Dream Media Rooms

The sophsticated space has a clever layout with divided areas for serving snacks, watching TV and playing games. Lighting and neutral, monotone colors makes the basement hangout open and bright.

With rich, wood paneled walls, the media room is masculine, yet elegant. The space features lit shelving for displaying treasured keepsakes, a bar for entertaining and comfortable leather seating.

Designer Candice Olson creates a smart his-and-her home office and media room. Along with work stations, the space features a place for meetings with a conference table centered in front of the entertainment center.

HGTV Dream Home 2008 in Islamorada, Fla. features a spacious TV room oasis. The seating area was created with comfortable wicker chairs, perfect for playing video games or watching a movie after a day at the beach.
