Keep things neutral

Children's furniture, décor, and toys often stick out like a sore thumb in your living space, but fear not! A great way to make everything blend seamlessly is by sticking to a neutral colour scheme. Whether it’s monochrome or warm neutrals, choosing items for your kids that fit into one scheme can help create a cohesive and beautiful kids' zone in your living room.

Neutral doesn’t have to mean boring! You can go bold with eye-catching patterns and still keep things interesting. And don’t worry – we’re not saying you can’t have any colour in your space. Adding a few accent pieces will make your family room much more dynamic and create stylish focal points.

Toy storage ideas

Storage is definitely your best friend when decorating your family room as the more storage you have, you decrease your chances of clutter.

Try to think innovatively with your storage solutions, looking for multifunctional pieces that can save you space like benches that feature toy storage underneath.

Built-in options are also a great way to save space but make sure to consider how you will use the storage before designing. For example, if you are storing kids toys, include low draws so kids can easily access them.

Or take this epic, bespoke storage which utilises low drawers to create a bench seat, perfect to seat small bums and store shoes and clothing.

Kitchen dining family room ideas

Open plan living is perfect for families who want to stay connected even while doing different activities.

By using partition walls, you can create distinct zones without completely cutting off spaces. A stylish partition or half wall, for example, can separate the kitchen from the living area, letting you keep an eye on the kids while you whip up dinner.

Furniture placement is also key in defining areas. Positioning a sofa to face away from the rest of the space, for instance, can carve out a cosy nook for family fun.

And don’t forget colour blocking! Use vibrant, kid-friendly colours to create designated 'kid zones' that are playful and engaging, yet still seamlessly blend with the adult areas. This way, you get a space that’s fun for the little ones and stylish for everyone else.

Plan out your tech

It's very likely that your kids will be dying to include the biggest TV or the latest console in your family living room. If that's the plan, make sure to factor it into your design from the start!

So, how do you fit in a large TV for family movie nights while keeping the space stylish? Well, if you want to create a real cinema effect like the one in this room, then there’s no point in hiding the TV. Instead, embrace it as the focal point and use it to anchor the surrounding furniture. You can make the TV feel sleek and neat by wall mounting it and hiding the wires, giving it a built-in look that feels intentional and stylish.

If you're opting for a smaller TV, frame it with built-in shelving for extra storage or place it in the centre of a gallery wall. This will help it blend in and feel less out of place, making your living room both functional and aesthetically pleasing. 

Our designers always consider the small details that give your home the real wow factor. Start transforming your space for just £395 today:

Utilise awkward spaces

Alcoves and awkward spaces in your home can become perfect kid zones. Take this small spot at the bottom of the stairs that we cleverly turned into a kid's homework and crafts station.

This way, the kids have a perfect space for themselves that doesn't spill into the rest of the home. You can also try filling spots like this with bookcases and a bean bag for a cosy reading corner or fill them with storage for an extra play space.

Add 'adult only zones' into your family home

Instead of focusing solely on adding 'kid zones' to your family space, why not integrate some 'adult zones' too? Because family spaces can be stylish and sophisticated without being all about the kids!

Consider adding a chic little bar area to liven up the room. Place your glasses and alcohol on higher shelves where they become a stylish focal point while keeping them out of reach from tiny hands.

Or transform part of the space into the ultimate adult retreat with a sleek record player or a luxurious bookcase, complemented by a few comfy chairs. This creates a serene escape for adults without completely separating you from the family.

By blending these adult and kid-friendly areas, you’ll have a multifunctional space that works for everyone!

A family friendly garden

Having kids often means waving goodbye to a pristine garden as soon as trampolines and sports gear start making their way onto the Christmas list.

But guess what? You can have a family-friendly garden that’s both functional and stylish!

Think of your garden as an extension of your home. Use zoning principles like tiles, partition walls, and clever planting to create distinct areas. For example, in the garden above, the chic alfresco dining area greets you first, while the basketball hoops blend into the background.

It's all about creating spaces for your kids to feel included, like this outdoor kitchen with ample bench seating. This keeps them entertained while you cook and prevents garden chairs from migrating across the garden and creating extra clean-up after family BBQs.

So, go ahead and design a garden that’s fun for the whole family while keeping that stylish edge!

Our designers will come up with innovative solutions that works for you and your home. Get your tailored space from just £395!

Choosing child-friendly furnishings

At My Bespoke Room, we’re all about crafting stunning spaces that are as liveable as they are beautiful. We often hear clients say, “I’d love my home to look like a magazine cover, but I’m terrified of spills and accidents!” That’s where our designers come in – blending aesthetics with practicality.

When it comes to kid-friendly furniture, we choose materials that stand up to the test of everyday life. Think leather or microfiber, which wipe clean effortlessly. For hard furnishings, we recommend durable woods like oak or maple, which age gracefully and turn scuffs and marks into part of the charm. We also hunt for pieces with removable covers for easy washing.

And for your floors, we always suggest outdoor rugs. They’re not only stylish but also incredibly durable and easy to clean thanks to their water-resistant properties. So, let’s make your home magazine-worthy without sweating the small stuff!

Modular and multifunctional furnishings

Modular furniture is an excellent choice for family homes, offering remarkable adaptability to blend adult and kid zones seamlessly. For instance, modular sofas can easily transition from a conversation-friendly layout for adult gatherings to a cosy configuration perfect for family movie nights. This flexibility ensures that the space remains functional and welcoming for all activities.

Or having pieces that sneak in hidden seating is another great option, creating more seating in your home, making family socialising easier without taking up any extra space.
