When you’re planning your dream renovation, it’s important to make sure your plans include all members of your family. This means making sure your new home is going to be childproof.
Luckily, making your home more child-friendly is easier than you might think. In this blog, we’re sharing some kid-friendly renovation ideas to inspire you for your next project.
Create a rumpus room
Creating a dedicated playroom for your kids allows them to have their own space, whilst keeping the rest of your house tidy. Fill the rumpus room with their toys, art and craft supplies, and favourite games to encourage a fun and creative space.
Invest in dual-purpose furniture
Having enough storage in your home can be challenging with kids. This is where dual-purpose furniture can come in handy. For example, you can buy a bed or sofa with built-in storage compartments. This helps to keep your space tidy and reduce clutter.
Create a study nook
Installing a study nook is important as your kids get older, to provide them with a space where they can do their homework without being disrupted. It should be a quiet area, with enough room for them to comfortably do their work.
Consider flooring
The flooring is an essential part of your home. Make sure to choose an option that can withstand kids running around on it and isn’t too slippery. Small kids also love to play on the floor, so ensuring that it’s easy to clean is important. One good option is to get some rugs your kids can sit on while playing, that you can easily wash when dirty. If you want a hard floor, then vinyl or laminate can be a good idea.
Use kid-friendly paint
Worried about your kids drawing on the walls? Use kid-friendly paint in their bedrooms and the rumpus room for a stress-free solution. This way, you can easily wash off any marks that they make.
Renovating your home with your kids in mind will help to create a safer, more enjoyable space for the whole family. It will ensure that your home is prepared for the future and that your family can enjoy it for years to come.
