Family Rooms
Family Rooms: a very convenient room in today's homes
What's a Family Room and what does it look like in our Sterling Home?
Useful to know: Did you know? In a hotel, typically a "family room" means children are allowed to sleep there with their parents.
Family Rooms have become one of the most important areas of today's homes, only enhanced by the pandemic challenges of staying home more, longer and comfortably only with close family members.
Families at home during pandemic
Stories of binge show streaming are common and the best place to do so, is the family room!
Its importance has only become greater, but it was already a critical area for many families already, as the informal center of family activities & recreation, like watching TV, listening (or playing) to music, talking, reading and so on.
Difference family room - living room
A more formal living room is very different; it's often reserved only for special occasions and guests, and for that reason usually located at the front of the house and near the main entrance, to welcome guests straight into the more stylish room, in parallel and possibly in connection to the formal dining room. A family room, instead, is more conveniently located at the back of the house and near the kitchen.
Family rooms tend to be the largest, the busiest and most used rooms aside from the kitchen and the real center of gravity for all family members.
Intense use and versatility
The intense use of many family members requires a space that is extremely versatile and that must cover many different uses, from TV room, to gaming, playing with toys, simple hanging out and for casual meals and snacks. It can also be used as school room, in these times of widespread remote learning, but also crafts and, generally speaking, just the place to be when family members want to hang out together.
Kitchens and Family Rooms
While kitchens are often used for the same purpose, the presence of the typical extra comfortable couch clearly defines the difference between between an entertaining kitchen and an easy family room, with chairs and stools compared to a reclining sectional sofa.
The proximity to a kitchen also allows parents busy in the home to monitor family activities in the family room.
Furnishings in Family Rooms
Furnishings, aside from the strongly attractive soft couch, include sturdy furniture and tables for informal eating, for drinks, TVs and other media for entertainment, gaming equipment, toys, books, and much more, as the purposes can be many and very dependent on the family's inclinations, rather than any design standard.
The typical use for traditional gift exchanging and unwrapping, explains how the family room is usually the most decorated for the season and where decoration enthusiasts can go overboard without restraint that must be exhibited in more formal areas of the home. Decorations in living rooms and dining rooms should be more of an accent than a mood inducing environment. While in other practical areas of the home like offices and work areas, decorations can be more of a nuisance, in the family room they are part of it and feature regularly throughout the seasons.
For sure, when designing, building, furnishing and decorating a family room, it's necessary to consider the intense use of the room so, for instance, floors must be wear resistant, electrical outlets must be plentiful, lighting has to be practical, TVs and other media outlets must be large and wi-fi must have good signal!
In poorly planned family rooms, it's sometimes possible to see the signs of activity on budget flooring and, given the nuisance and cost of a replacement, the purpose of serving as a family room is definitely something that should be planned ahead.
Family Room and Exterior
Another typical feature of a family room is that, as a back room, it often opens to the backyard or a deck, allowing the family activities to expand into the open as the season allows, including BBQ nights and hanging out basking in the sun or around a fire-pit.

Did you know? In the United Kingdom : a room in a pub where children are allowed
While, to the side, the beautiful deck blessed by the sun for most of the day is directly accessible, the view over the meticulously maintained backyard needs to be seen and is pure entertainment in itself thanks to the wide and far field of view possible.
Golf Course
The established golf course guarantees that the views will stay and will not be obstructed by tall and thick tree-land or by new building projects granting to this family room possibilities that many may not have, but the concept of a room where many or most family members spend a lot of time, stays the same as other modern family rooms.
Views and extreme flexibility of a space which is informal, but also very attractive and prestigious, are certainly the main obvious features of the Sterling home family room, the way its' tied into the amazing flow of this home shouldn't go unnoticed. It's so easy to move continuously through the rooms and areas as it's rarely seen. The floor plan of this home could certainly described as “dynamic”, as opposed to homes which are designed with many interior dead-ends which make moving around awkward and even unpleasant.
This room strongly contributes to making the home stand out on the market of high end homes in the county and beyond, but only a visit in person can really give it justice.
