Casual TV Room With Wet Bar

An area rug covered with large circles in paint box colors inspired the décor of this cozy attic family room. The red, blue, green and yellow color palette makes accessorizing easy, offering many different decorating options.

Here, the room is furnished with two comfortable upholstered armchairs, covered in a yellow print, along with an antique reproduction chair and ottoman in a coordinating striped fabric. Two round sea grass ottomans work as both footrests and coffee tables. In one corner, a built-in bar unit with a sink and mini-fridge makes a convenient centre for preparing and serving snacks.

The room's shining hardwood floor remains visible around the rug, creating a warm backdrop for the cheerful furnishings. Accessories include a contemporary floor lamp with five goose-necked shades, several modern paintings and a collection of art glass vases.

The big screen television is set into an alcove between two dormer windows, a placement that helps to downplay its size and hide unsightly wires. Overhead, a ceiling fan is both functional and aesthetic -- providing air circulation in summer as well as an informal design element year-round. Sage green walls with white woodwork trim complete the décor.
