I PROBLEM

A COUPLE WITH TWO SONS AND TWO DAUGHTERS WANT TO HAVE THEIR OWN

HOUSE. THEY WANT IT TO BE A TWO-STOREY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING THATWOULD BE BUILT ON LOT THAT THEY HAD ACUIRED IN ONE LOCAL

SUBDIVISION. THE COUPLE ENVISIONS THAT THE DESIGN BE SIMPLE YETFUNCTIONAL.

IN THE GROUND FLOOR! THE LIVING AREA" DINING AREA" #ITCHEN" ONE-CARGARAGE" LAUNDRY" MAID$S UARTER FOR TWO WITH ITS OWN TOILET AND

BATH" A COMMON TOILET" AND THE MASTER BEDROOM WITH WAL# IN CLOSET

AND TOILET AND BATH WILL BE LOCATED. IN ADDITION TO THESE SPACES$ THECOUPLE WANTS TO HAVE A LANAI TO BE AD%ACENT EITHER IN THE LIVING OR

THE DINING AREA. THIS WILL BE USED AS E&TENSIONS FOR THEENTERTAINING VISITORS DURING SOME GATHERINGS.

FOR THE SECOND FLOOR$ THREE BEDROOMS WILL BE PROVIDED. TWO OFWHICH WILL BE FOR THE CHILDREN AND THE OTHER IS FOR THE VISITOR.THESE ROOMS WILL HAVE A COMMON TOILET AND BATH. THE CHILDREN$S

BEDROOM COULD EITHER HAVE TWO SINGLE BEDS OR A DOUBLE-DEC#.THEN! FOR VIEWING AND RELA&ING PURPOSES! A BALCONY IS REUIRED. IFTHE SPACE COULD STILL ACCOMMODATE! A MINI LIBRARY WHICH WILL ALSO

SERVE AS THE STUDY ROOM IS ONE OF THE SPACE REUIREMENTS.

II DE!INITION O! ARCHITECTURAL TERMS

LI#ING-ROOM- A ROOMIN ARESIDENTIALHOUSE FOR RELA&ING AND SOCIALI0ING. SUCH A

ROOM IS SOMETIMES CALLED A !RONT ROOMWHEN IT IS NEAR THE MAIN ENTRANCE AT THEFRONT OF THE HOUSE. THE TERM SITTING ROOMIS SOMETIMES USED SYNONYMOUSLY

WITH LIVING ROOM! ALTHOUGH A SITTING ROOM MAY ALSO OCCUR IN AHOTELOR OTHERPUBLIC BUILDING. THE TERM LIVING ROOMWAS COINED IN THE LATE 1TH OR EARLY 2THCENTURY..

DINING ROOM -AROOM FOR CONSUMING FOOD. IN MODERN TIMES IT IS USUALLY

AD%ACENT TO THE #ITCHEN FOR CONVENIENCE IN SERVING! ALTHOUGH IN MEDIEVALTIMESIT WAS OFTEN ON AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FLOOR LEVEL. HISTORICALLY THE DININGROOM IS FURNISHED WITH A RATHER LARGE DINING TABLEAND A NUMBER OF DINING

CHAIRS" THE MOST COMMON SHAPE IS GENERALLY RECTANGULAR WITH TWO ARMED ENDCHAIRS AND AN EVEN NUMBER OF UN-ARMED SIDE CHAIRS ALONG THE LONG SIDES.

%ITCHEN-A ROOM OR PART OF A ROOM USED FORCOO#INGANDFOOD PREPARATION.IN

THE WEST! A MODERN RESIDENTIAL #ITCHEN IS TYPICALLY EUIPPED WITH ASTOVE!ASIN#WITH HOT AND COLD RUNNING WATER! AREFRIGERATORAND

#ITCHEN CABINETSARRANGED ACCORDING TO A MODULAR DESIGN. MANY HOUSEHOLDSHAVE A MICROWAVE OVEN! ADISHWASHERAND OTHER ELECTRIC APPLIANCES. THE MAINFUNCTION OF A #ITCHEN IS COO#ING OR PREPARING FOOD BUT IT MAY ALSO BE USEDFOR DINING!FOOD STORAGE!ENTERTAINING!DISHWASHINGANDLAUNDRY.

