As the cold dark nights draw in, we will be venturing indoors to entertain our guests, providing winter warmers and home cooked food by a warm evening fire. For many, we will be transitioning our summer décor to our autumn / winter, and we have expert advice on how to decorate the perfect entertainment space for your home, particularly fit for the autumnal months.
Depending on how much space you have in your home, it’s always a good idea to keep your entertainment space separate from your personal living space such as dining areas, living rooms, and snugs. Alongside looking chic and elegant the room needs to be functional. If your room is filled with masses of natural light, you can opt for smoky tones and earthy hues, with a natural selection of materials and furniture pieces.
Introducing leather, woods, concretes, metal, and other natural pieces within this space will create a sophisticated, adult only space. To create depth and texture, you can introduce shelving set back into your wall alcoves with additional lighting in metallic hues as a contrast against your earthy tones. This space will also set the tone for the rest of the room, creating ambience and a real focal point. Additionally, you can use this space for storing décor accessories, books, or even a bar area.
Creating a multifunctional space is perfect for introducing the room for a variety of functions. From a game’s night to wine tasting, corporate meetings, and casual drinks with friends, the room, if designed with functionality and aesthetics in mind, will work beautifully, setting the tone for the rest of your home.
If you don’t have the space for separate living space and entertainment space, a large, multifunctional room will have something for everybody. This space can be used to watch moves, host film nights, sporting events, and so on. If you can, you should segment your room tastefully to adapt the space to suit your entertainment needs.
Let’s talk lighting. Keep your space well lit. Having the appropriate number of light sources gives you a variety of lighting levels throughout the room. We recommend one feature light in the centre of the room followed by 2 table lights, or 1 table light accompanied by a statement floor light over a seating area.
