Living Area

After. The owners worked with designer Kate Bendewald to transform the room into a bright, modern space for watching football games and other sports.Bendewald replaced the existing sectional with one that was a better scale for the room. “Choosing the right scale furniture is always critical to making a space feel right,” she says. She also flipped its layout to orient toward the TV and the view outside instead of the bar. The area rug became the statement piece of the room and a jumping-off point for a modern, global style inspired by the homeowners’ world travels. Built-ins were critical to the success of the design, offering open and closed storage for TV components as well as the games and Legos that the homeowners knew would eventually flood the space.“We chose to float the built-ins for a more modern feel,” Bendewald says. “Designing them to go to the ceiling while floating the bottom visually elevated the space and made it feel more grand. The only tricky part was getting the scale just right with the TV.”Lightweight wooden stools take the place of a coffee table for a versatile option to hold drinks or act as extra seating.Alice sectional, AllModern; built-ins: California ...
