domestic scene
Household life depicted
A domestic scene is a view of home life—family members engaged in everyday household activities.
In art, domestic scenes depict interiors with people cooking, eating, or caring for children.
The phrase also describes any moment of ordinary home life: I walked in on a cozy domestic scene, the kids doing homework while dinner simmered.
It can carry irony when the "scene" involves conflict: The neighbors witnessed quite a domestic scene last night.
