Family homes require a lot more than a home for two or three, as it needs to cater to both the parents and the children living inside the home. Luckily, we here at iRemodel have come up with some things to take into consideration when performing a home renovation on a family-based space.
Sightlines Are Important
When you have children, you will want to be sure that you can keep an eye on them at all times. This means designing your spaces so that you can do what you have to while keeping an eye on the kids. Places like the kitchen should be designed so that your kids are in your field of vision when you’re busy cooking a meal. Little design changes like this will ensure that your kids are safe under your supervision for years to come.
Entertainment
When it comes to maintaining peace in the family home, an entertainment area is a great way to implement a relaxing living space. As children grow older, you will want an area to keep everyone in the home entertained, especially when you’re busy with other tasks in the home. A large amount of appreciation would be presented when you provide your children with a space to watch TV shows and movies, or play video games and hang with the rest of the family.
Having Enough Bathrooms
When you need to go, you need to go! Living in a home with a larger number of people means you should have an appropriate number of bathrooms installed. This way, there is no conflict when two people need to go to the bathroom, straighten or blow dry their hands, take a shower, the list goes on.
Not only will this minimize conflict, but it will help everyone in the home be ready for big events at a faster pace than normal. If you are rushing to get somewhere, it is much easier for a family to get ready when there are three bathrooms instead of just one or two.
Lots Of Storage
With more people comes a lot more stuff, and with that comes more need for bigger and better storage spaces. Enough kitchen cabinets, closets and garage space will ensure that all of your stuff as well as your children’s items are put in a place where they don’t get in the way. This makes your space end up much more clean and organized than it would without.
