For others, the concept of a great room is wasted space and prevents the use of additional living space being created within the home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Regardless of preference, however, no one denies the beauty and openness of a great room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Great Room Addition Costs<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Great room addition costs vary depending upon the size of the addition, and\/or the features in it. For example, including a stone or brick fireplace in a set of great room addition plans can add dramatically to the costs of the project. Similarly, including <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/wood-flooring-installation-bid-sheet\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">wood floors<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> and\/or plumbing can dramatically increase great room addition costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you want to quickly come up with your own <span style=\"color: #000000;\">great room addition cost estimates<\/span> use this <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/room-addition-bid-sheet\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">room addition bid sheet<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>.

The perfect great room design should be large, as it is supposed to be a great room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It should also be able to serve at least two functions of the standard home. For example, it could serve as the traditional living room and dining room area. Alternatively, you may want it to serve as a living room and den area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Structural Great Room Design Idea #2<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Second, cathedral ceilings or vaulted ceilings are a signature feature in a great room design. Think of the great room in medieval castles. They are expansive with high ceilings. A great room design must include high ceilings to truly qualify as a great room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Structural Great Room Design Idea #3<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The third great room design idea, is to have a floor plan that has it centrally located within the home. A great room is meant to be the common area of the home, and consequently it should be at the center of the home and home activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Structural Great Room Design Idea #4<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Finally, a great room design should include copious amounts of light and preferably natural light. In addition, sufficient electrical lighting should be supplied to maintain the room\u2019s brightness in the evening hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Accent Great Room Design Ideas<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When developing a set of great room plans it is important to think about adding touches of elegance and grandness to the room.

Also, make sure you identify and include all of the necessary outlet connections you need for your home theater system in your great room design plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It is also important to note that great rooms have the tendency to have poor acoustics, so you may want to consider the use of wall fabrics and other types of tapestries to help absorb sounds within the room. A home theater system, for example, may end up reverberating in the great room if sound damping methods are not employed in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Great Room Design Ideas &#8211; Lighting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As I have already noted, it is important to include as much natural lighting in a great room as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The use of sky lights and a wall of windows are excellent great room ideas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition you may want to include spot lighting for over the dining area as well as a large centrally located chandelier for lighting the entire great room.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"49%\">\n<p align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- New_300x250_051317 --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 300px; height: 250px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3988490936633155\" data-ad-slot=\"4202793463\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, the use of wall sconces and track lighting is another excellent great room design idea.
