Many people look at the big rooms like the living room and the kitchen as the place to focus their design energies. This is not the best application, because there are several rooms that could also use your talents. One of these rooms is the family room.

When you think of stunning design, the family isn’t normally first. However, simply things like putting up the right window treatments that frame the view or obtaining the right pieces of furniture goes a long way towards making the family room shine. Perhaps the best example of these types of design elements are built-in bookshelves, they provide an excellent place for books and other memorabilia.
