The waning summer vacation can not only be used for family fun but for projects that help kids look forward to success in school in the fall, as well. As a designer for over four decades, I have often seen the positive results of creating a home environment that promotes good habits and focus. When I create kids’ rooms, for example, I always include them. I want them to feel a part of the selection process as well as to take ownership of their space. After all, their room is their home within your home. It should fulfill their needs and make them happy and comfortable in their own space helping them to learn, think and create. That’s why I often encourage families that are moving to a new home to “do” kids’ rooms first to help them transition well.
