DANE AUSTIN INTERIOR DESIGN Boston & Cambridge

The key to success with all of his clients is trust and accountability, notes Austin. Of course, it helps that his aesthetics are impeccable. When asked what his client thought about his new home design, Austin says he was recently asked to renovate the client's New York City apartment. The client wrote: "Perhaps we can do as well in NY as we did in DC, which I must say, sets the bar pretty high."

Cover up your windows, but not the woodwork on this beautiful wall of windows. These shades will help insulate this space so the owners can enjoy their efficient radiant heater. Even the dog is smiling! Tom & Kate from CA

During our 1st meeting in the homeowners' dinette we were crowded by a number of craft projects. We also learned that Mr. Homeowner regularly practiced playing the trumpet. But, there was nowhere his music could be insulated from the rest of the home. Enter the idea for a hobby room. Now, the concept was complete. Instead of one single-use room there were four very functional spaces that would greatly reduce the homes clutter. But, the fun was just beginning. The hobby room features two remote-controlled Velux skylights with blinds, a very contemporary ceiling fan and light and custom-built furnace hidden in an eave behind a wall and maple doors. Not shown is a very funky Kohler cobalt lav with black wrought iron fixtures. The lav was so difficult to manufacture it took Kohler five months to get the color right. At least that is what they told us. But, decorating took on a whole new dimension. Mrs. Homeowner also likes red. So, the cathedral ceiling became cranberry. We suggested an interesting sheet vinyl floor. But, Mr. Homeowner started surfing the internet and found a company in Florence, Alabama that laser cuts 1/8" solid color commercial vinyl tile. All we had to do was design it in CAD (computer aided design) and they would cut the individual pieces. Every different colored tile in this photo is an individual piece. The grid is a 1/4" wide strip of a metallic silver colored vinyl. All the pieces were laid with mastic as a puzzle. This room was an interesting project all by itself. But, it really put the homeowners' signature on this signature space. And, that is what we are all about. The signature in Signature Spaces is that of the homeowner. We are just the interpreters.

Contemporary Family Room Ideas

As a primary space for relaxation and fun, family rooms often serve multiple functions. Since they’re more casual than traditional living rooms, they tend to get a lot of use — TV, reading and game night are all acceptable. As the go-to spot for so many activities, consider family room ideas that include plenty of storage and seating. Planning your family room design prior to decorating is key, so read on for tips to design your contemporary family room.

What kind of storage should I add to my contemporary family room design?

Before you start your remodel, consider your overall storage needs. Family room designs should be able to accommodate all of the items you usually keep in such a space, whether with built-ins or freestanding furniture. If you have young kids, toys might be an issue, so built-in cabinets or toy boxes would be worthwhile family room ideas to invest in. For high-tech families, add shelves for movies and video games and cabinets to hide small electronics like game consoles and DVD players. Better yet, invest in a large entertainment center or media console for a cohesive look. To encourage good work habits, pieces such as a bookshelf, desk, work table or built-in counter for homework and document organization, can be a lifesaver. Once you've planned out your storage needs, it's time to start thinking about the fun family room ideas!

How do I decorate my contemporary family room?

Since family rooms generally have an informal feel, they lend themselves well to a casual but fun decor style. Don't be afraid of bright contemporary decorating ideas, but be careful of going overboard. You can either stick with neutral furniture and bright accents, or highlight the furniture and scale back the accessories. Regardless, your contemporary family room decor should include functional and kid (or pet) friendly items, such as easy-to-clean rugs, throw pillows and curtains.
This is definitely one space in the home that should have plenty of character and personality, so be sure to bring in personal knickknacks, like colorful contemporary accessories and family photos to liven up even the most simplistic family rooms. Top it all off with mirrors, lamps and proper ceiling lighting to help light flow throughout the space. If you’re stuck for ideas, browse pictures of contemporary family rooms to draw more decor inspiration — who knows, you might be struck by one that you previously passed by!
