children’s furniture - ...Browsing by tag

Not so long ago children’s furniture was clunky, predictable and mostly a cliche. Not any more. Design- conscious consumers spurred the furnishings industry to introduce multiple models for all tastes.

I think it’s important to keep safety on the forefront of your selections along with practicality. So consider wide seats, sturdy frames and durable finishes to minimize wear and tear.

My favorite for all the parents with pink in their homes is the Lou Lou Ghost Chair by Philippe Starck for Kartell. Offered in numerous shades it can work equally well for boys or girls.

LouLou Ghost Chair

For a modernist interpretation check out the NotNeutral BB2 chair. It features stain resistant paint and exposed rivets. The angled legs keep it firmly on the floor and difficult to tip over.

Great for outdoors or indoors, the Panton Junior by Vitra from Kid O is an icon. A nice feature allows these chairs to be stacked. The curves soften the design so no sharp points interfere with play.

Youngsters need space. The secret is not the size of the room but how well it is furnished. The bedrooms of the GAB collection have been studied to leave room for creativity, mixing style and functionality. Whether it provides a lively personality to the bedroom or finds the best solution for a bedroom for two, GAB is capable of satisfying all the needs for design and practicalities. For the first time aimed at single youngsters who feel the need for independence and choose to live in their own space in complete liberty.

The pictured bedroom adds an organization system that’s age appropriate. A bedroom should be peaceful and that translates into uncluttered. I feel it’s important to keep everything organized and it also starts training habits of organization and neatness for parent and child.

Select organization bins so that they’re appropriate for the child who will be using them. For small children, organizational bins should be low to the ground.