GARAGE- PART OF A HOME! OR AN ASSOCIATED BUILDING! DESIGNED OR USED FOR

STORING A VEHICLE OR VEHICLES. IN SOME PLACES THE TERM IS USED SYNONYMOUSLYWITH CARPORT! THOUGH THAT TERM NORMALLY DESCRIBES A STRUCTURE THAT IS NOTCOMPLETELY ENCLOSED.

LAUNDRY AREA- (ALSO CALLED AUTILITY ROOM) IS A ROOMWHERECLOTHESAREWASHED. IN A MODERNHOME!A LAUNDRY ROOM WOULD BE EUIPPED WITH AN

AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINEAND CLOTHES DRYER! AND OFTEN A LARGE BASIN! CALLEDA LAUNDRY TUB! FOR HAND-WASHING DELICATE ARTICLES OF CLOTHING SUCH ASSWEATERS!AND AN IRONING BOARD.A TYPICAL LAUNDRY ROOM IS LOCATED IN THE BASEMENTOFOLDER HOMES! BUT IN MANY MODERN HOMES! THE LAUNDRY ROOM MIGHT BE FOUND ON

THE MAIN FLOOR NEAR THE #ITCHENOR UPSTAIRS NEAR THE BEDROOMS.

ANOTHER TYPICAL LOCATION IS AD%ACENT TO THE GARAGEAND THE LAUNDRY ROOM

SERVES AS A MUDROOMFOR THE ENTRANCE FROM THE GARAGE. AS THE GARAGE IS OFTENAT A DIFFERENT ELEVATION (OR GRADE) THAN THE REST OF THE HOUSE! THE LAUNDRY ROOMTHAT SERVES AS AN ENTRANCE FROM THE GARAGE THAT MAY BE SUN#EN FROM THE RESTOF THE HOUSE. THIS AVOIDS OR MINIMI0ES THE NEED FOR STAIRS BETWEEN THE GARAGE

AND THE HOUSE.

LAUNDRY ROOMS MAY ALSO INCLUDE STORAGE CABINETS! COUNTERTOPS FOR FOLDINGCLOTHES! AND! SPACE PERMITTING! A SMALL SEWING MACHINE.1

TOILET AND BATH &BATHROOM' -A ROOM FOR PERSONAL HYGIENE! GENERALLY

CONTAINING A BATHTUBOR A SHOWER! ATOILETAND SIN# (INNORTH AMERICA)! AND

POSSIBLY ALSO A BIDET. IN NORTH AMERICAN ENGLISH! A BATHROOM IS COMMONLY USEDTO MEANANY ROOM CONTAINING A TOILET! POSSIBLY EVEN A PUBLIC TOILET (WHICH! INTHE USA!IS MORE COMMONLY CALLED A RESTROOM).

WAL%-IN CLOSET - (OFTEN SHORTENED TO WAL#-IN) :A CLOSET LARGE ENOUGH TO WAL#

INSIDE TO STORE CLOTHES OR OTHER OB%ECTS! ON TWO OR THREE SIDES. THEY MAY HAVELIGHTING! MIRRORS! AND FLOORING DISTINCT FROM AD%ACENT ROOMS.

LANAI- A TYPE OF ROOFED! OPEN-SIDEDVERANDA!PATIOORPORCHORIGINATING

IN HAWAII. MANY HOMES! APARTMENT BUILDINGS! HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS IN HAWAII AREBUILT WITH ONE OR MORE L3NAIS.

BEDROOM- A PRIVATE ROOMWHERE PEOPLE USUALLY SLEEP FOR THE NIGHT OR RELA&

DURING THE DAY. ABOUT ONE THIRD OF OUR LIVES ARE SPENT SLEEPING AND MOST OF THETIME WE ARE ASLEEP! WE ARE SLEEPING IN A BEDROOM.14TO BE CONSIDERED A BEDROOM

THE ROOM NEEDS TO HAVE A BED. BEDROOMS CAN RANGE FROM REALLY SIMPLE TO FAIRLYCOMPLE&. OTHER STANDARD FURNISHINGS A TYPICAL BEDROOM USUALLY HAS ARE! ACLOSET! NIGHTSTAND! DES#! AND DRESSER. TODAY IN RICHER COUNTRIES THAT HAVEHOUSES WITH MULTIPLE BEDROOMS! A BATHROOM MAY BE CONNECTED TO THE BEDROOM.

THIS DID NOT START HAPPENING UNTIL THE MID TO LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

BALCONY- A PLATFORM PRO%ECTING FROM THE WALL OF A BUILDING!

