Family-Centered Interior Design Ideas

In our family, I'm the "take-charge doer and manager" and my husband is the "planner and plan approver", if that makes any sense.

We moved into our home about six months ago, and sadly, we STILL have many bare walls and interior design plans that are merely in the plan stage, and have not come to fruition. So this last weekend, hubs and I did a "divide and conquer" approach to get some of these plans out of the plan stage and into the action phase!

Decorating your home around your family

Hubs took Lil' H and headed to a few of our favorite design/craft stores for some things for our playroom and half bathroom. Our playroom is 20x18 and had ONE thing on the wall! Embarrassing, I know. Here's how his family-centered interior design panned out:

This is my blogging space, in the playroom. {For any of my bloggers + moms, this is the ideal set up!} The banner was from Mother's Day and oddly fits the sign perfectly and the colors match what I already had going on in my little corner. How perfect is that?!

An office or blogging space in the playroom is perfect for SAHM's!

He got this for future storage (currently hung much higher than little toddler hands can reach into) and the playroom rules canvas was our lonely item already in place.

Wall decor ideas for playrooms or nurseries

In the half bath, he got more wire contraptions (not a big fan of this one, but I do like the blue one in the playroom!) He even picked out the nick-knacks (that's how spell check told me to spell it - looks wrong to me! Anyone help me here? Is that right?!) that are on the shelves. The man picked out a bird and mason jars, y'all.

Half bath or small bathroom decor ideas

Then he got this to display more pics of our family. He even went and got the photos printed! I can't wait to make some room to add Otto to the mix.

What did I do while I handed the steering wheel of interior design and family-centered decor over to my husband and toddler? I met with our contractor, interior designers and showroom sales folks to schedule our master bathroom demolition! I designed our custom-built vanities, purchased a toilet, soaker tub and a few slabs of an eco-friendly recycled material for our upcoming brand new master bath. Construction starts this week and if everything stays on track, we should be riddin' pretty in our spa-like bath before the end of September. #fingerscrossed

How do you decorate your home? Do you incorporate any family-centered interior design or decor to make it feel more "homey"?

  1. Oh my gosh! I love how you sent Kirk and H to go get decor items. They did such a great job. I actually really love the wire hanger in the bathroom.

    Our apartment is definitely "family" centered. I worry sometimes that it makes us look narcissistic because there are photos of the two of us everywhere, but you know what--this is our family right now! We'll add-to and replace once our family grows. :)

  4. i totally always thought it was knick knack. that nick knack looks weird.
    we have been in our house 2 years and there are still many, many blank walls hahaha. i love to plan and dream of things but then when it comes to spending money on things like that, i always think 'do i really need it? what could i buy instead?' and always end up buying something random like a pair of shoes instead of decor. we do have a lot of pictures around our house though, i love pictures!

It can draw out and showcase other design elements like color, furnishings, art, architectural features and varied material surfaces and textures. It can also overpower and "wash-out" those design choices so that they virtually disappear.moon lamps
