Hanging at Home

In the winter months we spend more time hangin' at home. Make your family room or basement fun and functional.



1. Make an impact. Organization and a few baskets will help make your area less cluttered and more functional.

2. Clear clutter with storage solutions
. Usually family games and DVDs need organizing. The sturdy shelves are the perfect solution. They hold a TV. Baskets or bins on lower shelves store TV remotes, controllers, games, and DVDs. The central bookcase, under the flat-screen TV in the middle, grounds the space.

3. Use neutral colors to balance bright white walls. Paint the back wall in the media area a dark beige. This contrast makes it feel cozy. White expands a space, but there can be too much of it. A slightly darker beige on one or two walls helps warm things up.

4. Use fashionable accents to reinforce the cozy feeling
. Accent lighting and an area rug are flexible and attractive accessories in this space. Longaberger also has featured multiple and varied wall art on sale in January to add your own special touch to this expression of YOUR lifestyle, as well as candles and accessories.

5. Bring the Look Together
With a neutral color palette and easy storage solutions, turn your basement or family room into the ultimate hangout for neighborhood kids. Check out these products for inspiration on your own family room or basement makeover: www.longaberger.com/kathydahm
