Tips for Family-friendly Homes
Creating a family-friendly home design ensures everyone feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Here is how the tips go.
Open Spaces
Think about having open areas where the family could hang out together. It's nice to have an open, flowing, air-filled space to keep an eye on the kids while cooking or doing other things. An open or vertical garden on the top of your hangout place! It is heaven. For more inspiration, read our blogs.
Tough Kid Stuff
Kids can be pretty rough on things, so choosing materials that can handle the chaos is a good idea. Fabricate your worktop edges into an ogee bullnose so it doesn't hurt your younger ones whenever they hit it unknowingly. Look for safe furniture and flooring that still can take a beating and are easy to clean.
Add Smart Storage Galore
With kids comes other toys and stuff, and with the kitchen comes all the clutter. Plenty of storage space helps keep things organised and out of the way. Think about built-in shelves, kitchen condiment racks, bins, baskets for laundry rooms, corral toys, and other clutters.
How about floating shelves? This will be the greatest family-friendly home design idea! Because they are practical and convenient to store items.
You Might Need a Hangout Space Inside Your Homes
Kids or grown-ups need a space to hang out inside their homes and be themselves sometimes. Creating designated areas where they can do just that, whether it's a playroom, a cosy reading corner, or a spot for arts and crafts, can help keep the rest of the house a bit more grown-up.
Got Elders at Home? Make an Elder Friendly Home
Elders usually walk a lot inside their homes, are curious about things and sometimes get into things they shouldn't. Ensure your home is safe for the elders by securing safe furniture and bathrooms with tumbled shower walls and floors, covering outlets, and removing potential hazards.
Flexible Stone Furniture
Choose furniture that would adapt to your family's changing needs. Pieces that serve multiple purposes, like a sleeper sofa or a coffee table with storage, can be real lifesavers.
Keep Portraits of Your Family for a Sentimental Touch
Make your home feel like, well, home! Displaying your and your kid's portraits can remind your whole family how loving you are with each other. Sometimes, kids come up with amazing art stuff, be proud of it, frame it, and add it to the walls.
Outdoor Oasis
A huge bonus is having a backyard or outdoor space where the family can hang out and play. It's like having an extra room in your home to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine together.

Pet and Kid Friendly Kitchens
Keeping your pets safe and secured from the kitchens is the hardest thing. Create a safe, durable, and enjoyable space for your furry friends and little ones. Consider incorporating easy-to-clean surfaces like quartz countertops, which can withstand spills and scratches from pets and kids. And the cabinets? Yes, add up a cabinet that can withstand tugs and pulls, and consider installing soft-close mechanisms to prevent little fingers from getting pinched.
Summary
In conclusion, whether you're transforming an existing house or starting from scratch to build your family-friendly dream home, careful planning is key.
