If you wish to maintain the ashram atmosphere in your home then convert your house into an ashram. If you cannot do that then try to become a walking and living ashram yourself, where you are at peace with yourself and there is no war and conflict within you, where you are able to face all situations with a balanced frame of mind and where you can maintain your spiritual identity while being surrounded by material attractions.
