Upholster Everything
Okay, well, you don't have to upholster literally everything, but if you have little kids running around, the softer your anchor items the better. A fabric-covered ottoman with a tray on top, for example, is much more family-friendly than a glass coffee table (and did you know? You can even upholster walls!). It can be kid-proof and upscale if you use a mix of classic and playful prints, traditional pieces, and unexpected colors. This polished space by Nick Olsen is a great example.

Use Club Chairs

How to decorate a basement family room
Some of the family rooms on the basement floor have windows, while others do not. However, in any case, natural light is important, so your decoration should take this into account if you are going to create a pleasant meeting place.

To start, you'll probably want to choose a light neutral color for the walls and floor (and ceiling while we're at it), just to make the space seem well lit. Unless the main function of your basement family room is watching movies or TV shows, you might be looking at deeper tones. A comfortable sofa with a clean lining also helps create a cozy aura in the room.

If you're lucky enough to have decent windows in your basement family room, leave them open, or at least open most of the time to allow maximum light in.

How to Decorate a Modern Family Room
When you consider the purpose of a family room—to relax and enjoy doing things together that you enjoy doing together—it will help you design and decorate the room itself.

Photos, paintings, mirrors, clocks
Another way to beautifully decorate a room to create coziness is photos, paintings, mirrors and clocks. Previously, you could see black and white family photos on the walls, because they look very hospitable and cozy. To achieve complete harmony, you need to combine different photos, experiment with their sizes and the color scheme of the frames, because pictures that are the same in size look completely inharmonious, boring and unattractive in one row.
There are many options for the location of photos and paintings, depending on their size. Can be around one large picture to arrange many small ones. Also on the wall hang just one, but a large picture. It all depends on imagination and desires of the owner of the house. Moreover, when choosing a design, it is worth considering the atmosphere. the room they will be in. For example, the bedroom will be beautiful look romantic photos, common ones are more suitable for the living room family, and for children - cheerful, cheerful photos. Also, as room decorations should use panels, but it is worth remembering that they are better hang at eye level.
Mirror also considered a good option for decorating a room. The effect of warmth and comfort in the room is created provided that the mirror is hung so that it reflects photographs, paintings or panel. For mirrors, you should choose an interesting frame or make it independently, for example, using wooden clothespins, acrylic paints and varnish.
How to decorate a house with appliqués
The easiest, simplest and most original way to decorate a wall in a room is a pattern on the walls made from the remnants of wallpaper and stickers, that is, an appliqué. Using this method, you can create any pattern and pattern, as well as beautiful inscriptions by drawing them on a computer and carefully sticking them on the wall. But it is worth remembering that bright applications are suitable for children's rooms, and in other rooms you can use pastel colors. If you do not pick up contrasting wallpapers for the application, then the pattern may not be noticeable enough. Using this type of wall decoration, you can not only slightly change the look of the room, but also radically transform the interior of the room.
Embroidery, textiles, pillows
Another way to decorate a room with your own hands is embroidery. If you love and know how to embroider, then this will be very easy to do. With the help of embroidery, you can enliven the interior of the room and make it more harmonious, giving completeness. The location of the embroidered paintings depends only on the individual taste and desires of the owner of the house.

Color, fabric, cushion pattern depends on the desired effect and the interior of the room. For the best result it is advisable to experiment, but, of course, do not forget about the style of your rooms.
Paper decoration ideas
Not only pillows or paintings can decorate a room. There is an affordable and easy way: use paper. What options?
- Home decoration with gift paper. Cut wrapping pieces and place them in frames or use a roll by sticking a long strip on the wall.
- Bulky paper decorations. This type of creativity even has its own name - paper plastic. Flowers, butterflies, spirals are cut out of thick paper, bending the edges as needed. Romantic application is ready.
- Tissue paper pompoms (silence). Ten sheets are superimposed on each other, bending with an "accordion". In the middle, the workpiece is tied with a cord or fishing line. The edges are carefully unfolded, and an original decor is obtained: the pompom can be hung from the ceiling or on the wall.
- Origami. Colored or crisp white, these Japanese appliqués will decorate the walls of a living room or children's room.
Paper home decoration is an easy way to make a change in the interior. It will also serve as an excellent temporary solution, hiding a stain or dent on the wall, imperfection of the furniture.
Curtains for home decoration
Curtains play an important role in the interior of a room. Their change often drastically changes the look of the room. Now there is a huge selection of curtains for every taste, because their choice will not be a big problem, but will significantly help in changing the interior. When choosing curtains, it is worth remembering that they should be several tones brighter than the walls of the room. Also, do not forget about the retainers for curtains, which should fit the overall interior of the room.
Decorating a room with shelves
A functional and aesthetic way to decorate your home with your own hands is to use shelves. How to do it?
- Hang an open rack, framing it with a beautiful baguette (an example of an idea is in the photo).
- Paint the back of the shelving unit a bright color that contrasts with the walls.
- Attach ordinary bookshelves by putting them into a word on the wall. Better if they are in color.
- Make compact shelves of non-standard shape (triangular, with polyhedral cells, in the form of crosses). Even if the decorative function of such items will prevail over the practical.
Do not forget two rules: for the shelves to really decorate the house, they must contrast with the wall, and the objects on them must be arranged harmoniously, without chaos.
Lighting
Lighting is a great way to decorate a room and plays one of the most important roles in decorating. Just changing the lighting will help to achieve huge results in decoration. After all, it is a large amount of light that is a frequent technique used by designers. Lots of natural soft light in your bedroom or living room will help you relax, while a cool color in your office will help you concentrate.
Plants, flowers
It is known that flowers and plants are not only the main source of oxygen, but also a beautiful and modern decoration for the room. With the help of plants, you can refresh the room, make the interior more natural and natural. But you need to use flowers in moderation and try not to overdo it, otherwise the room will look like a greenhouse. Flowers are chosen depending on the color and size of the plant. But it is worth remembering that plant species are selected not only depending on your taste, but also depending on the conditions needed by certain types of flowers. Some like a lot of moisture, others a lot of sunlight or shade, so this feature should also be taken into account.
DIY crafts
There are many ideas on the Internet to decorate a room with your own hands by creating a variety of crafts. Here are a few of them.
Circle painting
A very easy way to decorate a room with your own hands is a bubble painting. To create it, we only need a tablet, scissors, a large brush, matte decoupage glue, white acrylic paint and papyrus paper of the desired colors. First you need to paint the tablet with a layer of white paint and dry, then cut out circles of different sizes from papyrus paper and distribute them on the tablet according to your tastes. Next, glue the circles and gently smooth them with a brush. The bubble painting is ready. Also, instead of circles, you can use completely different shapes to your taste.
Images from Instagram
Use a brush and glue to stick photos from Instagram on a square tablet, after printing them out and cutting them out. It is worth considering the size of photos and a tablet. For 9 10x10 photos to fit perfectly, the base should be 30x30. You can also do without cardboard by sticking images directly on the wall using double-sided tape. The idea for decorating the room is ready.
Topographic threads
This way of decorating a room requires accuracy and patience.
