Fra m e TVe big screen
While the television may be an essential
inclusion in most living areas, it’s
certainly not the most attractive. Kim
recently discovered the Samsung Frame
TV and considers it a great option.
‘It simply looks like a framed piece
of artwork when the screen is not being
used to watch a show,’ she says.
Greg suggests having a screen that
descends from the ceiling and a
drop-down section with a projector TV.
‘You get this amazing cinematic
experience, where you really appreciate
what you are watching. hen, once it’s
done, it all disappears,’ he says. ‘It may
be a little more expensive but its beneits
far outweigh the cost.’ ❖A window seat with comfy

These days, living spaces often combine lounge, dining and kitchen
areas, so defining those zones can add a sense of intimacy.
‘If you’re combining two rooms, the best way to create zones- a family/dining room, for instance – is to use floor rugs, as they
divide the spaces into their own areas,’ says Kim. ‘The use of a hall
table behind your sofa can also define a space.’
Creating nooks within the lounge room is another way to create
a cosy feel. ‘A lot of people say that they want an area where they
can just sit and have a cup of tea,’ says Natalee.
Think about how you like to live in that space and lay furniture
accordingly – perhaps a comfy armchair in the corner with an occasional
table and lamp, ideal for a quiet read.
