How To Choose Furniture That Is Kid Friendly

Finding furniture can be stressful, but finding furniture that is kid friendly can be a bit more difficult because you have so many factors to consider. Is this safe? If this gets dirty, can it be cleaned easily? Let us at Cleo’s Furniture guide you and give you tips on what to consider when choosing furniture that is kid friendly. 

Dark Colors 

If you’re worried about your kids possibly spilling something or coloring on your sofas, you might want to consider a dark color for your furniture. Dark colors can hide any type of dirt and dust on your furniture. We recommend you choose something like the Wrenley 6 Pc Top Grain Leather Sectional. This sofa has a dark black wash which can camoflauge any stains that could occur. This is a great modern look that will be kid friendly. 

Texture and Covers 

Whoever said that texture does not matter, LIED! Fabric can be hard to clean up, but if you’ve got furniture that’s leather, it’s a lot easier to clean up. For fabric furniture any liquids could seep through and leave a mark. Take a look at the Levin Cocoa 3 Piece Power Sectional with Lights. This has a great leather texture that shapes the seats with its memorable stitching. It is easy to clean and has storage and USB charging ports for your electronics. 

If you do choose to still pick any fabric furniture, no worries. You can always get a slipcover. Slipcovers make cleaning up easier and more convenient. If you choose not to get a slipcover, you can always clean the furniture yourself using simple spot-cleaning products or hire a professional cleaning service to do it for you. Always research and follow the cleaning methods released by the manufacturer of your furniture before attempting to treat a stain yourself. 

Forget the Table 

Coffee and end tables give a living room that nice touch. They give you room to put your drink, food, and even kick your feet up if you want. The downside of a table in a room? A kid could be running around and hurt themselves because they tripped over the table or if you’ve got a glass table its’ bound to break easily. So, what can you replace the table with but still keep the functionality? An ottoman. Ottomans can serve many purposes besides giving the room a great touch and feel. It offers a table, foot rest, and storage unit all in one. Check out this Zaftig Ebony Ottoman. With ottomans it gives a softer feel and less of a worry about a child breaking a table or hurting themselves.
