3 Updates To Make To Your Home When You Have Small Kids

June 21, 2020 by Annie

When you kids, everything about your life changes. All of a sudden, your most important priority is the health and safety of your children. Even things like the aesthetics of your home seem to go out the window in order to ensure that you little ones are protected.

But while most baby-proofing requires you to add some unsightly items to your home, there are things you can do to keep your kids safe while also adding value to your home. To show you how this can be done, here are three updates to make to your home when you have small kids.

Safe Ways To Stay Cool

For little babies, it can be very hard for them to regulate their own body temperature. Because of this, it’s up to you to ensure that your home is a comfortable temperature for them.

If your home is too cold, you may want to consider dressing your kids in layers or better insulating your home against cooler weather. And if you live in a hot climate, the Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends doing things like installing cordless blinds to block out the sun. You may also want to plant trees to keep your home in the shade or paint your roof a lighter color to deflect the heat.

Add More Tile To The Bathroom

One way or another, your kids are bound to get messy and dirty throughout the day. So before they go to bed for the night, it’s wise to wash off all the gunk they’ve accumulated during their waking hours.

Now, when kids take baths, they tend to get just so much water outside of the tub as they do inside of the tub. So to make sure that you don’t wind up with moisture, mold, or mildew problems, Gillian Lazanik, a contributor to Houzz.com, recommends that you consider putting tile throughout your bathroom. By tilling both the floors and part of the walls, you’ll protect your bathroom from splashes and sprays.

Increase Your Storage Options

Kids come with a lot of stuff. And the more kids you have, the more stuff you’re going to need to store in your home. With this in mind, increasing the amount of storage you have in your home will only prove to be beneficial for you.

While Megan Barber, a contributor to Curbed.com, shares that you can set up short-term storage options like shelving units or containers to help kids store easily accessible food and other items, you could also try converting some unused space into a closet or other storage area that fits seamlessly into the layout of your home.

If you’re needing to make some changes around your home to better accommodate your kids, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you accomplish this.
