The place where family members spend the most time together is the family room. It is the place where guests are entertained, and family unwinds after a busy day at work, school, or running errands. It is the heart of the home, a place we want to feel good and relax. In more recent years, we have found greater comfort in staying home. It has become our refuge, our sanctuary. We desire a space that welcomes all, with warmth and coziness, not just a room to sit in. Therefore, furnishings, decor and design have been greatly influenced to provide such a space.
To create that nest to bring family and friends together, there are certain things one can do to enhance the look of the space. Some are:
Cube Storage Ottoman
1. Rugged, unattractive recliners are out! Oversized and sleeker chairs are in. The chairs of today are less bulky, and come in affordable leather with side handles that have disappeared. The reclining mechanisms are hidden. Many sectionals now offer recliners built right into them.
2. Sectionals provide more seating for larger groups. These now come in a variety of fabrics that are soft and yet durable, like microfiber, and many configurations. These provide a place to sprawl out in and relax.
3. Additional seating is provided by upholstered chairs that provide comfort and room. The chair and-a-half has become very popular in rooms that can handle the size. Ottomans and cubes are also incorporated.
4. Media or entertainment centers have typically become the focal point of the room. These provide organized shelving and storage for media equipment, photos, games and books.
5. Position the TV so that it does not face southern exposure which may cause glare.
6. If the room is large enough, create separate spaces for family interaction. That means a space for TV watching, another for card or game playing, and a third for quiet reading.
7. Color your room with paint and fabrics. Get away from beige of yesteryear. Sunny colors like golds, oranges, and corals warm up the space and create a warm environment. "Chocolate" is the new neutral and the new black. Blues like navy, gray-blues, and robin's egg, are always popular. Greens are earthy and remind us of nature.
8. Functional pieces are necessary. Make sure that you have a place to store magazines and newspapers next to seating where reading is done. End tables for putting down a glass or book by the chair, is also a must.
9. Enhance the room with candles, books, plants and flowers (whether fresh or silk), and photos of family members.
10. Remember to have a couple throws and accent pillows on the seating to not only create coziness through color and texture, but also provide family members with something that they can "cozy" up with on a day when it is needed. Create comfort.
11. Remember, window treatments provide not only insulation from heat and cold, but also compliment the look and feel of the room. They are the finishing touch to the windows. There are many affordable solutions in silk, linen, cottons and blends. Finishing touches like fringe, beads, and tassels can reflect the style of the room. These treatments don't need to be fussy.
Remember, any room can have furniture, but it is how you finish the room that adds comfort, coziness and warmth to bring family and friends together.

Durango Four Sectioned Black Leather Cube Storage Ottoman Overview
Dining in the living room in front of the television has long been a favorite way to enjoy meals, yet those unsightly 'TV trays' take away from the beautifully decorated atmosphere. If you've come close to giving up this battle, the solution is finally here! The Durango Leather Tray Ottoman offers the perfect way to dine away from the table and in stunning style. What appear to be four upholstered leather cushions are actually four individual trays! Simply lift one of the four trays, flip it over, and you now have a large wooden dining tray in a beautiful mahogany shade. The padded leather, that previously was the top of the ottoman, is now a comfortable rest for the tray on your lap. Never again will you need to bring out those TV trays. The trays also provide a great way to just hold glasses or desserts without having to worry about placing them on the leather. Just turn over as many trays that you need, they'll fit right into place even when flipped, to give you as much room as a large a coffee table would provide.
