Designing and decorating a home is hard enough without children thrown into the mix – but once you have them, there are so many more things and factors you need to consider. Of course, if you’re an interior designer, all of this comes much easier to you – but if you aren’t, don’t worry, because I asked five interior designers that are also parents about how they’ve made their homes more child-friendly. And they had quite a lot to say on the matter.

As you probably know yourself, since you’re reading this piece, children don’t tend to care about damaging, denting or staining anything that appears in their path. So whether you’re looking for clever family living room ideas or toy storage ideas in order to find creative solutions for concealing their play things all over the home, it’s nothing that these interior designers haven’t thought of before when it came to their own homes and their own kids. So who better to take advice from than them?
