A layered, boho look melds well with the happy chaos of family life. Whatever style you choose, though, low-maintenance is crucial. Once kids arrive, it is hard to keep up with clearing clutter.

For furniture, choose a vibrant color, a bit of pattern and touchable texture. All help to camouflage the inevitable spills… It is also fun to have a place for children to display their art.

Forts are fun at any age, and a cardboard version is one that can be easily folded up and pulled out when the grandchildren come visit.

Designate areas in rooms for children to do the things they enjoy, whether it’s reading, drawing or just playing.
