Great Rooms: Essential Elements for a Space You’ll Love

At The Design Source, we believe that a Great Room should be a place where the family and friends come together to relax, have fun, and create lasting memories. Here are the key elements of the most beloved Great Rooms:

1. Family-Friendly: A Great Room should be a space where the family can truly live, lounge and spend time together. It is the heart of the home for everyday relaxation and fun

2. Close to the Kitchen: Keep the Great Room near the Kitchen for easy access to food and drinks, especially when entertaining. This allows the space to seamlessly flow for gatherings.

3. Comfortable for All: Choose large, comfortable, and high-quality seating that invites everyone to pile in and relax, especially on the sofa. Whether it’s a sectional or oversized sofa, the key is to create a cozy environment for everyone to enjoy. Use performance fabrics that will be durable to kids, family, and wear and tear.

4. Personal touches: They make your space your own; Consider having some of your favorite things like colors, items from travels, photos, etc. When collecting things from your travels, remember larger items are more of a focal on shelves, tables, etc. (keep in mind:4” items are tiny in a 10’ ceiling home) Try and focus on items that are 8” and larger. You can always frame a piece of art to be larger for your space.
