 A family-friendly home interior design should have two basic qualities—creative fashion and functionality. However, with kids in the picture, creating a fashionable interior into the spaces of one’s home can be more challenging.

For those who have active and lively families, here some of the dos and don’ts in creating stylish and yet family-friendly interior home designs:

Do consider your family’s lifestyle. A good interior reflects a well-developed taste. Incorporate a family design that can stand common family scenarios such as food fights, pets, and indoor games. A good start is by picking a good color for walls and furniture that can easily hide stains, dirt, and grease.

Do not be afraid to experiment. Colors, patterns, and textures are the nuclear components of style and fashion. Be free to indulge on fresh-cut flowers and other displays, but be mindful of where to place them.

Do choose durable materials and finishes. From walls and windows to fabrics and rugs, choose materials that can withstand the test of time—and of course, children. For instance, in terms of paint, it is ideal to use wipeable latex paints because they are easier than oil-based ones to clean.

Do not create a childproof home. One great way to improve the overall maintenance of a home is to create a special space for kids. Allocate spare areas in common rooms for children to do the things they enjoy.
