It is not the same to live as a couple or in a home where there are only adults than in a home where there are also children (and pets). When decorating the home, all aspects must be taken into account so that it is comfortable not only for adults, but also for children. For quiet homes, it is necessary that the rooms work for the whole family. You must take into account all the changes that you will have to make in style, design and practicality so that your living room can assure all members of the family that it is a cozy space to relax.
The living room or living room is the most cheerful area of the house, so you have to make sure that you provide enough capacity for the whole family, and also have extra space in case you ever have guests at home and that they can feel comfortable and welcomed in your home.
Space and comfort are necessary
If you do not have space for additional chairs, you can think about adding poufs, cushions, stools or other options that can help you have enough space. You can have folding chairs for the guests and a sofa with armchairs that accommodate the whole family so that you can all be together sitting on the sofa whenever you want to spend time together.
Above all, your living room should offer comfort to the whole family. SIf the room feels cold, it will be necessary to use soft textures to get a good feeling. For example, you can choose a rug to transform a room and give it more warmth ... you will be decorating the living room and at the same time making it much more welcoming.
Decoration also counts
The decoration of the family room is also very important, so do not hesitate to choose beautiful cushions for the sofas and that when you want to see a movie you are all snuggled up and very comfortable. Don't think about using sofas or armchairs that are too far apartIn a family, what must be strengthened is the bond and family union, and one way to do this is by spending more time together. Wool and linen are also good materials to decorate with fabrics in the living room and achieve that cozy effect that all families are looking for.
If you have small children, it will be necessary for the decorative objects that you have and that may be delicate or fragile to keep them until they are older.. Children like to play and explore their environment and their home much more, so if you do not want to lose things because they break and you do not want to be overly disturbed, then the best thing is that things that may be fragile keep them for within a time.
Family decoration must be taken into account so that children know how important they are to the family nucleusr. For this reason, in the decoration of the family room, there will be no shortage of family photographs, of the children, of the extended family, pictures with the children's drawings, a place to put their school work or their crafts for Mother's Day and from the father… Everything is important for decoration and when children are growing up, this decoration is much more important and valuable than any expensive work of art.
Everyone has their place (pets too)
In the home with children in the room, everyone should have their own place. If you have pets, they should also have their place in this common room.
For example, children can have a play area inside your room so they know they have a place to play (but not in the rest of the room). This play area may be limited by a rug, it may have a drawing board and a kid-friendly storage area so they can store all their toys and games when they are done playing with them. Children can also have seats at their height and even a children's table in the room so that when they want to paint or do a craft they do so at this table and not at the adult table.
The carpet that children have for their play area must be made of a resistant material and it takes time to wear out from continued use. It is also necessary that it can be washable to be able to deal with possible spills and stains that children can make on the carpet every day.
Pets will also need to have their place to prevent them from climbing onto sofas to sleep or snuggle. In order for them to know where they are, you need to provide them with comfortable beds next to the sofa so that they can be close to you but without having to climb directly onto the bed. This way you will avoid filling the sofa with hairs or unwanted stains.
Have controlled storage
If you are a large family, it is important to take into account the order and storage systems. When there are many people in the room and part of these people are children, disorder can be guaranteed. So, you need to think about a large storage capacity, so make sure everyone in your family has an assigned closet, drawer, or place to store and hide books, games, or toys inside.
What is necessary when thinking about how to design, order and decorate a family room, is that the comfort, the warmth of the decoration and the practicality of each of its elements can be taken into account. What's more, if in the living room you add a place to eat as a family dining room it will also be a great idea, although the living room must have somewhat larger measures to ensure that the space is well distributed. Do you already know how you want your family room to be so that everyone is comfortable and well received? You all have a place and you can enjoy family time!