SUPPORTED BY COLUMNSORCONSOLE BRAC#ETS! AND ENCLOSEDWITH A BALUSTRADE.

STUDY ROOM -A ROOM IN A HOUSE WHICH IS USED FOR PAPERWOR#! COMPUTER WOR#!

OR READING.HISTORICALLY! THE STUDY OF A HOUSE WAS RESERVED FOR USE AS THEPRIVATE OFFICE AND READING ROOM OF A FAMILY FATHER AS THE FORMAL HEAD OF A

HOUSEHOLD! BUT TODAY STUDIES ARE GENERALLY EITHER USED TO OPERATE A HOMEBUSINESSOR ELSE OPEN TO THE WHOLE FAMILY.

A TYPICAL STUDY MIGHT CONTAIN A DES#!CHAIR! COMPUTER! A DES# LAMP OR TWO! AND

BOO#SHELVES. A SPARE BEDROOMIS OFTEN UTILI0ED AS A STUDY! BUT MANY MODERNHOMES HAVE A ROOM SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED AS A STUDY. OTHER TERMS USED FORROOMS OF THIS NATURE INCLUDEDEN!HOME OFFICE! OR LIBRARY.

TWO STOREY HOUSE

A STOREY ON A HOUSE IS ONLY OFFICIAL IF IT IS ABOVE GRADE. A BASEMENT DOES NOTCOUNT AS A STOREY. TO HAVE A TWO STOREY HOUSE! IT HAS TO HAVE 2 LEVELS ABOVE

GRADE. IE A MAIN FLOOR AND AN UPPER FLOOR. A WAL#OUT BASEMENT ON A BUNGALOWDOESN7T COUNT. AND THE UPPER LEVEL HAS TO BE THE SAME SI0E OR COMPARABLE TO THE

MAIN FLOOR TO COUNT AS A COMPLETE STOREY. THIS CAN ALSO INCLUDE HOUSES THATONLY HAVE HALF THE ACTUAL LIVING SPACE ON AN UPPER LEVEL! HOWEVER THEY HAVE A

VAULTED 1'8 FOOT CEILING IN THE LIVING ROOM AND9OR #ITCHEN. THIS STILL COUNTS AS ATWO STOREY AND IS APPARENT WHEN VIEWING FROM THE OUTSIDE.

STAIRS -A CONSTRUCTION DESIGNED TO BRIDGE ALARGE VERTICALDISTANCE BY DIVIDING IT INTO SMALLERVERTICAL DISTANCES! CALLED STEPS. STAIRS MAY BE STRAIGHT!ROUND! OR MAY CONSIST OF TWO OR MORE STRAIGHT PIECESCONNECTED AT ANGLES.

SPECIAL TYPES OF STAIRS INCLUDEESCALATORSAND LADDERS.SOME ALTERNATIVES TO STAIRS ARE ELEVATORS (U#:

LIFTS)!STAIRLIFTSAND INCLINEDMOVING WAL#WAYSAS WELL ASSTATIONARY INCLINED SIDEWAL#S (U#: PAVEMENTS).

COMPONENTS AND TERMINOLOGYSTEP - THE STEP IS COMPOSED OF THE TREAD AND RISER.

TREAD

THE PART OF THE STAIRWAY THAT IS STEPPED ON. IT ISCONSTRUCTED TO THE SAMESPECIFICATIONS(THIC#NESS) ASANY OTHER FLOORING. THE TREAD DEPTH IS MEASURED FROMTHE OUTER EDGE OF THE STEP TO THE VERTICAL RISERBETWEEN STEPS. THE WIDTH IS MEASURED FROM ONE SIDE TOTHE OTHER.

RISER

THE VERTICAL PORTION BETWEEN EACH TREAD ON THE STAIR. THIS MAY BE MISSING FOR AN OPENSTAIR EFFECT.

NOSING

AN EDGE PART OF THE TREAD THAT PROTRUDES OVER THE RISER BENEATH. IF IT IS PRESENT! THISMEANS THAT! MEASURED HORI0ONTALLY! THE TOTAL RUN LENGTH OF THE STAIRS IS NOT SIMPLY THESUM OF THE TREAD LENGTHS! AS THE TREADS ACTUALLY OVERLAP EACH OTHER SLIGHTLY.

