At DDK, a trusted Chicago remodeling company, our team of expert Architectural designers have spent decades crafting family rooms that become the heart of the home. With locations in Itasca, Glenview, and Wilmette, we’ve had the privilege of working with families just like yours to create spaces that are truly special.
So, what makes a great family room? From our experience, it’s all about blending functionality, comfort, and personal style. Whether you’re looking to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy quality time with loved ones, a well-designed family room can make all the difference.
Where should we begin? Let’s start with storage. A clutter-free family room is a happy family room. Consider incorporating built-ins, shelving units, and storage ottomans to keep toys, books, and games out of sight. This will not only keep your space looking tidy but also make it easier to relax and focus on what matters most – your family.
Entertaining: When it comes to TV and entertainment, the options are endless. Consider a wall-mounted TV or a sleek, modern fireplace TV stand. And don’t forget about sound systems and gaming consoles – they’re must-haves for many families. Our design build team will work with you to create a family room that meets your entertainment needs.
Interior Features: Warm and inviting features like brick accents, wood paneling, and fireplaces can add a cozy touch to your family room. A fireplace is a great focal point for the room and can be designed to fit your style, from rustic to modern. Plus, who doesn’t love snuggling up by the fire on a chilly evening?
Furniture: Speaking of furniture, it’s essential to choose pieces that are both comfortable and functional. Consider a sectional sofa or a large, plush sectional. And don’t forget about scale – make sure your furniture is proportional to the size of your room. We can help you create a layout that encourages conversation and relaxation.
Flowing with the rest of your home: If you’re considering a home addition, a family room is a great place to start. Not only will it add value to your home, but it’ll also create a space that your family will love for years to come. Our team at DDK will work with you to design and build a family room addition that exceeds your expectations.
Your family room shouldn’t exist in a vacuum. Consider how it will flow into adjacent spaces, like your kitchen and dining room. An open-concept design can create a seamless transition between rooms and make entertaining a breeze. Plus, it’s perfect for keeping an eye on the kids while you’re cooking up a storm.
By incorporating these design elements, you’ll create a family room that’s truly yours – a space that reflects your unique style and meets your family’s needs. At DDK, we’re passionate about helping you create a home that you’ll love for years to come.
