Home is our happy place
In a world that’s big and busy, it’s important to have a home that feels cosy and comfortable for everyone – especially when living with little ones. Maybe your home is small? Maybe your family is big? It doesn’t matter. With a bit of clever thinking (and team spirit!) there are always ways to make room for togetherness, privacy – and fun. Here’s how.
Let’s have some fun
Not just the best way to make an afternoon at home fly by, play is super important for almost every aspect of a child’s development. If you don’t want your home to look like a 24/7 carnival, though, these pack-in-a-snap solutions are here to help.
Move the drawers on wheels to the side, pull down the table and the kids have a dedicated corner for creativity that’s just as easy to fold away again when they’re done.
All hands on deck
Sure, cooking dinner (and cleaning up after) takes a little longer with kids; but you’ll be bonding, improving their motor skills and teaching them life lessons all at the same time. If your little ones have picky palates, letting them help choose the menu could even make them more likely to eat it. Well, it’s worth a shot, right?
Your space, my space, our space
With everyone under one roof, a good balance of togetherness and privacy can do a world of good. As homes become smaller and smaller, though, how can you make space for both? Take a look at this shared bedroom below, where using a loft bed creates a “kids-only” zone on top, plus a mini-lounge for both mom and son below.
See the world through their eyes
Do you remember being a child? Do you remember what it felt like? Do you remember how big everything (and everyone!) seemed? Just checking in with your child, and seeing things from their perspective, can really make them feel at ease. And cuddles, of course. Plenty of cuddles!
