Starting
a family can be one of the most challenging yet rewarding phases of
your life. Since you’ll all be under one roof for a long time, it
makes sense to make your abode highly conducive to family living.
Here are the essential features of a family-friendly home.
A
nursery in the master’s bedroom
Aside
from the ability to monitor your young ones, placing the nursery in
your bedroom provides you time to design your child’s room based on
his or her personality. When your child is finally old enough to
sleep alone, you can convert the space into a study area.
Teen’s
area
Growing
kids prefer more privacy. Give them some space where they can
entertain friends, listen to music, or play video games. This gives
the rest of the family time to bond in the living room while teens do
their thing.
Pet
zones
For
many people, a home wouldn’t be complete without a pet. You may
want to place your pet’s bed, food, toys, and crate in one area, or
build a pet bath station to save on grooming time.
All-inclusive,
open plan kitchen
A
functional family kitchen can serve as a dining area where everyone
can converge for breakfast or dinner, watch shows on the telly, and
quickly grab snacks from cabinets stocked with goodies. Mum should be
able to oversee other areas of the home from the kitchen so she can
keep an eye on the little ones while preparing meals.
