It’s been said that a man’s home is his castle, so why not go big in refreshing it? Going big doesn’t only have to mean big, bulky furniture. There are creative ways to use sizable, multifunctional furniture in large spaces, and incredible ways to add multipurpose spaces in a large room with smaller furniture.
Check out our thoughtful Father’s Day gift guide with options for dads of all types:
1. Go Big on Entertainment
The living room or entertainment area is perfect for adding larger furniture. A sectional makes seating options a breeze, and cupholders and hidden storage for remotes make it easier to stay put. If dad is big on sports and movies, consider gifting him a larger Samsung TV to enhance the experience.
Larger ottomans are also perfect for multipurpose use. They can easily be turned into a table or magazine stand.
2. Smaller Options with Big Purpose
Did you know that it’s possible to give dad a few multipurpose options within one large space?
Placing a sofa bar table behind a sofa or sectional is a perfect way to maximize seating options in addition to giving dad a unique dining and entertainment space, adding more function to his favorite room.
Adding a French Country Kitchen Island can also give creative, multipurpose use in a larger room or kitchen. Islands offer seating options as well as helpful storage options for accessories, décor, and dishes to keep dad organized.
3. Father's Day Wall Art
Large walls or wide gaps can be filled with appealing wall décor.
This Wood Wall Clock is amazing at adding rustic charm. The roman numerals and metal hands give an appealing industrial feel to the room. Abtract or metal wall art can also be used to add a special dad touch to his favorite space.
