Having a well presented and stylish home when you have young children may seem like an impossible challenge, but it can be done! Making the right choices in décor means that you get a home that is both visually pleasing and easy to care for whilst being suitable for young children and all that comes with them!
One of the first things to consider is the flooring. With young children comes the inevitable mess and spillages, and a lot of running around! Engineered wood flooring like this //www.irwintiles.ie/wooden-flooring/engineered-wood-flooring is a good choice as it looks like real hardwood but because it is layered with other materials it can withstand much more. It is easy to clean as well as being durable and of course looks great.
For walls, think about finger marks from messy hands, and the inevitable crayons that come out! You want something that you can easily clean, so wallpaper is not a great option when children are very young. Many paint brands offer ranges of paints that are designed to be washable and easy to keep clean without damaging the finish of the paint. You can brighten the walls up with wall art which is easy to update if you want to make changes to your interior.
Furniture is another thing to think about – safety is a big part here. When children are learning to walk, you want to minimise the pointy edges, so opt ofr furniture with more rounded edges if you can. For sofas, choose fabrics that are easy to clean and more resistant to stains.
