Furnish for Comfort

Once every two years family and friends fill up the family room to watch the Olympic Games. For over 2 weeks, family members spend more time together in one room than usual.  Take advantage of the common interest and decorate your family room to encourage more frequent gatherings.


Plenty of comfortable seating is the key to bringing family together to watch t.v. When placing sofa and chairs, plan for optimal views of the t.v. screen.  Sit on each section of the sofa and on each chair to determine if the angle allows for comfortable t.v. viewing.

Arrange coffee tables and side tables so that they can provide plenty of room to place snacks and drinks. Place large pillows or ottomans around the tables to offer extra seating.


Choose seating with comfortable cushions and add throw pillows for extra comfort.  As everyone has different temperatures they are comfortable at, keep the temperature on the cooler side, but have throw blankets within easy reach so family and friends can add a layer of warmth if needed. 


Create an environment that invites people to feel relaxed and comfortable and you just might find they come back more often for some quality family time!
