What a GREAT room!

Enjoy this guest post from Arcadian Home on a subject dear to a lot of our clients hearts: GREAT ROOMS!

 Hi all! I’m Jennifer and I write for Arcadian Home Decor, a site that chronicles home decor trends around the world. I've been writing about home decor since graduating university and have loved it ever since. I'm addicted to patterned fabrics, Jonathan Adler, chaise lounges, old doors, milk glass jars, antiques, and chandeliers. The reason I'm a fan of DCR Interiors is because they're experts - what's better than perusing inspirational posts with advice straight from professionals? I may not be a professional, but I know a great room when I see one, and I'm excited to share some of them with you here.

Great rooms are multi-functional spaces in a home that are usually occupied by a living room, dining room and kitchen (or other fun zones like game rooms). Spacious and uncluttered, every detail in a great room counts, from the furniture right down to the table decor. Here are eight beautiful great rooms to inspire and impress. Marvelously modest

While this may be a smaller great room, there's no shortage of style and function here -- two back-to-back sitting areas and a bevy of beautiful antiques make this an ideal place to relax, read, entertain, and more. Shabby chic

The high ceilings and antique armoire lend a rustic edge to this space, while the modern light fixtures and wall decor break up all that magnificent white. Inside and out

This great room is especially exceptional, with a completely open-air dining room, comfortable living and dining areas decked out in wicker furniture, and beautiful exposed ceiling beams. Provence panache

A massive stone fireplace takes center stage in this great room, and is surrounded by an eclectic array of chairs and sofas - the adjoining kitchen is also positioned to take full advantage of the roaring hearth. Family-friendly

The layout of this great room is particularly interesting as it gives the illusion of winding through the main floor of this traditional home. However, the horizontal ceiling beams give the space flow and direction. A room with a view

And what a view it is! A seaside Hampton home with mammoth windows captures the impressive sights, while wide archways and an exposed second floor give the entire house an airy feel. Whimsy and charm

With a kitchen just on the other side, this great room opens out onto sprawling hills and brings the beauty of outside in. The circle wall art along with the polka-dot furniture give the space some playfulness. Lovely and lakeside

There's no reason to add any colour to this stark white great room - the dazzling blue lake is awe-inspiring enough! Content provided by Arcadian Home Decor, a site that specializes in top quality home accessories at extremely affordable prices. Come visit us today!
