Our clients wanted a space where they could relax, play music and read. The room is compact and as professors, our clients enjoy to read. The challenge was to accommodate over 800 books, records and music. The space had not been touched since the 70’s with raw wood and bent shelves, the outcome of our renovation was a light, usable and comfortable space. Burnt oranges, blues, pinks and reds to bring is depth and warmth. Bespoke joinery was designed to accommodate new heating, security systems, tv and record players as well as all the books. Our clients are returning clients and are over the moon!

This is a studio in NYC, we designed the divider behind the tv to function as a wall to the "bedroom" area. The fan at the top of the divider allows air to circulate. We exposed the brick wall and placed an A/C unit into the wall to maximize the light into the apt helping it to be light and airy.

Adjacent the dining room, a large, comfortably appointed family room features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and an impressive chandelier. An exquisitely crafted custom designed entertainment center, balances the weight of the dark wall opposite and tones down the focus on the television. Twin French doors on opposite sides of the entertainment center lead to a central patio furnished with comfortable outdoor lounge furniture from Henry Hall.

The Ladies Library features Ann Sacks handglazed tiles at the fireplace, and a mid century couch that was saved from a vintage shop and re-covered. The soft curves of the sofa are reflected in the Japanese walnut table and the custom made side chairs. The window seats offer a wonderful perch to gaze out at the lake and the garden.

Rendering by domECO The project is about the modern remodeling of a traditional apartment. While different rooms keep their position and their function, corridors shift and change to increase spatial perception of the wide open space created between living room and kitchen. The core of the project is the double full height walnut wardrobes, that host different functions and allow different level of privacy between bedrooms and living room. These functional wall units contain wardrobes and a small laundry in the inner core that can be closed thanks to a full height sliding panel. The living room side hosts a 55’’ tv screen. The american kitchen faces the living room with a wide walnut kitchen top. The working area, though completely visible, keeps yet a certain grade of privacy. The bedroom area keeps a traditional set, with the exception of the main bedroom, that thanks to the bedroom position can be perceived as a wider room connected to the wardrobe and the bathroom. Plasterboard counterceilings are designed to underline design choices, focusing on the role of the full height walnut core and framing the living room open space. Il progetto prevede una rivisitazione in chiave moderna di un appartamento tradizionale. Gli ambienti principali mantengono lo stessa posizione, ma gli spazi distributivi sono modificati per aumentare la percezione spaziale del grande open space che viene creato in zona giorno. Il cuore del progetto è un doppio blocco di armadiature a doppia altezza e rivestite in noce, che ospitano diverse funzioni e permettono di chiudere gli spazi della zona letto rispetto all’ingresso e alla zona giorno. Il blocco funzionale ospita il guardaroba e gli armadi della zona letto. La zona centrale racchiude una piccola lavanderia chiudibile con un pannello scorrevole a tutta altezza e, sul lato che fronteggia la sala, la tv. La cucina con isola risulta completamente aperta e si affaccia sulla sala con un ampio top in noce. La zona di lavoro, pur aperta, mantiene un ottimo grado di privacy. La zona letto mantiene un impianto più tradizionale, ad esclusione della stanza padronale, che grazie alla posizione del letto diventa un ambiente aperto collegato al bagno, al guardaroba ma comunque chiudibile all’occorrenza. I cartongessi sono studiati per enfatizzare le scelte progettuali, esaltando l’elemento a tutta altezza e creando una cornice alla zona giorno su cui si affacciano tutti gli ambienti

Inquire About Our Design Services This homeowner loved color. In order to bring in more color, I ditched her yellow and orange walls by painting the room gray, with charcoal trim. I often tell folks in order to pump up the color, we have to bring down the backdrop, and Lori’s condo was my case in point. And then we proceeded with construction. Yep, construction. I had to figure out a way around the awkward floor plan, and where to put that TV. We decided to rebuild her fireplace to house her TV - it was great way to utilize the unused space. Marcel Page

A media wall can be more than a TV on a wall. DAGR Design listens to what the clients main objective is and designs with style and functionality in mind. Beautiful artwork can be tucked away when viewing the TV and exposed when the TV is no longer needed. Either way, the wall can stand alone as a unique feature to the room.

Living Room with Grey Walls and a Built-in Media Unit Ideas and Designs

Looking for living room ideas? Whether your living room is lacklustre, your lounge is limited in space, your sitting room is suffering from outdated decor or your front room is full of clutter, there are living room ideas and designs that will inspire you to breathe life into your living space. Discover small living room ideas to help maximise tiny spaces or layout ideas that will work with awkward shaped living rooms. Perhaps you’re struggling to decide on living room colours? Read on for help with colours, layout and design ideas, or find inspiration from the millions of living room photos on Houzz.

