4 Tips for a Stylish Kid-Friendly Living Room!

When you have kids your whole life changes, including the look and feel of your home. From toys to stains, and child-proofing electrical sockets, you may feel like you can no longer have a stylish home anymore. However, with a little planning and creativity, you can STILL have a stylish living room that is both stylish and functional when you have small children. Check out Eldon Furniture's awesome tips for a stylish, yet kid-friendly living room!


Choose Furniture with Built-In Storage 

When you have little ones, they tend to drag all their toys out. A great way to store away toys out of sight out of mind is to get creative with storage solutions. Purchase a coffee table and end tables with deep drawers to store away toys when they are not being played with. If you have a big comfy chair or sectional, purchase a stylish ottoman that has storage space inside! Having accessible storage in your living room will allow for easy cleanup.

Choose Stain-Resistant Fabrics 

Let's face it, spills WILL happen. It doesn't matter how hard you try when you have children something is bound to be spilled at some point or another. This is why you should choose materials for your living room furniture that are stain resistant. Leather furniture is a great option because when something gets spilled, it can easily be wiped off. If you're not a huge fan of leather, consider purchasing furniture that is dark in color or has a pattern. That way when a spill happens, you can clean it up and if a stain is left behind it won't be that noticeable.

Choose Rounded or Plush Tables 

When your kids start walking, it is almost inevitable that they will fall. If you have coffee tables and end tables that are square with pointed edges you risk them falling and getting hurt. Instead, consider getting tables that have rounded edges. Sure, this won't 100% protect them from getting hurt but it will better than hitting their head on a pointed corner. Another option is to get rid of the coffee table entirely and replacing it with an ottoman. This will not only be safer for the kids, it will also add style to your living room.




Choose Kid-Friendly Flooring 

Again, spills will happen. That is just part of it when you have kids. Choose a flooring that will wash easily. Great stain resistant flooring includes tile, wood, laminate, and vinyl. Carpet typically isn't the best choice when you have children. Eldon Furniture recommends vinyl flooring because you can purchase vinyl flooring that looks like beautiful wood flooring but it is waterproof, which is perfect when you are raising a family. Stop by our Eldon Furniture and check out our great selection of flooring at the Lake of the Ozarks.



Just because you have small children does not mean that you have to sacrifice a beautiful stylish living room. Simply get creative with storage solutions and stain-resistant fabrics and flooring! When you are ready to kid-proof your living room in a way that is adult approved too, come by the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks, Eldon Furniture! We have a large selection of furniture that is perfect for giving your living room a kid-proof make-over!
