Few things are more frustrating than having to shuffle around furniture to accommodate different gatherings. That's why, when HGTV designed the media room of the Dream Home, they opted for an extremely flexible layout that would match any purpose.

To this end, the colors of the room were designed to be simple, playful, and elegant. The floors are made of a rich hardwood, and the walls are painted a creamy eggshell color. Instead of using hard-to-move sofas and love seats for the furniture, oversized wicker chairs with soft, comfortable cushions can be arranged in whatever way is most comfortable for your plans: lined up in rows for watching movies, set around the coffee table for socializing, or pushed to the edges of the room for a dance floor.

Speaking of watching movies, a large, 50-inch flat screen television is mounted to the wall, which can easily make the room into a home cinema. A narrow shelf underneath the television softens the look of the wall and also holds artwork for visual effect.

Large glass doors open up onto the outdoor patio and the Florida Bay beyond, so storage room for bright, cheerful beach towels is also provided.

All in all, the media room of the 2008 Dream Home is perfectly designed to match the entertaining needs of any resident.
