There\u2019s decorating a bedroom, and then there\u2019s decorating a kid\u2019s bedroom. And the latter can feel a bit daunting and overwhelming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are so many factors to consider. Like budget both now and in the future. And flexibility so you can easily adjust to that future and the changing needs of your family. There\u2019s safety \u2014 of course \u2014 not just the basics like sharp corners and the like. You\u2019re also a conscious parent looking to surround your child with safe, non-toxic things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And there are the fundamentals of making sure however you design your child\u2019s room, it\u2019s up to the demands of children on fabrics and furniture. And, finally, if at all possible, is there really a way to do all that and still have a fashionable space? Emphatically, yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We get it. And we\u2019re here to simplify things a bit. Today we\u2019ll talk through how to choose the right upholstery fabrics for your child\u2019s bedroom and offer you ideas on what fabrics you might really love. Today we\u2019ll tackle everything you need to know about choosing fabrics that have the functionality you need and<\/em><\/strong> fashion you\u2019ll love for your kids\u2019 rooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What do upholstery fabrics in a child\u2019s room need to be able to do? In the end, the performance needs aren\u2019t wildly different than in other well-used spaces in your home. Just exponentially more so. You need fabrics that are durable use after use, stainproof (or at least super<\/em> stain resistant), puncture and tear-resistant, and easy to clean and maintain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because \u2014 let\u2019s face it \u2014 while we know your kids are amazing, they will absolutely spill, poke, bounce, pull, slide, punch, and put fabrics to the test in a million other ways you didn\u2019t see coming. No worries. You live in the 21st century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Leather<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Didn\u2019t see that one coming, did you? Well, leather<\/a> is a hide, and hide is made to last and is durable as all get out. In addition to durability, it\u2019s often soft, easy to clean, and ages with grace and character. It can be pricey in that you-get-what-you-pay-for sort of way but pricey nevertheless. And it\u2019s not ideal for clawed pets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faux leather and vinyl<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If leather sounds amazing but a bit outside your budget or you\u2019d prefer something with a similar feel but made of different materials, recycled leather and vinyl<\/a> are for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Recycled leather is just what it sounds like, it\u2019s unused bits plus synthetics give it leather texture and softness but the durability of vinyl. And speaking of vinyl, available in a variety of textures and styles, vinyl is the undisputed superhero of durability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Can it leap a tall building in a single bound? Not so much. But your kids can use the heck out of it, and it\u2019ll be just fine. And clean-up? Just wipe and vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Woven fabrics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wait, (you might be thinking) we didn\u2019t talk about how all those woven fabrics perform. Why\u2019s that? Because, again, 21st century. Yes, all those fabrics offer high degrees of performance on their own. But also they\u2019re available in Crypton<\/a> or Sunbrella<\/a> \u2014 or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gone are the days of endlessly Scotchguarding your furniture. Thanks to fabrics like Crypton and Sunbrella, non-toxic fade, stain, mildew, and bacteria resistance are built<\/a> into fabrics at a fiber level and in an array of textures, patterns, and styles. Problem solved. On to fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you know a bit about the limits of your options (um, there aren\u2019t any), you\u2019re ready to dig into the design of your space and give it the style vibe that fits your home and your child. Here, the first thing to keep in mind is it\u2019s about function and feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How does it need to function? You might want to consider durability and playfulness as the priorities for a baby or young child. Changing table? Try a textured faux leather vinyl in joyous aqua<\/a> color or recycled leather in clean and crisp white<\/a>. Add a storage bench<\/a> in a play area or window nook and upholster it in a fun and flexible gem<\/a>-patterned Sunbrella jacquard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Take the room of an older child contemporary with a headboard upholstered with an abstract geometric pattern in eco-friendly powder<\/a> blue linen and a duvet cover in denim<\/a> \u2014 both versatile enough to work for a variety of ages. Or go funky and fun with a faux animal print like jaguar<\/a> performance-grade microsuede. Bring sophistication and elegance with lilac<\/a> purple velvet and a bed with a sheer canopy in ice<\/a> white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a reading chair for you with your little one and later just for them. Outfit it in a cozy burgundy<\/a> microsuede or a cool and calming meadow<\/a> tweed. Do the same for a matching ottoman footrest (also an extra seat). Or let it stand out in boldly patterned coral<\/a> damask Crypton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use the relative ease and small expense of changing out curtains and throw pillows<\/a> as time goes on. Like sheer<\/a> curtains for a bright and airy space. Or heavy drapery<\/a> for when privacy is more the priority. And throw pillows in pretty much any fabric you (or your child) love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The point of it all is that \u2014 thanks to the advanced fabric options available today \u2014 whatever style you or your child want for their bedroom is possible. Without fear of the fabrics being wrecked five minutes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A little bonus tip courtesy of an HGTV post<\/a> that caught our eye (especially slide 12). Their basic idea is to go with a king-size bed in your primary bedroom. The thinking is you\u2019ll have the space for actually enjoying<\/em> unexpected visits from little ones having a bad dream, worried about thunder, or just want some snuggle time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We think that\u2019s genius. We\u2019ll add the upholstery design perspective to that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Set aside the thought of approaching the interior design of any space in your home differently than your children\u2019s room. Because \u2014 as you know by now \u2014 the performance<\/a> fabrics are out there to suit virtually any style need. And is there really any space in your home you\u2019re cool with having furniture that can be ruined by simply, ya\u2019 know, using it? We didn\u2019t think so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So when you\u2019re ready to think limitless with your children\u2019s bedroom and the rest of your home. We\u2019ve got the fabrics<\/a> you need, the experts<\/a> to show you the way, and the help<\/a> to make it seem like child\u2019s play.
