If you’re moving into a new home with your large or still growing family, then there are a few considerations you need to think about during the renovation process. Living with a family can sometimes be trying, but if you think of all the contingencies during the renovation process, you’ll seriously save yourself a lot of grief in the long run. So here are a few things you need to consider while renovating for a large family.
1. Study room for multiple people

Designing spaces that can be used by multiple people at the same time is one of the first steps in creating a harmonious family home. You can start by going for a study room that has been specifically designed to accommodate more than one person. A joint study desk, a reading area and an abundance of storage can help make such a space truly flexible.
2. Flexible room aesthetic for a growing family

If your family consists of growing children, then it’s really important that you keep the aesthetics of their room adaptable. Before you know it, they will have outgrown their childhood, and would be teenagers, and then adults. So its better to have a room with simple visuals that they can personalize on their own to reflect a particular stage of their lives.
3. An organized bathroom

When it comes to shared bathrooms and large families, its always better to be safe then sorry. A large vanity with spacious under-cabinet and over-cabinets is a must-have. Everyone has their own routines and bathroom accessories. If you skimp on organization and storage, there are always going to be new fires to put out!
4. In-house kitchen seating for a nightcap

Aside from the requisite dining room where everyone can have food together, it’s prudent that you also have in-house kitchen seating. When someone in the family wakes up during the night when the munchies hit, they shouldn’t have to use the official dining room to satisfy their cravings. Instead, they can simply sit undisturbed in the kitchen for as long as they want.
5. Door differentials

When you live with a large or growing family, door are not just portals from one space to another – they are the difference between mine and not mine. Therefore, its always good to have flexible door aesthetics to emphasize personality and customization!
