Just because you have kids doesn’t mean you have to give up your personal style or get rid of your fancy coffee table (unless it has sharp corners—then you may need to compromise). Admittedly, though, it takes a keen eye to figure out how to create a space that’s both sophisticated and sippy cup-friendly.
Here are a few ideas:
- Frame Your Kid’s Art. Frame your children’s best masterpieces and display them with pride. This will help you keep their masterpieces forever and it can look refined when professionally done with clean, modern frames and then arranged in a classic floor-to-ceiling grid.
- Open Up the Floor Plan. If your space needs to accommodate a large or growing family, consider an open dining, family room, and game room which will allow you to keep an eye on your kids and spend more quality time together
- Designate an “Adult-Only” Room. If you have enough space in your home, it’s okay to designate a few “adults-only” rooms. For example, a casual breakfast nook in the kitchen can function as a gathering place for everyday meals, while the dining room can be reserved for special occasions and dinner parties.
- Give Kids’ Rooms a Timeless Look. When decorating a kid’s bedroom or one of the common areas like a playroom or media room that’ll grow up with them, it’s all about investing in classic pieces, so you don’t have to switch it over and over again.
