Apartment living with young children is easy when you remember these helpful tips!
If you are a family residing in an apartment with your young children, you might quickly start to feel crowded out by your children’s things. Children need a lot of space to play and explore, which can sometimes be difficult in an apartment you want to keep clean and tidy. To make apartment living with young children easier, consider the following tips on keeping your apartment neat and utilizing your Beechtree Apartment community’s amenities to create an enjoyable environment for your young kids.
Tips for Keeping Your Apartment Tidy
Wherever a kid goes, their toys will follow. Kids are also more likely to create and spread messes. Managing messes from toys and snacktime can be done with a few design tips.
- Use a couch cover: While your children are young, a sensible, washable couch cover may help you avoid long-term damage on your family’s couch. This way, your children can enjoy the living room, but you don’t have to worry about spills or crumbs staining your furniture.
- Everything has its place: Make sure every item–especially toys, children’s bath time accessories, and more–has a designated location in your apartment. Assigning certain shelves or creating cubbies for your kids can help you and your kids remember where things belong.
- Organize toys: Shelves, bins, or plastic containers can organize children’s toy collections. Create a system with your child so they feel involved!
- Separate essentials: If your child has toys or items they use frequently, keep those items in an accessible place so they’re always handy.
- Establish a catchall: Sometimes, simply assigning a bin, bag, or bucket as your “catchall’ for all your toys or child’s items can be an easy way to clean up quickly and remember where things are.
Enjoy Your Surroundings
One of the most appealing aspects of apartment living with young children is the proximity to outdoor amenities. In your apartment community, you have lounge areas, walking paths, and recreation areas for your children to blow off steam without going far. At Beechtree Apartments, you can use your apartment’s community pool during summer to let your children enjoy healthy playtime without paying a swimming pool club fee.
Use Foam Mats
If you are concerned about your young children making loud noises while playing with their toys in your apartment, using foam mats for playtime can help. Colorful foam mats can significantly help insulate any noises created by kids knocking toys together or jumping around. Plus, they keep your floors clean and can signal to your kids where the designated play area is.
Take Advantage of Your Closet Space
The apartment homes at Beechtree Apartments come with walk-in closets, with plenty of shelving and floor storage space. You can save a lot of room in the rest of your apartment by organizing your spacious closets. Evaluate your space and consider where you may have room for toy bins or storage boxes for children’s off-season weather and accessories.
By remembering these few tips, you can make apartment living with young children easier than you ever expected.