STARTING STEP OR BULLNOSE

WHERE STAIRS ARE OPEN ON ONE OR BOTH SIDES! THE FIRST STEP ABOVE THE LOWER FLOOR MAY BEWIDER THAN THE OTHER STEPS AND ROUNDED. THE BALUSTERS TYPICALLY FORM A SEMICIRCLEAROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE ROUNDED PORTION AND THE HANDRAIL HAS A HORI0ONTALSPIRAL CALLED A VOLUTE THAT SUPPORTS THE TOP OF THE BALUSTERS. BESIDES THE COSMETICAPPEAL! STARTING STEPS ALLOW THE BALUSTERS TO FORM A WIDER! MORE STABLE BASE FOR THE

END OF THE HANDRAIL. HANDRAILS THAT SIMPLY END AT A POST AT THE FOOT OF THE STAIRS CAN BELESS STURDY! EVEN WITH A THIC# POST. A DOUBLE BULLNOSECAN BE USED WHEN BOTH SIDES OF THESTAIRS ARE OPEN.

STRINGER( STRINGER BOARD OR SOMETIMES JUST STRING

THE STRUCTURAL MEMBER THAT SUPPORTS THE TREADS AND RISERS.THERE ARE TYPICALLY TWO STRINGERS! ONE ON EITHER SIDE OF THESTAIRS" THOUGH THE TREADS MAY BE SUPPORTED MANY OTHER WAYS.THE STRINGERS ARE SOMETIMES NOTCHED SO THAT THE RISERS ANDTREADS FIT INTO THEM. STRINGERS ON OPEN-SIDED STAIRS AREOFTEN OPEN THEMSELVES SO THAT THE TREADS ARE VISIBLE FROMTHE SIDE. SUCH STRINGERS ARE CALLED CUT STRINGERS.STRINGERS ON A CLOSED SIDE OF THE STAIRS ARE CLOSED! WITH THESUPPORT FOR THE TREADS ROUTED INTO THE STRINGER.

WINDERS

WINDERS ARE STEPS THAT ARE NARROWER ON ONE SIDE THAN THE OTHER. THEY ARE USED TOCHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE STAIRS WITHOUT LANDINGS. A SERIES OF WINDERS FORM A CIRCULAROR SPIRAL STAIRWAY.WHEN THREE STEPS ARE USED TO TURN A CORNER! THE MIDDLE STEP ISCALLED A %ITE WINDERAS A #ITE-SHAPEDUADRILATERAL.

TRIM

TRIM (E.G. UARTER-ROUNDORBASEBOARDTRIM) IS NORMALLY APPLIED WHERE WALLS MEET FLOORSAND OFTEN UNDERNEATH TREADS TO HIDE THE REVEAL WHERE THE TREAD AND RISER MEET. SHOE

MOULDINGMAY BE USED BETWEEN WHERE THE LOWER FLOOR AND THE FIRST RISER MEET. TRIMMINGA STARTING STEP IS A SPECIAL CHALLENGE AS THE LAST RISER ABOVE THE LOWER FLOOR IS ROUNDED.FLE&IBLE!

ADDING A TWO-STOREY E*TENSION

ABOVE: THE SIDE AND REAR EXTENSION ON THIS VICTORIAN STONE COTTAGE IS CLAD IN

WHITE RENDER, CREATING A CONTRAST BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL BUILDING AND THE

CONTEMPORARY EXTENSION.

ADDING A TWO-STOREY E*TENSION TO YOUR HOME CAN INCREASE BOTH LI#ING SPACE ANDTHE #ALUE O! YOUR PROPERTY. BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER CERTAIN POINTSBE!ORE STARTING. E*PERIENCED RENO#ATOR MICHAEL HOLMES O!!ERS HIS AD#ICE ONE*TENDING( INCLUDING ASSESSING THE POTENTIAL O! YOUR HOME( HOW TO USE THEE*TRA SPACE AND TYPICAL BUILD COSTS !OR AN E*TENSION.

A TWO-STOREY E&TENSION COULD BE THE PERFECT WAY TO TRANSFORM YOUR HOME! INCREASING

LIVING SPACE AND BEDROOM ACCOMMODATION SIMULTANEOUSLY. IT MAY ALSO PROVE MORE COST-EFFECTIVE THAN BUILDING A SINGLE-STOREY E&TENSION! AS IT SPREADS THE COST OF TWO OF THEMOST E&PENSIVE ELEMENTS THE FOUNDATIONS AND THE ROOF BRINGING DOWN THE AVERAGECONSTRUCTION COST PER M2. USING THE ROOF SPACE TOO COULD BE EVEN MORE COST-EFFECTIVE.

