THE FAMILY ROOM: "I have seen many magnificent and precise homes that yet were cold. However, this home is different. IT has unique moments. It is immediately comfortable. The way the rooms communicate to one another is as good as I have ever seen." (Frank Macri, President Andrews/Birt Advertising * Newmedia Minneapolis/Denver). This Family Room is oriented toward 'Finger Rock' of the Catalina Mountains beyond. The design is bright and airy with the spaces of the Family Room, Kitchen, and Nook flowing together. Heavy chamfered doug-fir beams with beautiful corbels add character at the ceiling level. Plain slump block masonry is given life by the 'Adobe Mortar Wash' finish, as black hand made wrought-iron detaining at the mantle, bar/foot-rail, and kitchen fan hood, (not seen here) help tie the spaces together with a common material of unique application.

Southwestern Family Room with a Bar 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 southwestern family room.

What kind of storage should I add to my southwestern family room with a Bar 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 with a Bar ideas!

How do I decorate my southwestern family room with a Bar?

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 southwestern 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 southwestern family room with a Bar 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 southwestern 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.
