Making memories with your family is what life is all about. But between work, school, errands, and appointments, it can be hard to find room for family time in your busy schedule. And even when you have a chance to relax together, it’s not always easy convincing everyone to cooperate.
The good news is that with a little bit of strategy, you can create the perfect space for gathering with everybody in your family. Here are some simple ways that you can add more family time into your routine with help from Watson’s.
Revamp Your Living Room
Your living room is the center of socialization, entertainment, and relaxation in your home. But creating a living room that satisfies everybody in the family can be a challenge. After all, you’ll need to make a space that accommodates different ages and energy levels. You might want to cozy up with a good book on your sectional sofa, but your kids may have other ideas.
A living room can be the most versatile room of the house. You don’t have to completely commit to one purpose for the space, as you would with a dining room or laundry room. You can incorporate different types of functional furniture like ottomans to adapt to the needs of your family. The ottoman you use to kick your feet up today can be an impromptu serving table tomorrow.
No matter how you style your living room, the most important thing is to make sure that everybody has a comfortable place to sit! You should have enough seating for every member of your family, plus an extra seat or two for guests. If you’re looking to spend more family time together, try upgrading your sofas, recliners, or loveseats. The more comfortable your living room is, the more time family will want to spend there.
Make Movie Night Every Night
A great home theater can bring the whole family together. Your movie nights might be a blast already, but with stylish home theater seating made with quality materials, you can have a deluxe cinema experience any night of the week without leaving the house.
Kick back in your own home theater group recliners with everyone you love. You can enjoy your favorite snacks and beverages just like you’re at the movies, without those wild concession stand prices. And no matter if you prefer fine leather or woven fabric, you can choose the best material for you.
Even reclusive teens can’t resist the allure of plush home theater seating. Your home theater just might be the excuse they need to come out of their room and spend time with you.
Play Together, Stay Together
Nothing brings family together like a little friendly competition. If your family is the playful type, having a fully stocked rec room is a great excuse for some interactive fun.
You can bond over the classics like air hockey, billiards, and foosball. You can hold your own family poker tournament with poker and game tables. Or you can introduce a new generation to classic video games with full-sized arcade machines and countertop arcade cabinets.
Gather Around the Fire
Whether it’s a hot summer evening or a frigid winter night, everyone loves gathering around a roaring fire. If you’re looking to make the most of your backyard while spending more quality time with the family, a fire pit is a great choice.
You can find a wide variety of fire pits to suit your style, from circular to square and traditional to modern. A smokeless fire pit gives your family the chance to chat, laugh, and even roast a few marshmallows without annoying fumes blowing in everyone’s face.
Enjoy the Outdoors
If you aren’t the type to sit around the fire but still want to spend more time outdoors with your family, maybe it’s time for some new patio furniture. A patio set is the perfect way to enjoy your backyard in comfort. You have family meals al fresco on your outdoor dining set, or catch some sun with the help of chaise lounges and lounge chairs.
Dive into Family Time
Spending time together over games, movies, and meals is always fantastic. But if you want to make the most of your family time, having your own pool is the way to go.
An above ground or semi-inground swimming pool gives everyone a chance to cool off on those hot summer days. Whether they want to work on their backstroke or relax in an inflatable pool float, your family will love the recreational possibilities of their pool. You can add extra fun with pool accessories and water toys, or create your own private resort by incorporating some outdoor furniture around the pool.
