If you’re currently on the lookout for your next family home or you’ve bought your dream home recently, it’s important to think about the features it needs.

There are a lot of essentials when living in a family home such as more than one toilet between the family as well as plenty of storage space – but today we want to talk more about the fun features that will make a house feel more like an amazing home.

Fun Features Every Family Home Should Have #1

A Breakfast Bar

The first feature you should consider bringing into your home this year is a breakfast bar. A breakfast bar is typically situated in the kitchen of the home, and it’s an ideal spot for your family to sit casually over breakfast or brunch.

Suitable for small children in highchairs, it will be important to be mindful of toddlers as they grow and learn to climb kitchen stools. And as your children become teenagers – rather than sitting in the dining room, or even in front of the TV for lunch, consider sitting at the “The Breakfast Bonding Bar” and talking to each other about your day.

Sidenote: Not only does the breakfast bar open opportunities for family bonding, but sitting up straight at a table is better for your digestion too, so it’s a win win!

A Jacuzzi Bath

Your bathroom is a room in the house which should be relaxing and used for self care. That’s why a great idea this year is to install a jacuzzi bath and really up your self care game. This will be super fun for the kids when playing during bath time and for you it will provide the perfect escape, if fleeting, from the stresses of parenthood. As well as this consider adding a waterfall shower head to the room and this will give you the perfect spa like feeling every time you go for a wash.

Fun Features Every Family Home Should Have #5

A Trampoline

One of the best feelings as a child was heading to that one friend’s house who had a trampoline. Trampolines are super fun, and are the perfect excuse to get the kids outside and playing with each other, and their friends.

Although trampolines are definitely not easy on the eye and take up a lot of space in your garden, trampolining offer hours of enjoyment for your children. And it’s the perfect place for your littles to bounce away any pent-up wildness or excessive energy (better the soft netting of the trampoline, than your walls and sofa!). So if you have the space in your garden, consider bringing a trampoline into it.

A Pizza Oven

For those of you who love nothing more than to host parties in the garden during the summer months, there is no better gadget to bring into your space than a pizza oven.

A pizza oven can be added as an extension to a brick barbecue and it will instantly vamp up your garden party game for the better. If this is too permanent, you can always purchase a portable pizza oven – there are lots on the market, with some that actually work on top of your BBQ!

A pizza oven is a fun way to cook and everyone can make their own personal pizzas and watch them cook as they soak in the sun, or watch it set.