Living room wallpaper ideas

A good place to start when it comes to redesigning your living room is with the walls. While paint may seem the simplest choice, and easy to change, don’t discredit the design opportunities of wallpaper in living rooms. There are tons of great living room wallpaper ideas, from modern geometric patterns to traditional florals, and loads of ways to use them – you don’t have to cover the whole room or go for the ubiquitous feature wall. You could wallpaper only above the dado rail (if you have one), either side of a chimney breast, or behind a shelving unit to give your displayed items a stylish backdrop. Discover more living room wallpaper ideas or if paint is more your style, there’s plenty of living room designs to discover when it comes to paint ideas; just browse through the huge selection of living photos and search for the specific paint you’re after if you really want to narrow it down.

Small living room ideas

When it comes to our living room design, we want it to feel as welcoming and personality-filled as possible, but that can be a struggle when we’re working with a small space. But not to fear, there are small living room ideas to help you make most out of what you’re working with. A couple of small living room ideas can include: working with the height you have – installing floor-to-ceiling bookshelves or drawing the eye to the top of the walls with wallpaper; choosing space-saving or storage-incorporating (or both!) furniture, such as corner sofas with storage space under the chaise longue section; and keeping things symmetrical – a central fireplace with seating opposite, or seats facing each other, can give the illusion of a larger, more grand room. When it comes to the best decor for small living rooms, you can either choose to keep things light and airy to open up the space, or embrace the cosiness of the smaller area you have by going for warm colours and filling the room with your favourite accessories.

Living room layouts and choosing the right living room furniture

When it comes to the layout of your living room, it will depend on what pieces of furniture you have – but how do you choose what living room furniture to add, whether you’re refreshing your living room design or starting from scratch? The best place to start is with the seating – one corner sofa will usually seat three to four people, and if that’s all you think you’ll need, then you can leave it at that. Placing your sofa along the longest wall helps to make the most of the space, but think about where you want the focus of the room to be, too. If you need more seating, look at armchairs that offer comfort but don’t take up too much space – cramming a room with too many large armchairs is something to avoid. But armchairs and sofas don’t have to be your only options – go for bean bags and floor cushions for an eclectic feel, pouffes and ottomans if you’re more traditional, and smart design chairs for contemporary living room ideas. Coffee tables are always handy, but you can always add a couple of side tables if you don’t want to clutter the central space in front of seating with anything. If you centre your living room design around a fireplace or TV, then you might want storage and shelving to feature around the focus of your room. There are plenty of style options when it comes to TV units, and you can even go for bespoke living room storage units to make the most of the space if you want a sleek, built-in look. Keep reading below for more living room storage ideas. Discover a huge range of living room furniture, as well as living room accessories, to help you finish your room design.

Living room design ideas

Struggling with what living room colours to choose, or what style to go with? While a grey living room design is popular at the moment, you might not want to go with the ubiquitous colour. Although, if neutral and contemporary are the living room ideas you’re after, a grey sofa or grey walls will give you a good base to work on. If you want to stay neutral, beige is not your only other option, either. Light yellows, taupes and soft greys will work. Why not try adding simple but plush cushions to your sofa and a rug in these colours to achieve a modern-traditional look? For contemporary living room ideas, dark blues and greens are on trend, but if you don’t want to dive straight into the dark wall trend, you could opt for a couple of pieces of furniture, or go for dark-hued living room accessories instead. Whites, woods and pastels could work well for Scandinavian living room designs. If an eclectic living room is what you’re after, you could go for large print wallpaper, a statement lighting piece, vibrant rug and lots of colourful book or ornament displays. For a country feel, rustic carpet, stone hearths, comfy armchairs and traditional patterns in creams, greens and browns will give you that cosy cottage feel.

Living room storage ideas

It’s natural that our living rooms tend to attract lots of items and belongings seeing as they act as multipurpose living spaces. Whether you love to read a book; watch a film; let your children play with their toys; practise a craft like knitting or drawing; play a musical instrument or play video games in your sitting room, there will always be a need for a few extra living room ideas that can help you with storage. Apart from the standard bookcases, side tables and TV units, there are a few other handy living room storage ideas you can invest in. As mentioned before, if you have the room and budget for it, a built-in storage unit could be the way forward. With a well-built unit you could hide your TV, DVDs, players, books, video consoles and all sorts away in one place. If you don’t quite have a large enough area for one, you could look at shelving – either side of the chimney breast is a great place to install shelving if you have one in your living room. And don’t forget living room furniture such as sofas, benches and ottomans that lift up to reveal hidden storage; providing seating and storing space at the same time. With the right storage solutions your living room design could open up and feel so much more spacious and stylish. Discover more living room storage ideas by browsing these photos. Once you have your living room storage, colours, design, layout and furniture sorted, all that’s left is to browse the millions of living room ideas on Houzz and save your favourites to an ideabook.
