Living Room
Queen size bed that fits into the living room design motif when used as a bedroom While this is not a murphy bed or a conversion sofa bed, I like this image as it shows how a bed can define a living room space without feeling too much like just a bedroom - as the majority of the time the room will be a living room/media room
Geometric modern built-in TV stand/wall focus area I like the look of this simple but modern built-in - perhaps not white but a different treatment. I also don't really need bookshelves per say, but the display areas are nice. I also like the use of the two gallery style lamps on the wall. I would like a built-in that hovers off the ground as the room has baseboard molding which I would like to preserve.
While I like some rustic/alpine influence shown here, I do not want to create a dark room environment like this image. The space already sits on a side of the house that doesn't receive a lot of natural light (except for the morning hours when I won't use the room much) - so it is darker already. I want to brighten the space with design elements, not darken it.
