Family homes need to work hard and play hard,
meeting the varying needs of style-conscious parents,
lively toddlers and everyone else in between. In
Creative Family Home, Ashlyn Gibson explores homes that
capture the zeitgeist in family living and celebrate the
magic of childhood. Whether your family consists of a
single bouncing baby or a tribe of pre-teens, Creative
Family Home tackles both the practical and the
decorative issues and paves the way for a fun,
hard-working and creative home that grows and adapts
with your kids. The book starts by focusing on the
varying demands of family living, with suggestions for
using space creatively, colour, pattern and decoration,
living areas, sleeping spaces, bathrooms and storage.
There are also suggestions for homework and creative
zones, display, and outdoor spaces. Next, in Creative
Family Homes, Ashlyn visits real-life homes that are
notable for their fresh, irreverent take on modern
family living and draws inspiration from their varying
approaches to the multitude of demands that characterize
modern family life. Creative Family Home celebrates
modern family life, where children, from babies to
teens, are given the freedom to express themselves and
to develop their individuality within the context of an
imaginative and creative family home.
