Great Room
The challenge in this two-story great room was making the space feel cozy. To add an inviting nature to the 25-foot-tall space, the builder added tongue-and-groove wood panels to the beamed ceiling. The full-height draperies, easy-on-the-eyes wall color and majestic fireplace fashioned with DC Ranch stone, in addition to the cantera stone surround and mantel, add more warmth—literally.

Word to the Wise:
“Make a large, cavernous room feel cozier by adding a lot of fabric to overly tall windows. This brings your eye upward and gives a layer of softness.”
