Creating a kids and adults friendly family living room takes planning and multi-purposeful design. Start with maintenance-easy and durable flooring and furniture materials. For chairs and sofas, use resistant-to-stain materials and rugs with high spill tolerance and durability.
Kid-Friendly Furniture
Use safe and functional kids’ furniture. For chairs and tables, use rounded corners to avoid injuries. Sectional or module sofas enable adaptability and can reorganized according to changing family requirements and growing kids. Inbuilt shelves and bins for book and toy stores enable organized and accessible arrangement, reduces clutters, and ease in cleaning.
Adding a dash of whimsical and functional touches
Use touches that involve kids but at the same time harmonize with your living room theme and decor. Have a specific kids’ zone with soft flooring and a little reading nook for kids to lounge and enjoy reading books. Add a dash of whimsical and vibrant decor items such as wall decal and whimsical artwork to introduce a dash of whimsical but not dominating in a room. Have multi-purposeful furniture with inbuilt stores and multi-purposeful items to maximize function and utility in a small living room environment.
Maintaining comfort and security
Security first when creating a family living room. Ensure your whole furniture is mounted firmly to walls to secure them and use gates and barriers for additional security for kids when creating kids’ safe spaces. For walls and furniture, use non-toxic paint and coatings for a healthy environment for your family. Add cozy and relaxed lounging spaces for kids and adults for everyone to enjoy together in a family living room environment.
Designing a multi-purposeful living room
Design a living room that will evolve with your changing family needs. Add flexible room layouts and movable furniture that can simply reposition when your kids become older and routines change. Add flexible decor and accents that can swap out, remove, and update to mark new stages in your family’s life. With planning for adaptability, your living room will work for your family for years to come.
