Creating a Family Friendly Living Room

Whether you are an expecting parent or you already have children, creating a living room that is family-friendly without sacrificing your home design can sometimes be a challenge. However, with a little planning and some tips from the experts, creating a living room design that is family friendly may not be as hard as you might think. Today, your favorite furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks has a few tips for creating a family-friendly living room!


Get Comfy

Part of having a family typically means lots of relaxing in the living room. Choose living room furniture that will allow the entire family to relax. Comfy sectionals with ottomans, recliners that rock, and oversized chairs are a great way to add style to your living room. You should also think about fabric selection when choosing living room furniture. Going with darker colors is always a good option in case of spills. Materials that are great for kids and pets include microfiber, wool, vinyl, and leather. These materials clean easy and are resistant to spills. 

Cut the Corners

Let's face it, when you have little ones, they are going to fall at some point, and probably a lot. Avoid coffee tables and end tables with corners and go with rounded edges only. Choose rounded coffee tables or ottomans work great too. Ottomans offer style and comfortability for your living room. You can also get ottomans with built-in storage for hiding away toys, blankets or other items.


Baskets Are Your Friend 

Incorporating baskets into your home design is a great way to not only add style but also add storage. You can add baskets to your tv stand, underneath coffee tables, in bookshelves, and more! Baskets come in all sorts of styles and designs and can be purchased to match just about any design, 

Choose Family-Friendly Flooring

Spills will happen. That is just part of it when you have kids. Choose a flooring that will wash easily. Great stain resistant flooring includes tile, wood, laminate, and vinyl. Carpet typically isn't the best choice when you have children. Eldon Furniture recommends vinyl flooring because you can purchase vinyl flooring that looks like beautiful wood flooring but it is waterproof, which is perfect when you are raising a family. Stop by our Eldon Furniture and check out our great selection of flooring at the Lake of the Ozarks.



With a little planning, creating a living room that is both stylish and family-friendly isn't as hard as you might think. Just remember to make it comfortable, maximize your storage, and get rid of sharp corners and the rest is free game.  Be sure to stop by Eldon Furniture to view our selection of home furnishings at the Lake of the Ozarks. You will find everything you need to transform your living room into the perfect space for you and your family to relax in!
