Ship-lap walls and sliding barn doors add a rustic flair to the kid-friendly recreational space.

This dramatic family room is light and bright and modern while still being comfortable for the family.

Natural light exposes the beautiful details of this great room. Coffered ceiling encompasses a majestic old world feeling of this stone and shiplap fireplace. Comfort and beauty combo.

This new family room with wood vaulted ceiling and wood look floating hearth pops with tiger print mod wallpaper in black and gold offsetting the black brick of the fireplace and sliding doors

The substantial family room is bathed in sunlight due to its Western exposure. It functions as a casual sitting area, an informal dining area and is largely open to the kitchen. The French doors lead out to the deck and the rear yard.

Cozy benched flank the large fireplace and the spacious sofa has room for everyone.

This step-down family room features a coffered ceiling and a fireplace with a black slate hearth. We made the fireplace’s surround and mantle to match the raised paneled doors on the built-in storage cabinets on the right. For a unified look and to create a subtle focal point, we added moulding to the rest of the wall and above the fireplace. Sleek and contemporary, this beautiful home is located in Villanova, PA. Blue, white and gold are the palette of this transitional design. With custom touches and an emphasis on flow and an open floor plan, the renovation included the kitchen, family room, butler’s pantry, mudroom, two powder rooms and floors.

Starting with the great room; the center of attention is the linear fireplace faced with rich walnut paneling and flanked by walnut floating shelves with storage cabinets below painted “Railings” by Farrow & Ball. Gold Clemente Wall sconces spotlight family pictures and whimsical art pieces. Notice the custom wall paneling with an inset fit perfectly for the mounted TV. This wall paneling aligns so perfectly with a thoughtfully curated bookshelf that covertly opens to a (Surprise!) home office.
