Greatrooms

Your great room is likely to be your home’s most popular gathering area. It will be the space where you cozy up with loved ones and entertain friends, creating the memories that log home living is all about.

We’ve compiled some of our favorite great room photos for your inspiration. As you browse the gallery, you’ll notice a common thread — each space showcases a few key elements that define a well-designed great room. 

Here are some hallmarks to look for:

• Thoughtful Layout: An open-concept design that seamlessly connects adjacent areas, like the kitchen and dining spaces, encourages interaction, and allows for ease of movement through the shared living spaces. 

• Architectural Details: A cathedral ceiling with an exposed heavy timber purlin roof adds rustic ambiance. 

• Inviting Atmosphere: A stone fireplace that radiates warmth sets the stage for cozy, welcoming interiors that encourage rest and relaxation.  

• Access to the Outdoors: A wall of windows is a popular way to enhance your great room’s indoor-outdoor connection, as is a sliding glass door or pair of French doors that lead to an inviting porch or deck.

Take note of these details to guide the design of your own great room — one that’s sure to be your new favorite place.
