a livingroom which can't find a purpose

[stan4]

Super lame that the pool table can't go in there. A custom made professionally made wood table (ours is in pecan) is just as much a piece of furniture as any other.

We also have a piano in there. Your wife probably wouldn't like that either.

Is that really a rug - it looks like a crime scene.

From a Feng Shui perspective, only keep stuff you love, or that has function or will be actually useful in the very near future. "Everything else MUST GO!"

I assure you it really is a rug imcurious.

The room is too small to literally divide it. Muli function is achieved via furniture groupings, not screens.

Where is the crime-scene rug? I don't see it.

The is the only rug in the pictures http://s8.postimage.org/qkwa4wzr7/IMG_5025.jpg but I always considered it a pretty typical rug and never mistook it for a crime scene.

perhaps the subfloor in the first picture was mistaken for a really dirty rug.

Thanks for the lol!!! Yes, I did mistake the sub-floor for a rug disguised as a crime scene.

Back to your problem: I am a huge proponent of making rooms functional for the way you live - so whatever your hobbies or interests are are what I believe the room should be utilized for, no matter how unconventional.

It could be an office, game room, music room, hobby room . . .you could start a small business and put long tables in it and use it for shipping, etc.

Make it useful and functional . . .

Thanks for reposting the picture. That's a nice rug.

I suspected that's what you thought. The sub-floor does look like a crime scene.

I kind of understand what the OP means. I have a garage full of furniture from my last house, but I haven't been able to pull the trigger on it because when I redecorate, I will use a few pieces, but not sure what yet. I DO need to get rid of a sofa and two chairs, so I'm not sure what's keeping me from that.
I am by no means a horder. I cannot stand excess stuff around me at all. It's more like I haven't found the time to put my mind to it.
