We know that creating a beautiful, functional, and kid-friendly home can sometimes feel like an impossible feat. Balancing style, safety, and functionality might seem overwhelming (and daunting), which is why we have drawn up some family-friendly home design tips for you to help you out!




Functional Home Design

Consider the Functionality of Each Space

A well-designed home should flow effortlessly. Start by assessing the functionality of each room. Ask yourself: How does your family use the space? Are there specific activities that take place? Tailor your design choices to accommodate those needs. Think convertible furniture, multi-purpose storage, and adaptable layouts that can transform as your kids grow.

Embrace Durable and Easy-to-Clean Materials

Life with kids often comes with spills, stains, and surprises. Embrace materials that can withstand the whirlwind of family life while still looking chic. Opt for stain-resistant fabrics, wipeable surfaces, and durable flooring options. At Larkin Living Spaces, we can guide you towards stylish yet practical choices that strike the perfect balance.




Kids' playroom

Create Zones for Play and Creativity

Kids thrive in environments that fuel their imagination. Designate specific zones for play, creativity, and learning. From cozy reading nooks to art corners bursting with color, these spaces will inspire your little ones and keep their activities contained. We'll help you create pockets of joy that seamlessly integrate with your overall design.



Pretty Storage
