Carl and Roberta Berry of Waldorf are trying to decorate their outdated family rooms.
They want a leisure and comfortable space where people can watch movies, but it should be brighter than a home theater.
Their wish list includes wood flooring, embedded lighting, and storage.
Designer Amy Ross offers a modern advantage to the old space by adding a lot of lighting and cool color schemes in gray and blue.
Divide the room into two seating areas, one for watching movies and one for reading.
Use a variety of light sources such as embedded lighting, desk and floor lamp to illuminate the room.
Small furniture can be easily used by tourists.
In order to accommodate more people, it is easy to rearrange the mats and coffee tables.
Install the projector to eliminate wire clutter.
Balance mode and solid.
A printed carpet that stands out on ordinary sofas and walls.
When the movie, draw the shadow.
The wall is the gray Nimbus by Benjamin Moore.
