Parents’ Retreat

A parents’ retreat is a space designed specifically for mom and dad to unwind and relax. This might include features like a large bedroom with a luxurious en-suite bathroom, a sitting area with comfortable seating and a fireplace, or even a balcony space.

Some advantages of having a parents’ retreat include:

• Creating a space where parents can escape the stresses of daily life
• Providing privacy and solitude for parents to recharge and rejuvenate
• Adding value to your home, as a parents’ retreat is often seen as a luxury feature

Kids’ Escape

On the other hand, a kids’ escape is a space designed specifically for children to play and have fun. This might include features like a playroom with plenty of toys and games, a movie theatre or a gaming area.

Some advantages of having a kids’ escape include:

• Providing a designated space for kids to play and be creative
• Helping to keep the rest of the house tidy by containing toys and activities in a specific area
• Giving kids a sense of ownership and independence by allowing them to have their own space

Making the Decision

Ultimately, the decision between a parents’ retreat and a kids’ escape will depend on your family’s unique needs and preferences. We recommend considering;

• How much time parents and children spend at home
• Whether other areas of the home could be used as a retreat or escape
• The ages and interests of your children

If you do have the space and budget you should opt to create both a parents’ retreat and a kids’ escape, so that everyone in the household can have their own space to relax and have fun.
