Your family entertainment room should epitomise you family’s individuality. There are no specific “dos” and “don’ts” when it comes to customising this room, so take as much creative license as you like!

Having an amazing family entertainment room is a great way to help your family bond, as everyone will gravitate to this unique living space.

Here are 5 tips to help you create an inspired family entertainment room:


#1 Decide On Your Budget

It’s easy to get overexcited by the many unique fit-out options available when transforming your family entertainment room and spend too much. Don’t over extend your finances in the pursuit of the perfect room design, allocate an affordable budget before you set your mind to create!


#2 Assess Your Family’s Social/Entertainment Interests

Whether your family members are into gaming, music, movies or sports, your family entertainment room should combine everyone’s interests, if it is going to be used regularly.

For families with a wide range of interests, you can still keep everyone happy without having to spend too excessively. An example of this is integrating a high quality home theatre system with PC based gaming, so family members can watch movies and sports, as well as having fun gaming.

You can also incorporate additional equipment into your family entertainment room, to create a new interest. If your family isn’t that active, a ping pong table is a lot of fun, and also fantastic for fitness!


#3 Innovate Don’t Imitate

Don’t let other family entertainment room designs limit your ideas on how your room should look. While it’s a good idea not have too much clutter, your room can have anything from a foosball machine to an art station with an easel, depending on the interests of those who will be using it.


#4 A Neutral Palette Goes A Long Way

While personalising your family entertainment room is essential to ensure all of your family members feel at home, it is good to start with a neutral palette, both in the paint and carpet you choose. You can add art, plants, electronic equipment and a wide range of other accessories to the room to personalise and brighten it up. Choosing a neutral palette allows you to change the room design simply and easily, as your family grows up and your lifestyle and interests change.


# 5 Get The Family Involved
