hether you are entertaining friends, hosting family, or just relaxing with loved ones at the end of the day, incorporating modern entertainment options into your log, timber frame or hybrid home design will allow you to maximize your home’s potential. Here are some great interior design ideas to help you create welcoming indoor entertainment areas.
Dining and Meal Prep The kitchen is the heart of the home for most homeowners – it’s where family members congregate over a cup of coffee in the morning, grab a quick snack before heading outdoors, or where friends and family inevitably gravitate toward during parties and celebrations. A casual kitchen island with overhead task lighting and barstools encourages conversations with the chef while they’re whipping up meals. For more festive holiday dining and entertaining, a chandelier-illuminated formal dining area is a must.

The Sound of Music Whether you are a musician or just enjoy listening to music, a dedicated space for music appreciation in your new log, timber frame or hybrid home will be welcomed by the whole family. For example, what pianist wouldn’t enjoy hitting the keys on their baby grand while surrounded by beautiful scenery from a bank of windows? Audiophile fans will enjoy having their own room to pick a tune on their guitar or listening to their favorite playlist in surround-sound.
Games, Games, Games A game room is the perfect entertainment area to enjoy everything from video games to billiards. The entire family will find something fun to do when you include a jukebox, billiard table, dart board or indoor hoops. While a pool table might be the center of attention, a state-of-the-art gaming system, audio system and large screen TV will be required tech for a man cave.
