Comfort should be a top priority in any family home. This means ensuring that everyone has a comfortable place to sit, relax and sleep. Consider investing in comfortable and supportive furniture, such as sofas, armchairs and beds. Make sure that you have enough seating for everyone in the house, so that everyone has their own space to relax. Invest in cosy soft furnishings like pillows, cushions and rugs, and create ambiance with scent using candles and reed diffusers. Home should always feel like the most comfortable place in the world. 

Keeping your home clean and tidy can be a real challenge, especially when you have kids and pets. So, it's important to make your home as easy to clean as possible. Consider using hard-wearing materials for flooring and surfaces that are easy to clean and maintain. Opting for a style thats minimal while still being homely can help- go with decor pieces that are bigger to make a statement. They're easier to clean around than lots of fussy smaller pieces that can trap dirt and dust. 

Good storage is essential in a family home. To make the most of your storage space, consider investing in smart and efficient storage solutions, such as shelving units, wardrobes and under-bed storage. In the kitchen, shelving to create a pantry can help, and add things like hooks to doors to maximise the vertical space. When everything has a place, it's easier to tidy up after yourself and you always know where things are meaning everything at home just runs much more smoothly. 

Smart home technology can make life a lot easier for families. From controlling the temperature and lighting in your home to setting up reminders and alarms, there are many ways that you can use smart home technology to make your life easier. For example, you can use smart home devices to control the heating and cooling in your home. This means that you can adjust the temperature remotely, handy for setting the heating to come on before you arrive home on those cold days!
