Making Your Family Home More Comfortable

Posted on February 16, 2021February 16, 2021 by Larry

Your family home should be a place that allows you and your loved ones to unwind, have fun, and all-around create memories that you’ll all remember for years to come. There are some qualities that your home needs to have in order for this to be possible, however. Take comfort, for example. If you don’t have a comfortable home, then it’ll be much more difficult for you and your family to really sink into all the goodness that a home can bring. In this blog, we’ll run through some tried and tested tips that’ll help to create a comfortable family home.

Plenty of Space

You’ll all find it hard to be comfortable if it feels like you’re all on top of each other. One thing about family homes is that they can quickly become cluttered. There might have felt like enough space when you first moved in, but after some time, things can become cramped — not because you’ve added another child to your family (though that’ll also do it), but just because there’s so much stuff. So look at having a clearout of the things that you no longer need, and finding storage space for the things you need to keep. You’ll be able to breathe more easily when you can see the floors and walls, rather than just dozens of items.

Children Play Zones

One of the things that can make family homes a little chaotic — and thus less comfortable — is that everyone has different needs. There’ll be times when you need to work or relax, while your kids will just want to play games. Those things can sometimes happen in the same space, but not all the time. So why not look at setting up a children playroom? This helps because it’ll give your kids a special place to play, and ensure the rest of the home is more relaxing. Plus, it’ll keep all the mess that kids can make confined to just one room.

The Right Temperature

A lot of homeowners focus on what they see in their home, but a large part of comfort is based on what we feel. If your home isn’t the right temperature, then it doesn’t matter how well designed it is or whether you’ve taken the other tips on this list: you’ll find it difficult to really sink into comfort. There are plenty of things you can do to make your home warmer. For example, you can learn about spray foam insulation max temperature, and add that type of insulation to your property. You’ll notice that the temperature is a lot more bearable, from the very first day. 

Add Privacy

Finally, look at making your family home more private. It’s much more enjoyable to feel like you’re living in your own little oasis, rather than out in public! Building up your front yard so that it’s harder for passersby to peer in, and soundproofing the property so that external noise can’t pass through will both help to make things feel more private.

About Us

My good friend Ben started this site many years ago.  Ben said this about himself, “am a follower of Christ, a rabid computer geek, small business owner, and breaker of things. He is married way above his station in life and has three wonderful children who have made driving him insane their mission in life.”

Well back in 2019, Ben suddenly passed away from cancer and he asked me to continue the site. I like Ben, am a follower, a computer geek, a small business owner, and the father of 5 great children.

I miss Ben everyday but run this site in his honor. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
