(3 min read)<\/strong> We\u2019ve already determined that this year is all about comfort. It seems as if all of the design styles out there are slightly changing to accommodate that. Industrial is getting some softer fabrics, traditional is putting on some more colorful makeup, rustic is getting a facelift with some rounder lines, and minimalism is on life support (as it should be).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Interior_Design,<\/a>
The perfect family room should be a mash of personalities of all of your family members.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

In all that quiet hustle, with Lana singing about Judah Smit in the background, living rooms are coming to terms with the ever-growing popularity of family rooms. It\u2019s tough for them, you have to understand. They\u2019ve ruled the kingdom of home design for ages, just to be replaced with a fresh-faced, curvier model. Not to mention they look so alike\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Interior_Design,<\/a>
A living room has a more formal setting to it. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

All jokes aside, people often think that living rooms and family rooms are pretty much the same room, which is simply not true. Living rooms are more formal by nature, and when guests arrive that is usually where they will chill and relax. Family rooms, on the other side, are exactly that – a place for the family to cozy up. Unlike living rooms, family rooms are more eclectic, showing off the personality of every family member. In the traditional interior design sense, a living room serves as a place for formal entertaining, while a family room is a more comfortable space for everyday gatherings and relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Interior_Design,<\/a>
Your family room should be inviting and comfortable for your whole family. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Considering that family rooms have a casual reputation, they should be designed and decorated with that relaxed mentality in mind. Now let\u2019s chat about some key elements to consider when decorating the family room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Casual Layout<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open floor plan is ideal for a family room. The spacious layout will allow your kids to act like kids, and you and your partner to rest. The bigger the room, the better the vibe. If you don\u2019t have much space in your home, you can always solve that problem with modular furniture, which will allow you flexibility in both layout and use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Interior_Design,<\/a>

\n\n\n\n
\"Interior_Design,<\/a>
If your home isn\u2019t spacious enough make your furniture work for you a small but cozy family corner. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Natural light<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Family rooms nurture a very comfy and inviting vibe, so lots of natural light is always good to go with the narrative. Huge windows with white or wooden frames and soft-toned curtains would be terrific for a family room. This doesn\u2019t mean that if your windows have that industrial, edgy design you can\u2019t have a family room. You can always create a contrast with the rest of your design, or you can add plush drapes to cover them. However, natural light should be there to set the tone for the rest of your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Interior_Design,<\/a>

\"Interior_Design,<\/a>
Lovely colorful curtains and lots of natural light, and voila! You\u2019ve got yourself an awesome space for the whole family to enjoy. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Furniture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We already emphasized the importance of coziness for a family room, and that especially relates to furniture. Furniture doesn\u2019t have to be muted in color. If you are a fan of strong and vibrant colors you should go for that. However, it has to be soft and comfortable. Fluffy-looking sofas, homey recliners, snug ottomans with lots of cushions. The possibilities are endless here, and as long as you feel comfortable you can\u2019t go wrong. For a coffee table, choose a bigger version, so none of your family members feel left out. Go for white color or washed wood, and try to avoid darker tones and glass, because those types of coffee table designs are more suitable for living rooms and parlors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Interior_Design,<\/a>
You don\u2019t need a huge room, but you do need comfy furniture with lots of cushions. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\"Interior_Design,<\/a>
\u00a0Every family room needs a variety of seating options. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Open shelves<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open shelves and maximalism are all the rage this year, and that fits perfectly well for family rooms. The point of open shelves is to hold some necessary items, without overbearing the space. For example, add your current reads there, but not your whole library. Your children\u2019s favorite toys and board games are always a good choice, as well as some family photos and decorative trinkets from your fondest trips and adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget the carpet!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the floor in your living room can be bare, the floor in your family has to have a carpet or a couple of smaller rugs. This will create a warm atmosphere, and your kids will be able to play on the floor. Once again, you should avoid dark colors, but you should also avoid gentle fabrics which are usually easy to stain and damage. Family room should be a place of leisure, so you don\u2019t want to constantly worry about your carpet being clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Interior_Design,<\/a>
Choose your carpet wisely. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\"Interior_Design,<\/a>
Several smaller rugs will also do the trick.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

There isn\u2019t really a unique plan you should follow when creating your family room, but these are some simple basics. Your family room should be exactly that, your own. It should perfectly accommodate all of your family members and show off all of their personalities and quirks. Decorate your family room together and don\u2019t forget to have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
