Projection Wall

If your family often makes a batch of popcorn and gathers in your family room for movie nights, enhance the experience with a projection television. By adding a projector to your room, you can create a dynamic movie watching experience that feels a lot like a theater. This Edmonton home renovation involves painting one wall with flat, white paint and then using a small projector to cast an image onto that wall. Instantly, your family will have the perfect screening area and a great space to enjoy quality family nights together.

Gaming Tables

For families who are competitive and love to spend some time around a board game or with a deck of cards, a gaming table is the perfect family room addition. A custom built, slender table with a few simple stools is perfect for laying out your favorite game and giving your crew plenty of space for playtime. When you are not using the table, it can be pushed against a wall with the stools tucked neatly underneath and used for displaying books or photographs.

Paint

Any Edmonton family room renovation that gives guests a glimpse of the people who live in the home is a great one. For your family, consider a custom painted mural of a map to show off all the places you have visited and lived in or a chalkboard paint wall where your children can doodle or you can write favorite quotes. As times change, wipe the chalkboard clean and start again for a unique conversation piece that guests are sure to enjoy.

Revamped Heirlooms

Another way to show guests who you really are is by displaying important family pieces that have history and meaning. Repurposing heirlooms adds a personal touch to your living room. Use a significant piece as part of your Edmonton home redecorating project by recovering it with a modern fabric or pairing whimsical pillows with a fabric that is a bit more traditional. Remember that your goal should be to make the piece fit in the room while also still keeping it true to your original heritage. With the help of an Edmonton design professional, this is often easy to do and may even be less expensive than buying new furniture.

Small Spaces

When you are dealing with a smaller family room, it is challenging to complete an attractive and functional renovation. One of the easiest ways to maximize the space in your living room is by taking advantage of every square-inch. Incorporate custom window seating into your Edmonton living room renovation to take advantage of often unused space and transform your room into a great conversation area. As a bonus, add some storage underneath the seating for games, pillows, blankets and other living room necessities.