BUILDING OVER MORE THAN ONE STOREY IS ALSO MORE SPACE-EFFICIENT AS IT SACRIFICES LESS OFAN OUTDOOR SPACE THAN A SINGLESTOREY E&TENSION OF THE SAME AREA.

ASSESSING POTENTIAL

THE REAR OF A PROPERTY USUALLY OFFERS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO ADD A TWO-STOREYE&TENSION! ESPECIALLY ON A TERRACED HOUSE OR SEMI-DETACHED PROPERTY.

WHERE A PROPERTY HAS A LARGE OUTDOOR AREA! AS MANY HOUSES ON A STREET CORNER DO!

THERE MAY BE THE POTENTIAL TO E&TEND OVER TWO STOREYS AT THE SIDE. IN SOME INSTANCES! ATWO-STOREY E&TENSION CAN BE AT THE SIDE AND PRO%ECT TO THE REAR OR TO THE FRONT OF THEE&ISTING PROPERTY.

WHERE THERE ARE HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS ON THE ROOF! IMPOSED BY THE PLANNERS (FIND OUT MOREABOUT PLANNING PERMISSION)! THERE MAY STILL BE SCOPE TO ADD A SECOND STOREY BY USING THEROOF SPACE TO FORM A ONE-AND-A-HALF-STOREY E&TENSION. ALTERNATIVELY! IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TODIG DOWN INTO THE GROUND AND BUILD TWO STOREYS WHILE STILL #EEPING THE HEIGHT OF THEE&TENSION ROOF LOW THIS COULD RESULT IN A BASEMENT LEVEL OR SPLIT-LEVEL DESIGN! AND CANWOR# ESPECIALLY WELL ON A SLOPING SITE.

IT IS ALSO WORTH CONSIDERING WHETHER AN E&TENSION AT FIRST FLOOR LEVEL COULD BE MORETHAN TWO STOREYS HIGH FOR E&AMPLE! AT THE REAR OF A GEORGIAN TERRACED PROPERTY WITHSEVERAL STOREYS.

USING THE SPACE

GENERALLY! GROUND FLOOR SPACE WILL BE USED AS LIVING ACCOMMODATION! AND FIRST FLOOR

SPACE FOR BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS. HOWEVER! WHERE THERE ARE GREAT VIEWS FROM THEHOUSE! OR IF IT IS BUILT INTO A SLOPE! IT CAN BE WORTH CONSIDERING HAVING A LIVING ROOMUPSTAIRS.

EUALLY! GROUND FLOOR SPACE COULD BE USED FOR BEDROOMS IT IS IDEAL FOR A SELF-CONTAINED ANNE&E AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE. THIS COULD BE USED FOR GUESTS! INDEPENDENTACCOMMODATION OR AS A HOME OFFICE.

ADDING #ALUE

PROPERTIES ARE GENERALLY VALUED ON THE BASIS OF PRICE PER M;. TO GET AN IDEA OF THEPROPERTY VALUES IN YOUR AREA! FIND SEVERAL PROPERTIES THAT ARE COMPARABLE TO WHAT YOUPROPOSE TO BUILD! AND DIVIDE THE AS#ING OR SALE PRICE BY THE AREA OF THE PROPERTY. THIS WILLGIVE YOU AN AVERAGE VALUE PER M;. IF YOU COMPARE THIS WITH THE AVERAGE COST PER M; OF

BUILDING YOUR E&TENSION! YOU CAN WOR# OUT WHETHER OR NOT YOUR PROPOSALS AREFINANCIALLY VIABLE.

BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A LIMIT TO HOW MUCH VALUE YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR HOME! #NOWN AS THECEILING VALUE. IN ESSENCE! IT IS USUALLY DIFFICULT TO E&CEED THE HIGHEST PRICE EVER PAID FOR APROPERTY IN YOUR AREA! UNLESS THE DESIGN YOU CREATE IS UITE E&CEPTIONAL.

