Family Room: Interior Design Plan and Furnishings

Today I’m sharing the interior design plan and furniture selections for our family room! As always, shout out to the fabulous ladies at Heather Scott Home and Design for their help putting my vision on paper. We actually finalized the selections and ordered some (but not all!) of the furniture you’ll see in this post back in March. Everything was set to be delivered this month, but unfortunately the sectional and two lounge chairs have been delayed until at least September (foam shortages are to blame). Which is disappointing, but such is life sometimes. If I’ve learned anything renovating and designing, it’s patience!

Let’s start with the layout…

Family Room: Before Pictures and Renovation Update

There’s finally some construction progress happening this week! Sub-contractors have been in and out almost daily working on odds and ends in various places around the house. Electricians, flooring installers, cabinet makers, A/C company, mirror & glass guys, painters, roofers, power washers, A/V technicians… the list is long! There are a lot of little projects happening, but the main space I’m focusing on right now is our family room.

We’re renovating the family room first because we’ll need a space to hang out as a family and watch TV, etc. during phase 2 of the renovation. In phase 2, we’ll completely gut what I refer to as “the Great Room” which is our kitchen, pantry, breakfast nook, casual living space and fireplace area, plus the laundry room. When that project begins (there’s no timeline yet!), it will be nice having the family room completed so we have somewhere cozy to hang during construction.

Before and After: Upstairs Family Room

My husband’s out of town, so it’s just me and Kate this weekend. I never sleep well when he’s gone (anyone else?!), and I woke up before 5am. In my haze, I decided to mix up my morning coffee scenery and made my way upstairs to our family room for some quiet time before Kate woke up. While there, I posted a few Instagram stories of the space and received some questions. Then I remembered I hadn’t shared this room on the blog yet. Today (well, tonight as I’m writing) I’m correcting that!

Family Room: Before and After

Doing another before and after reveal today! This time I’m sharing with y’all the most used space in our entire home…. our family room. David and I hang out in here with the dogs and Kate all the time. While we keep most of her toys upstairs, we’ve got some of them down here in a basket sitting in a corner. Here’s a link to the toy basket if you’re interested. It’s the same style as the one our faux fiddle fig tree sits in.
