HOME BEAUTIFUL DESIGNER ROOMS SERIES II Multi-Purpose Room - Karen Schaeper & Colleen Brun Its 2007 - Your adult children are socially liberated through technology and are looking as though they are never going to fly the coup whilst your pre teens and teenagers have a barrage of friends coming and going and need a space to play their games, check their SMS messages or listen to music. Meanwhile your retired parents who have finally embarked on a long awaited sea change have made it quite clear they intend to spend extended periods with your family from time to time. Along with all this your career is blossoming to the point where work is constantly being brought home and consideration given to the possibility of a home based business. You are quite happy in your ample sized home in an idyllic location but need a space solution to accommodate everybody's needs. The answer……….. - The Multi-Purpose Room - Function and form come together in this Multi-Purpose Room which incorporates work, entertainment and relaxation, successfully meeting the needs of today's family. By combining home office; guest bedroom; family room and teenage retreat in the one space other areas of the home become technology free and more relaxed. The use of warm, natural finishes, ample storage and a stimulating colour scheme throughout the room will ensure the home office doesn't have a sterile or corporate feel and creates cohesion between the two areas. The design moves away from the minimalist look and focuses more on comfortable yet practical furnishings, finishes and floor coverings. Natural materials are a key element and energy efficient lighting options have also been included. The citrus palette we saw over summer has been shaded - bright, warm, tantalizing hues of strawberry and tangerine together with the grounded and natural yellow olives and green/browns. The palette satisfies our need for freshness & vitality whilst striking a chord with our increased awareness and connection to the importance of our natural environment.
