Family Friendly Home Improvements to Consider This Year
We may be heading into the autumn, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to make some changes to your home before the winter arrives. Below, we’ve rounded up five family-friendly home improvement projects that you should consider before the year’s out.
1. Convert an office into a playroom
That way, they’ll be able to keep their bedrooms clean and tidy and have somewhere fun to play when you want quiet time. Decoist has put together some of the best playroom designs if you’re looking for inspiration – flick through with your children to find a style that fits.
2. Transform your garden
Whether you realize it or not, your garden is one of the most important places in your home. In the summer months, you can use your garden to host barbecues, dinner parties and fun family activities, while in the cooler autumn and winter months, you can chill out with some marshmallows and a hot chocolate, or build a snowman. Before it gets too cold, though, there’s just enough time to make some changes to your garden – add a new set of tables and chairs, do some landscaping or build a Wendy house where your children can play at the weekend.
3. Replace your garage roof
4. Decorate the family living room
Nowadays, children and young adults spend more time on their phones than ever before, and as a parent, it can often feel like a chore trying to make conversation with your kids. Make simple home improvements in your family living room, and you’ll be able to spend more quality time with the ones you love the most. Whether that involves adding a home entertainment system, upgrading your television set or splashing out on comfortable sofas, cushions and throws, it’s easy to make your living room the place to hang out.
5. Keeping cool during the summer and warm during the winter
Whether you’re looking for quick wins or you’re prepared to splash the cash on expensive furnishings and repairs, it’s time to make your house a home.
