“beautiful, artistic ceiling and great living room”
“Love most of the elements in this room. Although at some point i do feel that a lot is going on. Would like to de-clutter a bit but still a gorgeous and beautiful room.”
“way too formal for me, but I love the screens and the ceiling!”
“Living Room Ceiling - love the art!!!”
“ornate room screens add glitz and Hollywood Regency style to this formal living room. Flanking the fireplace with them also adds balance and symmetry.”
“Star appeal. While this room is a perfect study in how to mix patterns and colors, it's all about the gold-leafed starburst mirror installed on the”

“Wine storage incorporated into living area”
“tasting room with racks in the lower level.”
“a wall in the great room”
“in same room as basement family room (20 crestmont)”
“family room in back. They never formally entertain, but they feel compelled to have a formal living room that sits empty. Why not make it into something else? You are avid wine collectors; make it a tasting room. You run a home business; make it an office. Make your home what you want. Space is space;”
“entire room for your wine cellar. If you’re tight on basement space, consider repurposing a closet or a small storage area.”
“Found wine cellar. Too often, we find our clients stuck with expectations as to what things should be and what others will want. They bought a house with a formal living room”

“Formal Living Room with custom refined sisal area rug, antique French wall sconces, furnishings in a mix of textures within a neutral palate.”
“Love the room! Who makes the wingback chairs? Thanks!”
“What are the dimensions if thus room please??”
“great room, I decided on Ben. Moore America's Heartland #197. I won't see it for awhile since they haven't started painting our new house yet so I hope it looks good! I thought Sherwin Williams Ivoire seemed too orangey and Napery seemed like not enough color. Others I considered were Weston Flax,”
“Except for the sconces, nice room”
“traditional rooms often are equated with Oriental or Persian rugs, a chunky sisal or jute rug adds texture and fits seamlessly. The subtle texture is one of the last things the eye and brain process in this room, allowing for an understated but interesting look.”

“The formal living room is one of the only rooms left from the original structure. Gray Thibaut wallpaper graces the walls. Though it looks like raw silk, it is actually vinyl. Scrubbable, washable, and bleachable, the wallpaper is perfect for a home with young children.

“unused formal living room off kitchen”
“I have a formal living room off a kitchen and I would love to use the space but dont know what to do! We have a family den just on the other side of the walk through. What can you do with a large space?”
“parlor-type room. Just a few chairs, couch or settee for conversation and/or an evening drink. Even the new homes are making them smaller and smaller. If the flow makes sense, I'd say go for it. Good luck!”

“gray and gold, note pops of color in back rooms”
“formal living room. traditional, yet modern. love the gold, thin trim on coffee table, love rug, love furniture and sconces.”
“adult rooms while focusing on colorful playfulness in the more kidcentric rooms. This formal living room's neutral color palette is accented by luxe metal finishes and rich textures. "We love to mix our metals!" exclaims Umansky. "This room features nickel sconces, gold rope frame chairs from Annie”
“make this room opulent and plush. Without them it would be just another cream-colored living room.”

“POssible chair style in living room?”
“: Too formalSolution: Tailor the room to your real life. Older homes especially are apt to have a "formal" living room in addition to the more laid-back den or TV room, and guess which one gets used more often? While the draw of screen time is great, you can entice family and friends into the living”
“living room by introducing a more relaxed vibe. Here are a few ways to do just that.• The tendency in formal rooms is to place furniture farther apart, which can feel stiff and uncomfortable. Instead, pull your chairs close to the sofa and table for a more intimate feel.• If you enjoy taking tea and snacks”
“into the living room, or you like to play cards, why not use a taller table? You can find some great ones in vintage shops, and there is something a little bit different about having a tall coffee table that feels warm and friendly.• Fill a basket with board games and cards, stock up on soft blankets to”

“Color of wall for my living room”
“both the formal living room and dining room. Custom pieces include the creamy gray chenille sofa and two accent chairs. The side table was damaged in shipping, but Heron made a deal with manufacturers got it repaired and painted the same hue as the walls. Always a stunner, the sunburst mirror is from Ren-Wil”
