As a mom of three, a doggie mom of two, a wife, and someone who lives with her parents, I know firsthand that life is busy, beautiful, and sometimes a bit chaotic. Our homes are where all of that wonderful (and sometimes messy) life happens. At Nikki Levy Interiors, we design with real life and family in mind because we know that your home needs to work as hard as you do.
The Reality of Family Living
When you’re designing a home for a family, it’s not just about creating a space that looks good; it’s about creating a space that works for everyone who lives there. Whether it’s finding the perfect spot for your kids to do their homework, choosing materials that can withstand a bit of doggie roughhousing, or ensuring that your parents have a comfortable and accessible space to call their own, every decision we make is grounded in the reality of family living.
Having my parents live with us has given me a deeper understanding of multi-generational living. It’s about making sure everyone has their own space while still feeling connected. It’s about ensuring that every room serves a purpose, from the kids’ play areas to quiet corners where my parents can relax.
Choosing the Right Materials
When it comes to selecting materials, I’m all about finding the balance between beauty and durability. With kids and dogs running around, I know that spills, scratches, and the occasional mess are just part of the deal. That’s why we choose materials that can handle the wear and tear of everyday life.
For example, we might opt for performance fabrics on sofas and chairs—beautiful enough to look stylish but durable enough to withstand sticky fingers and muddy paws. When selecting flooring, we consider options that are easy to clean and can take a beating, like hardwood or high-quality vinyl that still looks fabulous but can handle the demands of a busy household.
Layouts That Work for Everyone
A well-designed layout is key to making a home functional for the whole family. Whether it’s an open-plan living space that allows you to keep an eye on the kids while you’re cooking dinner, or a separate playroom that keeps the toys contained, we design layouts that cater to your lifestyle.
As a mom, I know how important it is to have spaces that multitask. A dining table isn’t just a place to eat; it’s also a place where homework happens, where art projects are created, and where family game nights go down. That’s why we design spaces that are flexible and can adapt to whatever your family needs on any given day.
Bringing It All Together
Designing with family in mind means thinking about the little things that make a big difference. It’s about understanding how you live and creating spaces that make life easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable. It’s about ensuring that your home isn’t just a showpiece but a place where memories are made, where every member of the family feels at home.
At Nikki Levy Interiors, we bring all of this real-life experience into our designs. We know that a home needs to be more than just beautiful; it needs to be functional, welcoming, and resilient enough to handle whatever life throws at it. So whether you’re raising kids, living with pets, or sharing your space with extended family, we’re here to design a home that fits your life perfectly.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about how your home looks—it’s about how it lives. And we’re committed to creating spaces that do both beautifully.
