Room Layout Inspiration from BH&G

Hi all- A few days ago a good friend asked me to “run in and give her ideas for her family room.” I didn’t feel like I was much help and then I was on the  BH&G website and found some inspiration for her. I thought I would share with you all if you are looking for a little furniture flipping!  The one suggestion another good friend gave me when  re-arranging  furniture is to clear the room (as much as physically possible) to have a blank slate.

I found my own family room inspiration  with this Pottery Barn ad last fall. This layout changed my world.. or at least my world from my family room’s perspective.

Sidenote: We JUST removed the shutters which opens up the room like we never imagined!

Here’s some more inspiration from BH&G. Look, no window treatments!

This layout is an example of angles.  I don’t know if I can pull off an angle. Who has tried a similar furniture  layout?

Here’s a fan favorite with seating facing in and a sofa table to divide the space/room behind the sofa. Just wondering do you all say  sofa or couch?

I love this look, but I don’t know how practical it is for a family who likes to lounge on the couch. I could see this in a living room.  What do you think?

 And, I saved my favorite for last! For me it’s a perfect mix of comfy and neat! Which one is your favorite?
