Ready to breathe new life into the heart of your home this year? Start your family room renovation before the holiday chaos, and enjoy a space that feels cozy and bright all year long. Your family room should invite people in, feel comfortable, and encourage togetherness, and with the right template, you can create a room that\u2019s not only gorgeous, but also practical, warm, and perfect for gathering with loved ones.<\/p>\n

With so many family room designs to choose from, it\u2019s up to you to find the perfect one. We were inspired by a modern farmhouse look, which we achieved with soft white paint, dark accents, and carefully styled d\u00e9cor. Taking our room from light to dark required that we first primed the walls for a better paint application, so we chose KILZ 2\u00ae<\/sup> All-Purpose Primer<\/a>, which simplified the job thanks to its multipurpose formula.<\/p>\n

\"Before<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fast drying, water-based, and able to be used on multiple surfaces\u2014such as plaster, drywall, wood, and brick. Great at blocking stains, it also has excellent adhesion, and is mildew resistant with a very mild odor. KILZ 2\u00ae<\/sup> All-Purpose Primer<\/a> helps lessen the number of coats of paint required\u2014a perfect solution for making over your family room quickly and professionally with minimal disruption to your life.<\/p>\n

Once primed and dried, we got to work painting our accent walls and cubbies with BEHR\u00ae<\/sup> Interior Paint in Carbon N520-7<\/a>. We also added this color to the inner window framing, to add a bit of depth, and to the beams across the ceiling to further complete the farmhouse look.<\/p>\n

For contrast, we used BEHR\u00ae Interior Paint in two shades of white to brighten up the rest of the space. For the walls, we chose \u00a0Shoelace OR-W13<\/a>, and Ultra Pure White<\/a>\u00ae<\/sup> for the trim and ceiling. The dark accents work to draw focus to the back wall\u2014housing the fireplace and TV\u2014and allowed us to situate the furniture in a way that creates a natural gathering space inside the room. From here, it was time to get creative and have fun with the d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

Choosing a neutral color palette was an easy decision because it worked well with the existing brick detail and created an added layer of warmth. We wanted the room to feel relaxed and cozy, yet modern and sophisticated, which our beige couch and area rug help achieve. We brightened up the cubbies with a few wicker baskets, ceramic bowls, and vases, and sprinkled in a bit of greenery around the room. Our wooden coffee table pulls focus to the room\u2019s center, while hints of blue and gray in the pillows and throw help to create a finished farmhouse look.<\/p>\n

\"Wide<\/p>\n

As always, we hope you find this room transformation inspiring. It\u2019s easy to start any project\u2014big or small\u2014 with the help of any KILZ\u00ae <\/sup><\/a>\u00a0Primer. Whether you choose to embark on this project with friends or family, or go at it alone, once completed, your beautiful, new family room will reward you with memories for years to come. With a bit of time and effort, it\u2019s easy to give your loved ones the gift of togetherness this year.<\/p>\n
