Every parent knows that once you have kids, they somehow take over the entire house. Even when they’re tiny babies, it seems like their stuff is everywhere; the kitchen is full of bottles, there are bouncers in the living room, baby clothes wind up all over the bedroom, the hallways are full of toys, and there are pacifiers in every corner. It can feel impossible to have a beautiful adult-looking home once kids join the family, but it doesn’t have to be as hard as you think! Here are some of our favorite tips for keeping the house looking refined, elegant, and still kid-friendly.
1. Get some decorative ladders.
In the past few years, decorative ladders have become all the rage — and for good reason! Use them to display blankets and towels, hanging plants, and even small storage baskets.
2. Don’t shy away from white!
White accent pieces keep the home looking light and bright, so don’t be afraid to buy white pillowcases, throw blankets, tablecloths, and more. Keep these items looking crisp and white by using OxiClean™ White Revive™! Laundry Whitener and Stain Remover.
3. Keep closets organized.
Closets are catch-all areas for clothes, toys, sports equipment, and more, so keep them organized! Add some shelving, drawers, hanging storage, baskets, and shoe racks to help minimize clutter.
4. Designate play areas.
Keep kids’ toys and crafts in just a few rooms, like their bedroom, the living room, and their playroom.
