create cozy-up style, fill the room with layers of warm textures, like a plush sofa layered with satin pillows, and patterned panels on the windows.

-- A dark-wood TV console provides striking contrast to white woodwork. Hide electronics behind the solid portion of the doors and put pretty baskets on display behind the glass.
-- Fill a family room with plenty of plush toss pillows -- they can be used for extra seating on the floor.
-- A swing-arm lamp can flood a room with light or be maneuvered to provide task lighting for reading or game play.
