Stylish Sunken Living Rooms

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to incorporate show-stopping features into the design plans of our clients’ homes. Adding one-of-a-kind spaces like these fabulous sunken living rooms brings wow factor and creates a signature look and feel that becomes a calling card for each home. Once a staple of 60’s and 70’s architecture, these living areas are making an elegant comeback through brilliant, cutting-edge design. Construction detailing is vital when integrating this type of structural feature. Planning from the ground up ensures the proper layout and allows for finishing touches that become difference makers in the completed project. As you can see in these gorgeous images, design elements like strategic lighting, beautiful fire features, and custom-crafted furnishings create a unique and seamless result. The additional focus on amplifying natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights gives the feeling of an open-air seating area with the luxury of climate-controlled comfort. Sunken living rooms, also endearingly referred to as “conversation pits,” become a go-to place for gathering and community within a home. Our goal is always to give our clients the most memorable and special places to do life with loved ones. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create your perfect conversation spot with a stylish sunken living room!
