Family Room of the Day
What happens here: A young family lounges, watches TV, keeps the nearby cook company, plays games, reads, naps, gathers
Location: Darien, Connecticut
Size: 360 square feet (33 square meters)

Adding the new family room with its high ceilings, windows, transoms and French doors made the existing kitchen feel more open and bright. Interior designer Kathy Hodge created both spaces together, and began with a deep navy blue island in the kitchen. Then she tied the rooms together by using the same paint color on the family room trim work. She also used wide-plank walnut floors, which are consistent throughout the home. These moves make the new family room fit right in with the rest of the house.

Island color: Hale Navy, Benjamin Moore; wall color: DKC 16, Donald Kaufman; pendant lights: Biddeford clear globe; stools: Onda, Stua
