What can you do with a small living room? Most homeowners consider knocking down the walls or replacing old furniture pieces. You can also think about turning a part of a different place, like your kitchen, dining, or maybe even your lanai, into a second living area.
For example, since homeowner Niña Kristine Lee's living area was far too small for her, her parents, sister, niece, and nephews, she thought that they could use the lanai instead. In line with this thought, design consultant Grace Moslares of Magara Designs stepped in to create the perfect space for Niña and her family.
Here are 4 things we can learn from this lanai makeover:
