Since the back deck hangs right off of this room, it’s an ideal spot for hosting because of its easy access. This achieves an intentional space for the TV to live. I saw the image above, and thought it was clever to create some corner cabinetry below the TV. But, that only leaves the corner of the room for a wall mounted TV. Since this will be the main hangout room in the house, there will definitely be a TV in there for all our cherished movie nights! The problem is, we want the sofa to face out so you can look out the windows/door to enjoy the view. However, the rumpus room is only a few steps away, and is a more casual area meant for lounging around. ![]() I already mentioned my thoughts on not putting a TV in the main living area, which of course, has created much controversy in our household.

But seriously, you know the one - comfy, generous in size- maybe a pouf or ottoman to kick up your feet? We all know what I’m talking about … just not a recliner! Ha!

This room is located at the back of the floor plan, adjacent to the dining space, and we envision it to be an indoor/outdoor area. Since it’s obviously a more compact space, I need to remember when selecting pieces that they need to be equally as functional as they are beautiful.
