Designing With Kids In Mind

Creating a home that is kid friendly while still feeling refined is entirely possible. The key is thoughtful selections. When we design for families, we focus on choices that age gracefully, support daily life, and offer the durability a busy household needs.

Choose High-Performance Fabrics: We rely on high-performance textiles: crypton, solution-dyed acrylics, heavy linens, and stain-resistant blends to keep upholstery looking fresh. These fabrics stand up to heavy use, wipe clean easily, and maintain their color over time. The goal is to allow everyday living without constant worry.

Select Finishes That Grow With Them: Paint and wallpaper can set the tone in a child’s space, and choosing well ensures the room evolves naturally as they do. We favor classic patterns, soft palettes, and prints that don’t lean too young. A stripe, a dainty floral, or a subtle texture can age with them.

Create Functional, Organized Homework Areas: A dedicated workspace helps maintain order. We design built-ins and desk zones with concealed storage to keep supplies tucked away. When items have a place to land, the room stays calm, and clutter doesn’t spill into shared living areas.

Opt for Wipeable, Family-Friendly Furniture: Certain pieces benefit from extra durability. Wipeable wood finishes, performance-treated leathers, and sealed stone allow everyday messes to be managed with ease. The goal isn’t to restrict how children use the space but to ensure the home remains welcoming and well-kept.

Timelessness at Every Stage: Designing around children doesn’t mean compromising style. It means honoring the traditions of a well-loved home, classic materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and spaces that stand the test of time. When you start with quality and intention, your home can gracefully support every chapter of family life.
