Alternative ideas for living rooms=20
Published on Saturday, Jun 19, 2010=20


Not much living goes on in a lot of living rooms. Dallas interior =
designer Elaine Williamson has some ideas for alternative uses for =
formal living rooms:=20

. Convert it to a library or reading den. Besides reclaiming the room's =
functionality, it gives you a place for all the books that tend to =
accumulate around the house.=20

. Create a music lounge. Outfit it so residents and guests can listen to =
and play music there.=20

. Turn it into a dining room. If the room is fairly large, you'll have =
space for a big, elegant table, a sideboard and other appropriate =
furnishings, If you already have a smaller formal dining space, turn it =
into a reading den, sitting room or home office.=20

. If the living room is not in a highly visible place in the house - =
that is, right inside the front door - consider turning it into a media =
or theater room. That transition is easiest if the room already has =
doors and few windows, but you can add doors and heavy window coverings =
to block light.=20

. Create a billiard room and bar, a children's play room, an exercise =
room or a craft studio. If necessary, add a door to hide clutter.=20
