Recently the game got a nice update which gave us toddlers!!!
So I've used this opportunity to create a nice apartment for a family with a nice couple of kids around.
For this setting I've let myself be inspired by a comfortable house setting in a slight uptown neighborhood. Medium class I suppose, going towards higher class.
The apartment's design and interior is open for personal touches and ideas.
The entrance:
The entrance is quite simple, since the space here isn't enormous.
If you'd fill this up with a lot of things, it would tend to feel a bit cramped.
The use of soft colors and a light wooden floor, gives decoration options free range.
Here you might add a shelf or a nice painting or two to give it more character.
The living room:
The nice blue wall makes a perfect modern eyecatcher for this place and sets the tone for a nice colorsceme. This apartment has slight modern influences and the use of colors is not too bold.
Nice and tidy, to keep the place a bit more relaxed with busy toddlers/children around.
Some solid furniture is all this place really needs, white/black works nice here!
The dining room:
This part of the apartment is actually an open design, so the living and dining are in the same area.
The use of carpets gives it a nice bonding feeling, while leaving enough space to make the dining apart from the living. For the kitchen a subtle marmer table is used with strong wooden table legs.
Some nice paintings and a wallpaper to stand out works wonderfully here. It wouldn't be a safe bet to try these different styles in one area, but go wild for a change and you'd be surprised!
The kitchen:
The kitchen of this apartement is seperated by the use of open walls. No doors in this part of the house, but that gives it an extra charm. A choice of light colors is what this smaller area needs. Since dark colors would make this feel small. A nice tile wall to contrast with the wooden counters is perfect here!
The study nook:
The cornered area behing the kitchen is the best place for a nice study area.
No distractions here and so relaxing.If you'd like, you could put a bookshelf next to the desk, so there is also the option to do some reading. A cabinet for administration work also suits here well.
The bathroom:
With a big family you would need a big bathroom. Luckily that is exactly what this apartment has to offer. Double sinks, with double mirrors. A bathtub and a shower. This bathroom has all a family would need! Natural materials give this bathroom a serene look.
Teen bedroom:
This room is nicely decorated for an independent teenager.
It has a nice view over the city and enough space to listen to music, paint, read or do homework.
If you just want to hang out with friends, that would be no problem!
Bring out some extra pillows, turn the music on and you're all set.
The toddler domain:
For this room I used the word domain, cause let's be honest, it quite is.
A seperate play area is what makes this the ideal room to keep the little ones at ease.
The bright patterns and fun environment stimulates the brains to the fullest!
A reading corner for some nice story telling and the beds are seperated by open walls.
You would be able to play a kiddie fence to keep the little ones out of the play room at night.
The Master bedroom:
This is the room for the parents to unwind from their hectic lives and just relax.
Which this room is perfect for with the nice green colors and the charming view of the city.
Where as the sun sets you can watch the beautiful skyline even more.
A desk to do some focused work on is never overrated, so no doubt this will be used a lot.
