A home is a place where each and every member of the family spends a substantial part of their lives together. While family time is important, it can also become a little overwhelming if each person doesn't have his or her own space. Whether you use individual bedrooms or just areas within the living room to divide each family member's space, try to create zones where each person can showcase individual style and personality.
This makes our home a huge chunk of our lives. Even as adults when we already live separately and move in different circles, coming home to our family's home is like no other. For our children, the home is a place where they can just be. Hence, it is the perfect place for them to express themselves. A home, even a family house can still be an extension of each family member's personality. Have you ever been to an ancestral home? You might know the feeling of seeing each person's mark on the different spaces in the house.
A singular theme is applicable for a bachelor or bachelorette pad. For a family house however, this mostly doesn't work because of the differences in taste. Some personalize their bedroom and apply a uniform concept for the other rooms in the house. Don't you think though that it's more fun to be diverse and unique for the entire house and not just with your personal space? If it's possible to incorporate bits and pieces of all your interests, then great! Otherwise, you can assign a room or space for every member of the household to decorate as their own. For instance, father and son can decorate the entertainment area; mother and daughter can do the kitchen makeover. If your son likes to hang out in the basement for those after school parties, then allow him the freedom to be creative in renovating that space even if it means psychedelic lightings and rock star posters. He spends much time there anyway. If a family member is an artist, use the entryway as your private museum. Hang the artworks for instant wall decorations. The important thing is to involve everyone in beautifying the home.
What about color for the walls? Repainting is not that easy especially if you have different tastes. Compromise is the key and so are neutral colors. Neutral tones blend well with other colors, so even if you use contrasting colors in your furnishings, a neutral-colored room will still look well-polished.
A house with different themes can still look chic when decorated the right way. Color scheme and suitable sizes and shapes are basic decorating rules we must live by to achieve a balanced look. Make sure that you use colors that go well together, even if they are in contrast. Place the furniture in an area where they fit perfectly. Use the right size for decors and furniture. Place an area rug on the floors as a focal piece or an accent. Either way, an area rug can create a cohesive look in a space no matter what the theme is.
You can apply any decorating technique or all. As long as it works for you, then it's the right one for your home. It should be a home for your family, therefore the things in your house should also be a reflection of your personalities.
