5 kid-friendly interior design ideas

A trusty foundation
Stains and spills are common in a family home, and regular cleaning is unavoidable. But you can prevent slips and falls by choosing washable and reliable flooring types, such as texture tiles, or wood. If you prefer carpet, you might want to consider carpet tiles, which allow you to clean individual squares whenever necessary.

Smart storage for little ones
Having ample storage space is vital, but kids have a tendency to be messy and disorganised, especially when they lack allocated compartments for their possessions. Provide such spaces and teach your children to use them whenever they are done with their toys, books or other belongings. This will ensure your home is clutter-free and therefore, more presentable.

Multifunctional furniture
Sufficient storage space isn’t important only in kids’ rooms but all over the house. To minimise clutter in every single room, get furniture like storage trunks and side tables with drawers to safely stash items that are not in use.

A clean slate
Living with kids means worrying about food splatters and quite possibly doodling on your walls. As such, it would be wise to choose an easily washable paint formula that makes cleaning the walls a breeze. Semi-gloss colours are particularly easy to clean, usually requiring nothing more than mild soap and a damp cloth. If you prefer a matte finish on your walls, washable flat paint colours are a good alternative.
