GIRL… WHAT’S A KEEPING ROOM?

Well….historically, in pre-18th century homes, the living room had a large wood-burning stove that doubled as a kitchen. The hearth was used for cooking but kept the housemates warm. However, due to this arrangement, guests and children often got in the way of the chef. As a result, the kitchen was eventually separated from the living room and placed in another area of ​​the house. Unfortunately, this meant that children, families, and guests were away from the kitchen. Without the hearth, it was more likely to freeze. Enter the keeping room.

The main goal when decorating a keeping room is to make the space warm, warm, and cozy. Most designers recommend keeping more luxurious furniture for the living room and choosing durable fabrics and easy-to-clean furniture for the keeping room. That way, people can drink and eat without worrying about spilling on furniture.

Reserving space often adds flexibility and additional shared areas to your home, attracting potential buyers. They are often the centerpiece of the home, where kids and guests can get together, keep warm and stay with you while cooking. If you want your guests to come back, a cozy and warm space may be what your home needs, regardless of your style.
