hmmm.....I guess Im not sure how to decorate it as one room. Ideas?

Are you ready to buy new furniture? If so, a large sectional could jump start the project. Any color but black or brown - they are too limiting and look twice as bulky because of the color.

You can give the illusion of two spaces by adding some tall furniture between the areas you would like to separate. A tall shelf can add storage and provide visual separation without the cost of adding a wall.

Using the same flooring material for all three rooms would help the house seem larger. The flooring would be the continuing element that ties the kitchen, living, and family room together, and with the large shelving separating the two areas, you could decorate them as individual rooms however you like.

Yes I'm ready to buy furniture. So no Browns or blacks huh....? I would love to buy white or a lightish gray but I have a 1 year old and a 7 year old. Dnt know how that would work.

Oh and Green Depot that's a great idea! However I was going to build the wall myself. I was also going to sound proof it to limit the sound sense there would be a tv on the opposite wall.

I would not separate these spacesI don't think the area is large enough as for white furniture go for white leather in a tough hide and it will take all the stuff the kids can throw at it. I have white leather 2 big dogs and numerous grand kids in and out all the time no problem

Okay yes I see what u mean the spaces would probably be to small an kill the open feel. It probably would be bad for resale as well. Those pics are very nice I love the colors and the furniture idea could defiantly work with the kids!
I'll need to re-think everything now lol!
Thx!

Here are some tricks for dividing and conquering without closing it off.
