Kids add a lot to our lives, but sometimes they can make things extra complicated too. Home design and decor is no exception 👶👧🧒

If you’re a parent (with human or animal children) you're probably already wary of all-white furniture, sharp corners, and slippery floors. But we've got some slightly more obscure design tricks for you that can help you have a kid-friendly, clean home 🏠

1️⃣ Avoid Textured Knobs: These make beautiful additions to a space, but the tiny grooves mean that they're notoriously difficult to keep clean. Trust us when we say, dried-out Play-Doh will cling to them like glue following your little artist’s creative endeavors 😅

2️⃣ Outdoor Rugs + A Waterproof Pad: You've got your outdoor rug ready to take on any mess your kids (or pets) could make. But most outdoor rugs don't actually prevent liquids from soaking through to the floor beneath 😱 Be sure to put a waterproof pad underneath your rug if you want to protect your floors

3️⃣ Make Friends with Your Local Rug & Upholstery Cleaner: Stains are inevitable, it's best to just accept it. But luckily getting your rugs and sofa professionally cleaned isn't actually that expensive! For around $250 you can get large sectional and about 800 square feet of carpet cleaned! 🧼

Want more tips for creating a beautiful yet child (and pet) friendly space? Check out our blog (link in bio!) we've got tons of resources for you!

“Taylor helped us make changes that had a major impact on not only the design, but the way our house looks and feels. It feels like us now – our home.”- Gillian H., Los Angeles

We love helping our clients create homes that feel like them! Our goal is to create homes that support our clients' families and their lives 💙🏠

So excited to have been included in "The 10 Most Popular Living Rooms of 2020" from Houzz! 😊 🎉

Our featured living room included a vaulted ceiling with shiplap and beautiful wooden beams. The high ceiling, gray walls and tall windows give the room a spacious and airy feel. Then we finished it off with some greenery 🌱 (that gorgeous fiddle-leaf fig! 😍) to add some life to the space.

Do you prefer more neutral tones 🤍 or bold colors 💜 for your living room?

Interior design is highly personal - as your designer, we know where and how you eat, sleep, shower, and live 🏠

We know a ton about our clients but it's important that our clients know who we are too! 😁 So this week we wanted to introduce you to one of our incredibly personable, honest, and talented designers, Taylor! 💫

Taylor has been with Coddington Design since its inception in 2005. After establishing herself in San Fransico 🌉 she moved to Los Angeles 🌇 to start her family and took Coddington Design with her, expanding our project list across the state to sunny Southern California.

As a mom of two young daughters 👯‍♀️ Taylor is exceptionally astute at designing for busy families and working moms

Wanna know more about Taylor? Check out our latest blog post where we ask her all about life, work, and the cat patio she has at home 🐱🐈

Celebrating 💖Valentines Day💖 a little early with a throwback to our rosé lounge in the @sfshowcase

Scroll to see Melanie and Taylor, two of our designers, enjoying the showcase 🥂🍾

Happy early Valentine’s Day 💖and Happy #lunarnewyear 🧧

Wondering how you can give your powder room an update?

Our answer: Wallpaper

Wallpaper can make all the difference and take your powder room from dull to WOAH

Nothing transforms a space more dramatically than a bold wallpaper. With countless designs and even removable wallpaper options on the market, it’s easier than ever to elevate a drab, dark space into something eye-catching, artistic, and unique.

“Design is global, it’s cultural, it’s the story of all humans; how we live, how we create. There is absolutely no excuse for any publication not to have a variety of cultures represented in an issue, and a variety of thoughts and distinctive backgrounds.” —Jeanine Hays, AphroChic

When you look around your home do you see a cohesive design style? Or is it a jumbled mess without a clear design direction? 😬

You've got that old thrifted table from college next to grandma’s antique sideboard and then there are those mismatched storage baskets filled with Legos and CD’s from the 90s (it’s okay, we’re all guilty of it 😅)

That’s why our number one tip when tackling a redesign is to define your style before you start. If you know exactly what you’re looking for, it will help narrow down your choices and the design process more enjoyable 💁‍♀️

When we start a new design project, one of the first things we do is help our clients define their style with our ✨ Style Quiz ✨ (link in bio!)

If you're clearly Refined Lux 💋 we won’t waste your time shopping for farmhouse lanterns or mid-century coffee tables. If you know you're Colorful Creative 🌈 we'll steer clear of suggesting natural linens and all-white kitchens. This helps save time, money, and creates a more put-together, Pinterest-worthy look for your home.

Tell us your design style! 👇 👇👇 Is it mid-century modern? Colorful creative? Or something totally different?