THERE ARE SEVERAL VARIABLES THAT AFFECT THE COST OF BUILDING AN E&TENSION. MATERIAL COSTSARE BROADLY THE SAME ACROSS THE WHOLE OF THE U#! BUT YOUR CHOICE OF MATERIALS! FI&TURESAND FITTINGS WILL HAVE A VERY BIG INFLUENCE ON THE FINAL COST ESPECIALLY YOUR CHOICE OF#ITCHEN AND BATHROOM FITTINGS AND FLOORING.

TYPICAL BUILD COSTS

UNLI#E MATERIAL PRICES! LABOUR COSTS VARY SIGNIFICANTLY ACROSS THE U#! FROM

WORDS MICHAEL HOLMESFEATURED IN THE AUGUST 212 ISSUE OF REAL HOMES

!ROM HOME ON DESIGNS O!!ICIAL WEBSITE :

LI#ING ROOM DESIGNS IDEASALI#ING ROOMIN YOUR HOME WOULD BE THE FIRST ROOM THAT ANYONE VIEWS WHEN HE ENTERS.THE DESIGN IDEAS OF THIS ROOM MAY GREATLY BE RESPONSIBLE TO CREATE AN ENDURINGIMPRESSION ON THE GUEST$S MIND. THIS IS THE ONLY ROOM AT YOUR HOME THAT WILL BE USED BYTHE GUESTS AS WELL AS YOUR MEMBERS OF FAMILY TOGETHER. HERE ARE SOME CONCEPT$S IDEAS TOMA#E A THIS ROOM PLEASANT.

USE AN IN#ITING COLOR PLAN.

THIS IS UITE SELF-E&PLANATORY. ASSAID EARLIER IT IS THE FIRST ROOM INYOUR HOME. SOMETIMES LARGE HOME

BUILDINGS DO HAVE AN ENTRANCELOBBY! BUT FOR MOST APARTMENTS ANDSMALL-SCALE HOUSES! A LIVINGROOMIS ONE OF THE MA%ORS INSIDESPACES TO SETTLE FOR. A BRIGHTCOLOR PLAN IS ALWAYS INVITING ANDMA#ES AN IMPRESSION OF A BIG SPACE.THIS IS BECAUSE ILLUMINATIONENTERING THE SPACE REFLECTS FROMYOUR BRIGHT-COLORED WALLS ANDCREATES AN EVEN ILLUMINATED SPACE.

PLAN !URNITURE LAYOUT BE!ORE

THIS POINT IS E&TREMELY IMPORTANT. IN MOST OF THE HOME PLANS YOU WILL FIND THAT MOSTADDITIONAL ROOMS NAMELY BEDROOMS! #ITCHEN! DINING! LOVED ONE$S ROOMS! STAIRCASE BLOC#TO REACH UPPER FLOORS USUALLY STEER VIA THE LIVING ROOM.

HENCE IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO CONSIDER THE EASE WITH WHICH THE GUESTS AND MEMBERS OFTHE FAMILY MAY TRAVELING WITHIN THE HOME. FURTHERMORE! THE FURNITURE PIECES THAT MUST BETA#EN TO INTERNAL ROOMS SHALL BE TA#EN VIA THE SPACE. FOR THIS PURPOSE! IT IS E&TREMELYIMPORTANT TO PLAN THE FURNITURE LAYOUT BEFORE YOU EVEN PURCHASE ANY FURNITURE. A WELL-PLANNED FURNITURE LAYOUT WILL MA#E IT EASIER TO CIRCULATE INVOLVING THE ROOMS WITHOUTANY DISTURBANCE IN THE LIVING ROOM SEATING AREAS.

USE DECORATING ACCESSORIES

ACCESSORIES ARE GREAT FOR ANY #IND OF HOME DECORATING. THESE ARE THE LITTLE THINGS THATMA#E A MA%OR DIFFERENCE. ACCESSORIES MAY INCLUDE STATUES! INSIDE FOUNTAINS! PLANTS!CURTAINS! WALL CLOC#S! PICTURE FRAMES! WALL HANGINGS! ETC . ALL THESE MA#E GREAT FILLERS INLIVING ROOM DESIGN.

A BALANCE MUST BE DEVELOPED AS TO HOW TO USE THEM WITHIN THIS ROOM. FOR E&AMPLE! A METALSTATUE CAN BE A FREE STANDING ON THE CORNER FORMED AFTER THE SOFAS ARE PLACED.HOWEVER! THEIR SPACE CAN ALSO BE ENTERTAINED BY A SMALL COVER FROM THE SUN-LOVINGPLACE.
