Just for Kids

Having a space in your home that’s just for the kids is great way to make sure they have room to grow, learn, play, and just be themselves. Use these tips, like adding more light with replacement windows in your Huntington Beach, CA home to boost natural light, to create spaces in your home just for your kids.

To begin, your kid’s “room” doesn’t have to be a room. It doesn’t need four walls and a door, just enough space to create the area you want. If you have an entire extra room, great! If not, basements, corners, closets, nooks, attics, and other free spaces are just as wonderful.

Game rooms are spaces dedicated to competitive or engaged play. When making a game room for your kids, try and choose space that’s out of the way so you don’t get a lot of noise pollution, like a basement. If your basement is too dark, don’t be afraid to add in new windows to bring in more natural light. Don’t forget seating, a big enough table for board games, and plenty of storage for all those board games.

If your kids love arts and crafts, you can’t beat a dedicated craft room. When creating a craft room just for your kids, make sure you have a storage area to organize all the materials as well as storage bins and baskets to easily bring out materials as needed. Don’t forget about a sturdy table that’s easy to clean and matching stools or chairs that fit both adults and kids. Your craft room can also double as a homework room if you have enough lightning. To increase the light in the room, try adding more windows and finishing those windows with the right kind of high-functioning, energy-efficient, and durable window treatments like shutters, shades, or drapes.

Depending on how old your kids are, a playroom might be the best kind of space for them to enjoy. When building a playroom for your kids, you need to focus on durability, creativity, and functionality. In terms of durability, choose flooring and storage that will stand the test of time and the test of mischievous children. When it comes to creativity, fill the playroom with creation-inspiring goods like chalkboards, tents, floor pillows, and bookshelves. Finally, focus on functionality by choosing window treatments that give you the function you need. For example, window shutters are ideal for playrooms as they allow you to customize the amount of natural light that gets into the room, and they last a long time.

Don’t forget! Parents benefit from kids’ spaces, too, as it gives the grownups time to relax and recharge when the kids are off playing.
