In the midst of a pandemic, turning the old mundane home into a kid-friendly space is unique, and here are some smart tips you can follow.
Children's bedrooms have always been the center of attractions. Every senior person in the home thinks of what best they can deliver to their children. Their home life is most important that includes the place of sleeping and doing homework.
But at some point, you will agree that their things spread out to so many zones of the home and they end up doing their homework in the kitchen or dining room. Now the pandemic has even aggravated the trends that have made the house smaller. This is the reason why more parents are inclined towards reorganizing the existing rooms for their children that can calm their needs and anxieties. Most of the buyers are looking for different types of arrangements being unsure about when this pandemic will end or if another will grow.
Having enhanced flexibility in home and living is important. Real estate agents, architects, designers, and child psychologists share information on how to furnish kids' bedrooms and communal areas in a home so everyone feels comfortable. This can also let you consider your child’s personality and understand more about your child and his/her behavior whether they like to stay alone or like to stay around people.
Let’s count on some of the ideas of making kids-friendly spaces.
Bedrooms can be made well-planned
What according to you is the prime purpose of a bedroom? I think it is just used for sleeping. Not just me but many parents out there think that screens should be kept out of children's room to give them proper sleep and fulfilling the purpose of soundless sleep.
It is also suggested to keep the playing and studying outside the bedrooms. There are competing cues and triggers when children are doing their homework or playing in the bedroom. When such activities persist in the bedroom, kids may be tempted to play, resist bedtime, or think about school.
But not every family has separate rooms where children can pursue all the nonsleep tasks, here I can say that homes these days are more like kindergarten rooms with separate spaces for naps, sleep, play, and learning. Some rooms include proper space for desks, chairs, windows and more.
Then the rooms can be decorated with an area rug, standing screen. A pocket door, curtains, bookcase, and more. With small furniture and the little budget children's bedroom can be prepared amazingly.
Living Space can be changed in a tremendous way
There are so many corners of the home that children look up to. They can’t just stay in one corner and since the time pandemic began living spaces have become children's favorite.
Open floor plans are not loved by all anymore, many just want to go back to dining, living, small family, or separate rooms. Children need different areas like rooms on lower levels with more lighting that can be the e-learning area for students. This can be done during a pandemic, post it can be converted into a movie theater, home gym, or office. This can be a perfect cheerful, calm, and eco-conscious zone for them.
It is very considerable for parents and designers to choose the proper materials and designs for children's rooms. Children play rough and choose furnishings that will withstand wear, tear, and dirt. They try to choose the paint of walls that can be easily washed and cleaned, furniture with no sharp corners, stain-resistant. The room is planned with more boxes to accommodate toys, games, and books.
The outdoor area can be changed amazingly
Do you ever consider turning your garage into a playroom for your kids or an office for yourself? It can be transformed into a virtual classroom where you can learn together and teach your children. Being able to focus on work or study in a place that is quiet and organized will be beneficial.
The main point of concern here is whether the climate will permit or not then you can add some heater if it’s too cold or can add coolers if it’s too hot. But this extended extra area will be easily used or if you are making it a play area then add a swimming pool through which your child or children can learn something extra.
Needless to say that the backyard area became every family’s favorite place where they can do homework, enjoy open dates, have meals, play sports, and do extra activities for refreshment. Once the pandemic is over you can continue doing the same activities on weekends as these things never go out of style.
Children's imaginations sometimes make it seem like there is a new place to explore or climb in every room in the house. The furniture and homes that we live in are not designed to be playgrounds, so with the tips provided above, you can have some peace of mind knowing that your tiniest ones won't be able to go into rooms they shouldn't while you try to balance work and parenting.
