A home that caters for your family house plans is important for a comfortable growth and development of you and your children. Here are a few things for you to consider when designing your home around your family.
Guest Room Becoming a Nursery / Bedroom
If children are on the horizon but not happening just yet – planning for a guest room that can be later turned into a nursery or bedroom for your child is a great idea. Ensuring you have a space that is big enough to be transformed into a room is important
Play Space Turned Study Room
An important thing to consider in your building plans is a space for your children to play that can be easily transformed into a study room for your children when they need it. It is beneficial to have a space away from the hustle and bustle of the household, as well as the childrens bedroom.
Resistant Fabrics and Materials
Considering what is going to age best in terms of fabrics for furniture and flooring options can save you money in the long run. Choosing easily damaged couches, or easily stained carpet can mean you might be repurchasing, or replacing flooring at some point. If you have young kids or pets, a bit of mess is to be expected. Choosing materials and colours that are easily cleaned and refreshed can be a massive benefit in a family home.
Upper and Lower Level
Having separated levels of the house can be a great idea if you have a larger family. This allows for children and parents to have their own personal spaces. The lower level of a home can potentially include the kitchen, dining and living area with an upper level that has study spaces and bedrooms. This segments a home to allow for areas that can be used privately for projects or study when needed.
Separate Entertainment Area
A entertainment area that you can used to entertain guests, as well as kids friends, can be a smart way to provide privacy, as well as not distract others in the household when people are over.
