1. Research has shown colour affects emotions, and can have a significant effect on a child’s development. Warmer colors like orange and yellow bring happiness and comfort and red has been known to increase the heart rate and therefore increase alertness and the appetite (according to Sciencing) – perfect for the kitchen then!
2. Touches like the Donna Wilson cushions add a playfulness and help to create a home that embraces children and adults alike.
3. Children have the grubbiest fingers (at least mine do!). Using bright coloured fabric will protect your furniture (and can be thrown in the wash every now and again too!).
4. Using your kitchen windowsill as a mini garden for flowers, herbs and vegetables will help your children to learn about nature and the changing seasons – and enjoy the proceeds too!
5. Children’s high chairs don’t need to be boring! I’ve always loved the Tripp Trapp chair since it grows with your child – and how funky is that retro one too?!
6. It goes without saying that kid height hooks are helpful for keeping stuff off the floor – and they can’t not notice these fabulous bright coloured Hang it All ones either. Perfect!
12. Art makes you smart! A recent study revealed that children who visit art galleries demonstrate stronger critical thinking skills, higher levels of social tolerance, greater historical empathy and a taste of museums and cultural institutions. Why not start with your own private gallery at home?! it’ll help to brighten up the room too.
What a truly inspiring home, don’t you think? It feels loved and lived in!

And for more family home inspiration I’m loving a cheerful and bright Dutch home, all things bright and beautiful in a pared back family home and a lovely light-filled Swedish family home (this last one is one of my favourites!).
If you’ve got any great tips for creating a family home I’d love to hear them!
Ha det så bra!
