Family room

  • Designing for family bonding

    Open plan living areas have become part of our daily life. However, a thoughtless design can hinger the quality time you wish to share with your loved ones leaving you frustrated and uninspired. Here are 4 design tips we can help you with to harness bonding time between your family and friends so you can you foster deeper connections.

    Open layout for interaction:
    We design open layouts that promotes easy flow, unabstracted communication and good interaction among family members. Arranging seating in a way that brings everyone together, making space for family time doing what you love most, creating a conducive environment for conversations and creating storage for your everyday needs will all promote a healthier, harmonious and togetherness you crave for.

    Comfortable and versatile seating:
    Choosing comfortable and versatile seating options like sectional sofas, cosy armchairs, pouffes and more will give a range of choice for the different moods you and your family will experience in your open plan living. After all, this is the space you’ll spend most of your time in so it’s important to accommodate for all times of the day and night. We also ensure you have additional seating that’s welcoming and comfortable for your guests so everyone can feel right at home.

    Tech-free zones for quality time:
    Designated tech-free zones within the living room to encourage quality time without distractions is also something we get requested. We can create cosy reading corners or board game areas where phones and screens are set aside so you can all be present to enjoy your precious days together.

    Interactive entertainment:
    Integrating interactive elements such as a media centre for your family movie nights or space to play your collection of records is something we take into consideration when designing if you enjoy these. We ask you how frequently you want to use these and a few other questions to understand how central to the design these elements need to be. We make sure that the entertainment setup engages everyone in a comfortable way.

     

    By incorporating these design elements, an open plan living room can become the centre of your family life for sharing special moments, experiences, conversations, and bonding. It’s a space where your family will come together to relax, play, and connect, fostering stronger relationships and create memories.

  • Designing multifunctional spaces for families to balance work and life at home

    Given that work-life balance has become an integral part of our lives in recent years, it is fair to say our homes have a harder job to do in supporting us balance seamlessly whilst providing comfort. 

    Here’s how we create versatile and multipurpose rooms that cater to both work and relaxation, addressing the needs of working families.

    Efficiency in space utilisation: With demanding careers and busy family schedules, everyone needs spaces that can effectively transition between work and personal time with your loved ones. A well-designed multifunctional room optimises every part of the space, ensuring that both work-related tasks and family activities can coexist harmoniously whenever you switch between the two. 

    Maximising productivity: With a somewhat blurred line between working from home and living at home, we now require a dedicated workspace that fosters concentration and productivity. A thoughtfully designed multipurpose room ensures a dedicated area for focused work that’s equipped with the right furniture, storage and lighting to set the work tone, so your efficiency and environment aren’t compromised. 

    Flexible work-life balance: Between juggling meetings, deadlines, and family commitments, you need a thought-through space that can transform to suit your day, evening and weekend needs. A versatile design will allow this to switch from a professional setting for video calls to a cosy atmosphere for spending quality time with family, all within the same room.

    Stress reduction: A carefully crafted design will support a multipurpose room in reducing stress and forging a clear separation between work and relaxation. Having designated zones within the same space will help you mentally shift gears, allowing you to unwind after a demanding day without the constant reminder of pending tasks. 

    Enhancing family togetherness: When you cherish quality time with family, it’s important to get the multifunctional room just right. This can be done by accommodating individual and shared activity needs. Whether it’s a place to read, practice hobbies, or engage in family games, a well-designed space promotes bonding time and enriches the memories you create. The key to designing successful multipurpose spaces lies in understanding your unique needs, the lifestyle you wish to forge and creating an environment that seamlessly supports this, enabling you to balance work, family, and relaxation effortlessly.
