A home renovation doesn’t just affect the walls and floors—it impacts the whole family, including children and pets. Here’s how to make it smoother and safer for everyone:
Create Safe Zones: Keep one area of the home clean and liveable during works so kids and pets have a safe retreat.
Minimise Dust & Noise: Use plastic sheeting, air purifiers, and limit loud work during nap times.
Secure Tools & Materials: Store sharp tools, nails, and paint out of reach of curious little hands or paws.
Plan Outdoor Access: If your yard is under renovation, set up temporary play or potty areas.
Involve Kids in Fun Choices: Let them help pick colours or décor for their room—it makes them feel included.
Routine Matters: Stick to regular mealtimes, walks, and bedtime schedules to reduce stress for both kids and pets.
