Kid-friendly Interior Design Without Sacrificing Style

Designing a beautiful home when you have kids feels impossible; you feel like you’re even stuck between choosing a grown-up style or bright, bold colours.

But the good news is that you don’t have to pick one over the other.

By following the steps in this house, you can create a home, and it is practical for kids and still pleasing to grown-up eyes.

Choose Durable, Washable Fabrics

It’s inevitable that when kids are in the room, spills and stains are going to show up on fabrics.

Opting for stronger and washable fabrics that you can easily toss into the washing machine and wipe down means that you can keep the space looking fresh with minimal effort.

Pick Rounded Soft Furniture

Little heads and sharp corners don’t mix well.

Instead, choose furniture with rounded edges, like ottomans, and even toss in a few floor cushions for added comfort and flexibility.

Stylish Storage Solutions.

A great way to keep a kid's room tidy is to have everything hidden in baskets, built-in and multifunctional furniture that helps to keep non-aesthetic toys out of sight.

There are plenty of storage benches, coffee tables with hidden compartments, and woven baskets that can help to clean up the space.

Embrace Easy-to-Clean Rugs

Avoid light coloured rugs and go for patterned options that easily hide spills and crumbs.

I even know people who would use indoor/outdoor rugs because they are soft and a feet and easy to wash.

Make a Space For Play

If the room is big enough, designate a kids' zone within the room so that toys don’t take over the entire space.

For example, a cosy reading nook and art corner or a play area can make the space a little bit more intentional.
