Young at Heart: Spaces That Grow with Your Family

Have a house filled with bustling kids? Great! You’re in the right place. You may think it’s impossible to have great design in your home and kids at the same time, right? Well, we are here to tell you its not! Busy moms on the go need a home that is functional and practical, yet one the whole family can grow in to. The Moss Manor design team has a few tips to share and pieces to incorporate into your home that your family won’t outgrow.

Eye sore no more: The playroom is inevitable in any home with growing children, but it does not have to be one that is off limits to your guests. This sweet space by The Cross Interior Design is the perfect hideaway for your little ones! The neural white room scape, verses a bright one, allows your kiddos to grow with their room, and saves you from spending your weekends painting the walls from pink to yellow and back to pink. Instead you can quickly swap out pillows, area rugs, and wall art to cater to whatever it is your tot decides to like this week. Next, the lighting chosen is one that will transition with your child, and your home. The Opulence Ceiling Light lends a warm glowing light thats funky enough for a playroom, but will still feel fresh when the space is turned into your home office or guest room.

Storage Solutions: The days of primary colored toy boxes are finally over! Investing in quality storage bends means that your kids can use them now for all their toys, and later for art supplies or high school memories. The Yuma Trunks are great for adding a rustic touch to any space. Best part of all, these trunks come in a set of three, providing a safe haven for all Mom’s favorite photos or blankets too.

Functional Furniture: Remember going to your grandmothers house in the late 80’s and everything was crystal, the couch was stark white, and the rug wasn’t actually meant for walking on?! We all know how unrealistic this is for a house with growing kids. Your growing family needs furniture pieces that will allow functionality and versatility for your sanity and your home. The Pacific Heights Sofa is the perfect mix of style and function. The mom approved, rich charcoal color allows for easy maintenance and the classic style wont leave you with a trendy seating arrangement that needs updating next season. Perfect for your living room, guest room, or playroom.
