Create Casual, Comfortable Family Room Decor

Since the family room is usually at the heart of a welcoming and comfortable home, family room d?cor has to hit just the right note. This is the space where family members gather, friends congregate, and everyone relaxes. Below are some ideas for casual, comfortable family room d?cor.

Stick to Neutrals

Consider keeping the drapes and furniture neutral, this will give the space a tranquil and calming vibe. The brown leather Electric Motion sofa from Futura is a great example of a neutral piece of furniture that will let you create a casual family room. The power reclining option makes it the perfect piece for an evening of relaxation. You can easily change pillows, throws, and other accessories to create a new look whenever you want.

Make a Gallery Wall

When creating casual family room d?cor, you don’t have to stick to one particular style. Feel free to include everything you love in this space. One way to do that is to create a gallery wall of all your favorite photographs, children’s artwork, and vacation pictures. Use similar frames to keep it cohesive.

Lighting

Every family room needs a lamp. Your lighting can be a both fun and practical. It can set the tone for the rest of your family room d?cor. Regardless of the style you choose, keep in mind that your light fixtures should be proportional to the size of the room. And since the family room is a place where many activities occur, make sure you have the right lighting for reading, games, and movies.

Hidden Storage

Large lidded baskets or an ottoman with hidden storage add texture and functionality to the family room. You can hide toys, games, or books to keep the room tidy. Or extra pillows and blankets if your family room doubles as a guestroom. An ottoman can also give you extra seating when needed or serve as a coffee table. The Casual Storage Ottoman also by Futura features an easily accessible storage compartment perfect for keeping items out of site but close at hand.

Add Color

Yes, I mentioned neutral tones for the furniture and curtains, but that doesn’t mean you should exclude color altogether. Adding your favorite colors will imbue the room with your personality and lessen the risk of your neutral room coming down with a case of the blahs. Choose your favorite color and use it to tie the room together. Use these colors on throw pillows, gallery artwork, flowers, and rugs.

Make It Lively

Add some organic materials such as houseplants, flower arrangements, or even a piece of coral or some shells. These items will reinforce our inherent connection to the outdoors.

Keep It Comfortable

Remember, this is the family room we’re talking about, so keep the d?cor causal and comfortable. A few extra pillows, a throw, and a plush, cushy rug are all appropriate for this space. The style and comfort level of the room will set the mood for the time you spend there. Inviting colors, easy organization solutions, and smart furniture choices will give you the right combination of style, function, and comfort in a space the entire family will love.
