Family Room Furniture
A family room is a place of comfort – from the oversized couches and armchairs, to the giant big screen TV. However, comfortable doesn’t have to mean dowdy. You can find great family room furniture on the market that are stylish, yet sensible. Take a look at the following furniture examples that’ll suit your family room:
Family Room Furniture: Sofas
When looking for that perfect sofa to relax on in your family room, keep one thing in mind – safety first. There are some sofa models that may have hard plastic arms or accents, as well as sharp corner, which may mean trouble if your child is playing on the couch and bumps into it. Rounded, plush sofas are your best bet.
The soft, suede Klaussner Furniture Auburn Comfortable Sofa has a relaxed contemporary vibe – perfect for the family room. Also, its dark brown tobacco finish will hide stains easier than a lighter-coloured sofa.
Want the ultimate in comfort? The microfiber-upholstered Coaster Hayden Pillow Top Sofa has a padded pillow top that you can sink into. Don’t fret over the light sand shade – microfiber is simple to clean up with a damp rag.
Have a sofa and recliner in one with the Tandem Carolina Leather Reclining Sofa. With dozens of leather finishes to choose from, you’ll find a shade that matches your living room perfectly.
Family Room Furniture: Armchairs
Basically, follow the same rules as you would for your sofa – curved and soft armchairs will fit your family room and be safe for your kids at the same time.
You’ll experience the smooth feeling of real leather with the Stylus Easton Leather Chair In Sensation Grizzly. Its unique curved arms offer visual interest and comfort at the same time.
Cozy up in the Klaussner Furniture Swivel Glider Chair. Its swivelling feature allows you to rotate while seated, to either face family members or even the television. Choose between nine upholstery finishes for a customized look.
The oversized arms featured in the Kathy Ireland Home by Omnia Furniture Leather Scottsdale Leather Club Rolled ArmChair are rounded and comfy, as opposed to sharp lines that may be harmful for your children. The coloured piping adds visual interest, and you can choose your own leather shade for the chair, as well as the finish of the feet.
Family Room Furniture: Ottomans
Put your feet up on a comfy ottoman while stretching out in front of the TV. They double as a coffee table and a footrest, so they’ll make a great place to rest snacks (or your feet) during family time.
The subtle NW Enterprises Classic Round Ottoman is fully padded and upholstered for your comfort needs. Its round shape has no corners, which is kid-friendly.
Again, notice the rounded edges of the Wholesale Interiors Baxton Studio Black Leather Ottoman with Tapered Base – if your child bumps into it, no harm done! It’s also visually stunning in shiny black leather.
Ideal for a sectional sofa, the Stratford Mainstream Ottoman fits nicely in the corner of a sectional. Its unique two-toned colour combination helps it stand out in your family room as a focal point.
Family Room Furniture: TV Stands
No matter what kind of style you’re into, there’s a TV stand that will fit your family room. Of course, the safer the better – although that all-glass TV stands may look stunning, is it practical enough for the family room?
A really practical option for the family room is a corner TV stand, like the Home Styles Furniture Bedford Black Wood Corner Plasma TV Stand. It takes up unused corner space, and eliminates the chances of your kids running into the side of it.
The sleek and modern BDI Cielo LCD/Plasma Glass Television Stand in Espresso Finish actually has unique curved edges that promote kid safety – plus it looks stunning at the same time!
For a traditional, yet contemporary look, the American Drew Bob Mackie Signature Fully Assembled Plasma Television Stand straddles the line between old and new. If you’re a fan of antiques, but also enjoy a modern shape, this TV stand will work for you! It will instantly offer style to your family room with its unique veneer detailing and gold metal hardware.
Family Room Furniture: Media Storage
You’re going to need a place to store all those DVDs, so look for a good-quality media storage unit. Don’t opt for anything too bulky and heavy – it’ll be difficult to move around, and possibly stick out like a sore thumb.
This is your family room, so feel free to have fun in it! The Southern Enterprises Phone Booth Media Storage Cabinet is in the shape of a British telephone booth, and fits your different types of media right inside its door. Storage cabinets with doors are ideal if you want to avoid your little ones getting into your storage.
If your child wants to grab a movie for themselves, the Spartak CD DVD Media Storage Cabinet With Drawers will work for them at their height! Place CDs in the drawers and DVDs in the cabinets for proper organization.
If you’ve been wanting media storage that rests against the wall, try the DVD/CD Media Storage Wall Unit in Sky Alder Finish with Matte Black Accents. It’s simple, but stylish, and definitely the right price if you’re on a budget!
Now all you have to do is kick back with a movie in your new family room furniture!
