1. Adding frames
One can try as many frames as possible to hang on the wall as these help in reflecting the taste and the age of the occupants in the home. If the family is modern and young, one can try to frame some art works of their children so as to bring those young minds to play as well as giving them a creative freedom, rather than using the walls as their canvas with their crayons. One can also use some good paintings or framing some film posters to bring in that young and trendy look inside the home.
2. Open floor plan
Combining two or three rooms into one is quite an imaginative and artistic way to make the family a close unit. Openness like this helps in bringing everyone in one single zone, where they can mingle and interact with each other, without maintaining any kind of boundary between themselves. But to see that one does not feel separated, the style and the design of the home should not be compromised with and one should try to maintain a perfect coordination with all these rooms. Bringing together the living room, the dining room and the kitchen is a perfect way in creating a sense of togetherness in the family, as the family tends to spend their most time in these rooms throughout the day.
3. Use of the outdoor rugs inside
There exists no hard-and-fast rule that one cannot deploy the outdoor rugs anywhere else other than where they are meant for. In order to bring in a sense of family-friendly atmosphere inside, one should definitely see that everyone is welcome inside the home. From noisy little kids to the muddy paws of a pet, everyone should feel comfortable and safe inside. To bring in that feel, the rug should be tough enough to stand all those wear-and-tear. One can use bamboo rugs as they are not only cheap but easy to maintain and are quite soothing to the eyes.
4. Using durable materials
If the family is young, then the furniture as well as all the other accessories should be quite durable and tough. It should be able to sustain all the emergency-situations that can arise at any time, when there are two or three children in the family, and sometimes when the adults bring on the younger-side to the table. The sofa, ottoman, rugs, lights, accessories etc. should be toughened enough and also the materials should be of young colors so even those who visit the family in their holidays or evening should feel young-at-heart all the time.
