Family members often have different preferences and styles, so they have different opinions on how a perfect interior design should look like.

If you want to create a space that will be convenient and cozy for everyone, then you need to negotiate.

These tips can help.

Establish a Common Ground

Look for shared interests, color schemes, or design styles that can serve as a foundation for the overall design. 

Focus on Individual Spaces

Allocate specific areas or rooms where each family member can express their individual style.

Encourage family members to decorate their rooms or corners with items that reflect their unique tastes, while ensuring it complements the overall theme.

Blend Different Styles

Mix and match elements from various styles to create a cohesive and eclectic look. 

For example, if one family member prefers a modern aesthetic and another prefers a rustic style, incorporate sleek modern furniture with rustic accents or vice versa. 

This fusion can bring together diverse tastes and create an interesting and dynamic space.

Compromise on Key Elements

Identify key design elements that are important to each family member and find ways to incorporate them into the overall design. 

This could be a particular color, artwork, or furniture piece. 

Seek Balance and Cohesion

Even with different design preferences, aim for a balanced and cohesive look throughout the home. 

Use complementary colors, textures, or patterns to tie different areas together.
