This room certainly didn\u2019t. When homeowner needs and lifestyle changes require a new approach, spaces need to adapt. What we need from our homes now isn\u2019t what we needed in the days of formal entertaining and strict rules of decorum. Adapting older home layouts to more modern living is a special thrill for me. Maybe because, in today\u2019s world of new builds and new everything, these homes cry out for a second chance and often all these character homes need is a bit of creative thinking to bring them in line with current lifestyle habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our homes, like us, have to pivot. No one room or space should be seen as single-purpose. This room was once a bedroom with a dressing area and bathroom. But that wasn\u2019t what this family needed from it.&nbsp; What they wanted was a cozy family spot upstairs close to bedrooms where they could gather for movie nights and Laker games. This is not uncommon in older homes whose downstair\u2019s rooms are larger, harder to heat and too formal for casual hang-outs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"989896\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #989896;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.courtneythomasdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/oh-so-spanish-family-room-design-la-canada-1024x637.jpg\" alt=\"Oh So Spanish Family Room Design La Canada\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-3651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.courtneythomasdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/oh-so-spanish-family-room-design-la-canada-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.courtneythomasdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/oh-so-spanish-family-room-design-la-canada-600x373.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.courtneythomasdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/oh-so-spanish-family-room-design-la-canada-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.courtneythomasdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/oh-so-spanish-family-room-design-la-canada-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.courtneythomasdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/oh-so-spanish-family-room-design-la-canada-1536x956.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.courtneythomasdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/oh-so-spanish-family-room-design-la-canada-620x386.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.courtneythomasdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/oh-so-spanish-family-room-design-la-canada-jpg.webp 1607w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photography: Amy Bartlam<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This room is where this family spends most of their time together.&nbsp; And that dressing room?
