Creating a home that prioritises family togetherness is a top priority for many homeowners. A well designed space can enhance daily interactions and create a welcoming environment for everyone. At Hill Built, we understand the importance of blending functionality with warmth, ensuring that every room becomes a place for cherished moments. We’ve put together some of our best tips to create family friendly spaces using custom cabinetry, based on our extensive experience and recent projects.
1. Open plan living:
Open plan living spaces are ideal for nurturing family interaction. By eliminating walls that separate the kitchen, dining, and living areas, you can create a fluid space that allows family members to be together, even when engaged in different activities. Custom cabinetry plays a crucial role in this design. For example, an island with built in storage can serve as a hub for cooking, homework, and socialising. Integrated storage solutions keep the area clutter free, allowing for a clean, inviting environment that encourages family time.
2. Multi functional spaces:
Today’s homes need to adapt to various family activities, from work to play to relaxation. Multi functional spaces equipped with custom cabinetry can accommodate these needs seamlessly. Consider built-in desks that can transform from a homework station to a home office, or fold away tables that provide extra dining space for gatherings with family and friends. Versatile storage options, like adjustable shelves and modular units allow for easy reconfiguration as your family’s needs change. This flexibility ensures that your home remains functional and welcoming for everyone.
3. Child friendly design:
Designing spaces with kids in mind is essential for a family friendly home. Custom cabinetry can be tailored to include features that make life easier and safer for your little ones. Soft close drawers prevent pinched fingers and loud noises, whilst accessible storage ensures that toys and books are within reach. Incorporating playful elements, such as built in reading nooks or art stations, can encourage creativity and provide dedicated spaces for children to explore and learn. These thoughtful and personable design touches make your home more enjoyable for children and parents alike.
4. Personalised touches:
Adding personalised touches to your home makes it feel uniquely yours. Custom cabinetry allows for the inclusion of family memorabilia, bespoke finishes, and personalised shelving that reflect your family’s personality and history. Displaying cherished items in custom built shelves or cabinets adds warmth and character to your home. Whether it’s a special shelf for family photos or a dedicated space for heirlooms, these personalised elements make your home a true reflection of who you are and are jobs we love completing.
5. Quality and durability:
When creating a family friendly home, it’s important to choose materials and craftsmanship that stand the test of time. We pride ourselves on using high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship to ensure durability. Our custom cabinetry is designed to withstand the rigours of daily life, providing you with a lasting investment. Quality cabinetry not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home but also ensures that it remains functional and beautiful for years to come.
