When it comes to decorating a space for your whole family you want to make sure you’ve made it into a place that is comfortable and cozy for everyone!

Make your family room a place where your friends and family will want to hang out as well! Check out some of our interior design tips for your family room below.

This room should be family friendly! If you have an heirloom vase you would be devastated to see broken, your family room might not be the place to display it. Think durable fabrics and slipcovers where you can use them, StainMaster carpet, and comfortable seating. This should be a room your kids can enjoy themselves in without worrying too much about ruining anything.

If you have hardwood or tile floors, make your room more inviting by putting down a soft rug. Having a rug warm up the room is great for toddling babies, roughhousing kids, lounging teenagers, and relaxing adults alike.
