Seven Ways to Create a Family-Friendly Home
With decorating a home, your family’s overall satisfaction may be at the forefront of your needs. To help you maximize your family’s comfort and happiness, we created a simple guide to help build a more family-friendly home. Let’s take a look!
Seven Ways to Create a Family-Friendly Home:
Island Retreat.
First, let us talk about your kitchen. Placing an island inside of your kitchen can completely transform your life. Not only are islands amazing for cooking, but it is perfect for creating family time. While you prepare dinner, your kids can sit at the island doing their homework, or your guests can sit at the island and chat with you. An island is an overall game changer in a kitchen, and we highly recommend it.
Getting Cozy.
If you are like us, your home’s coziness is important to you. After a long day for you and your family, you want to come home to a relaxing environment. By adding comfortable seating, pillows, blankets, and rugs, you can transform your home into a serene oasis.
Know Your Squad.
In order to create a space for you and your family, you want to be aware of the people inside of your home. If you live with small children, your priorities may be a little different than a family with teenagers. Once you gathered a list of your preferences for your space, you can begin to recognize the things you need in your space.
R E S P E C T.
Do not hold off on buying nice things just because you have children. Homeowners tend to design their home with old hand-me-downs and used furniture with the fear that their children will ruin anything nice. But in fact, many homeowners found that when they worked with their children to respect the furniture, there were fewer problems. Now we are not saying to buy the most expensive, nicest couch on the market with a toddler in your house. But if you are looking for a newer, cleaner couch, don’t hesitate to buy it.
Heavy-Duty.
All of that being said, we really encourage homeowners to buy heavy-duty materials. Inevitably, spills and accidents will happen—there is no way around it. By purchasing materials that can withstand the hardships, you will be setting you and your family up for success.
All Charged Up.
With electronics being ever-so-popular, we recommend adding a few more outlets throughout your home. This way everyone can have a space to plug in their electronics without any extra hassle.
Embrace Patterns.
You know why some homeowners love patterns? Because they hide spills and accidents. Truly, parents of young children embrace patterns because it can conceal accidental messes.
