Keep It Friendly
Kid-friendly, that is. Designing a home with small children in mind is never easy, especially when the desire is to maintain a level of style. Thankfully, it’s mostly about the small changes, and it’s simply understanding one’s plan of attack and mixing it within the overall scheme. Day first addressed all those superfluous items, boxing accessories she could do without to avoid enticing curious fingers. “I’ve incorporated a much more minimalist look,” says Day; her current place is noticeably pared down in comparison with her pre-Olivia Park Avenue apartment. One must also take into consideration space itself: at two years old, Olivia is eager to stretch her growing legs, so when Day plunked down a two-piece coffee table in the middle of the living room, it felt constricting for Olivia. Our pictures show the table together, although Day filled us in that she generally keeps one piece of the table on each side of the couch, repurposing them as two side tables.
