“This room espouses what is most important in every home, and that's comfort! We get so caught up in the idea that our spaces need to be perfect. To me, the more perfect you make it, the less comfortable it feels.

In the instance of this space, we wanted people to sit, chat and enjoy a drink…or two. So, we searched for furniture that would invite guests to sit and stay awhile. In your house, this might work in your den, the corner of a living room, or even your patio. If it's meant to be a space for hanging out, pick a combination of furniture that will wear well and encourage those you love to kick back and relax.”
