A family home is like a nest, it is meant to nurture and protect the whole family, and provide a nourishing environment to grow in. This ideabook features 5 ideas for a family home, ranging from simple ideas like DIY tool kits to home libraries. Let's browse through some of these ideas for a family home and see if we find some new ideas that will capture our attention. 

Tree house

Encourage your children to play in the garden instead of being hooked up to the television all the time with this beautiful wooden tree house. This way children also can have their own space for playing without disturbing others in the household. Perhaps the tree house could serve as a fantasy escape plan for both children and parents? Either way, the tree house will bring many cherished memories to the family home.

Another outdoor idea for the whole family is a pool. Here are some modern style pools you can browse through. 

LiFi technology

In the modern family home, internet connection is as essential as the kitchen. Simply put, learning, working, and being entertained in the information age requires an internet connection. 

LiFi technology is a faster and cheaper version of WiFi. Instead of using radio frequency waves like WiFi, LiFi uses visible light communication, which has a much wider bandwidth. Aesthetically, it also looks much better than a WiFi modem. This one is called Eclipse, and looks pretty impressive and almost as if it were out of some science fiction movie. 

With Eclipse, not only can you increase internet speed and save money, but also monitor and control your children's internet use. You can choose to turn off the network in each room and schedule it as you like. 

Take a step into the future for the future of your family with Eclipse. 

DIY tool kits

DIY tool kits like this one are great for family time activities, and can also make the home prettier and more personal. 

These days, many kids are obsessed with playing games on their phones, and miss out on doing interactive activities. This DIY tool kit is one way of getting the kids off their phones to do something creative and fun.

Home library

Cultivate the reading habit at home by having a mini library. This large bookshelf is actually built into the wall itself and extends all the way up to the ceiling, providing plenty of space for books. A ladder leans against the wall library to enable one to reach the higher shelves. 

In this home library, a seating area with spacious grey sofas looks out into the garden, creating a tranquil environment where you can sit comfortably and get absorbed into a book and look out into the garden every once in a while to recollect thoughts. 

Upcycled furniture

Upcycled furniture is a great role model for showing children the value of being resourceful, frugal, and creative. This metallic silver bed is made out of galvanized steel pipes and reclaimed scaffolding boards. The way a home is furnished and decorated exhibits certain qualities. A family home should be a good role model for children. For more inspiration, have a look at a simple family abode
