Family friendly home decor – Really???
Can kids, pets and your clumsy red wine spilling partner and your prized white sofa all live in harmony??? Let The House Ministry show you how…
I’ll let you in on a secret – It’s entirely possible if you know how. Take, for instance, the famous British chef and television personality, Gordon Ramsey. Known for his fiery temper and cutting remarks, it’s easy to forget that he too, has a family and a home where he retreats to when the cameras stop rolling.

Off-camera, he’s a family man, with a home just like ours, where socks go missing and the day frequently starts with a painful barefoot interaction with a misplaced lego brick on the way downstairs to make early morning tea.
“This wasn’t just a fresh lick of paint”
The Ramsay family recently underwent an incredible renovation of their Cornwall home. This wasn’t just a fresh lick of paint or new curtains – it was a complete overhaul. The goal? A transformation that aimed to respect their home’s aesthetic appeal and history while making it more family-friendly.
“Kid-friendly yet uber-stylish kitchen”
The result was an exemplary combination of tasteful elegance and childproof functionality. From the carefully chosen fabrics that are both luxurious and stain-resistant, to the kid-friendly yet uber-stylish kitchen equipped with state-of-the-art appliances – it’s a testament to the fact that sophistication and family life can seamlessly blend.

Even the garden has been transformed into a play area for children and a relaxation zone for adults.
Now, I know what you’re thinking -“Well, that’s all well and good for the Ramsays, but I don’t have a world-renowned chef’s budget or contacts to transform my home.” But here’s where I’ll stop you.
Yes, the Ramsays had a hefty budget, but a beautiful, functional family home isn’t exclusive to the rich and famous.
“There’s an entire industry dedicated to this very mission”
In fact, it’s within reach, much closer than you think.
You see, there’s an entire industry dedicated to this very mission: specialist residential interior design firms. These are professionals who have mastered the art of balancing aesthetics with functionality with the specialism of family friendly living.

They understand life’s evolutions – how rumbustious toddlers become lively children with play dates and sleepovers, who grow into grumpy teenagers wanting their own space nowhere near their parents – all these stages are in tandem with the adults’ desire for grown up spaces.
“Working with an interior design firm means peace of mind”
Let me reassure you that the demands of busy family life, as well as catering to the needs of several generations, pets and clumsy guests, is in fact perfectly achievable for your home.

Working with an interior design firm means peace of mind – to create a home that’s both a safe space and a buzzing family hub.
“Find the right firm can feel overwhelming”
But finding the right firm can feel as overwhelming as deciding which of the fifty shades of white to pick for your kitchen.
And let’s not get started on the headache of coordinating all the tradespeople, making sure everything stays on budget and on schedule, all while trying to keep your sanity amidst the chaos.
But what if there was a way to get the expert assistance you need without having to juggle all those balls?
