Enhance the beauty of the space by selecting lamps and light smartly to make the room feel comfortable and your evenings with family pleasant and romantic.

3. Make the family living room a family-friendly space

Choose porcelain tiles for the floor since it is easy to maintain and simple to clean and then cover it with bright and colourful rug where family can snug together when they are in mood for casual sitting. Keep the sofa large and big and select family’s favourite colour for it. Match the dining table with the living room furniture to bring in uniformity in the integrated space thus making the formal living room into a family living room. Keep the decoration minimalist and attractive to make it a pleasant space to hang around.  

4. Opt for strong and sturdy furniture for family living room

Prepare the room to take on the heavy traffic and for long duration of time and enjoy your time tension-free with strong and sturdy furniture that will remain so for long. Go for leather sofa which could be wiped clean and large centre table which can also be used as informal dining table for the family. Select soft colour for the walls and fix spotlights on the ceiling for delicate lighting. However, you can keep one signature piece of crystal table lamp to add your special touch in the family living room.

5. Create an entertainment zone in family living room

No two persons are same, even if they are family. In a family living room plan and incorporate something to entertain each and every member of the family. TV is one thing that binds all. But then some may be more comfortable to connect with books. Select large sofas and sufficient sitting arrangement to accommodate all.

Keep the colour subtle but don’t forget to tantalize the minimalist décor through vibrant colour in a few furniture pieces or warm colour of light in the room.

7. Integrate the space to make it a family living room

Instead of dividing the space by partition in the middle, separate the area symbolically from above through a beautiful piece of chandelier.
