A kids friendly house, with your Womb Chair

To have a kid - proof home can a titanic task. Kids and pets are a powerful force inside our houses and their boundaries are always blurry. The best approach to have a happy kids & pets home is to consider them as an integral element of its design. Interior Design is about real people, and real families living under the same roof.

Security is the main concern.

If we are not careful, we may introduce some risky elements or materials into our homes, that may put our kids in some risk.

Crystal, glass furniture should be avoided or used with extreme precaution. Some models of crystal top tables in the market keep the safety as a design priority. That is the case of the  Barcelona Table. Its glass top is a solid piece of tempered glass 3/4″ thick with a polished 1/8″ beveled edge that is easy to clean, wipe only. The glass is held in place on the frame by 4 clear rubber bumpers that support it. Nevertheless its your final decision to use crystal as a material. Same happens with crystal panoramic windows. Its highly recommended to examine the manufacturer specifications.

Some people enjoy sculptures and solid art in tables or stands. With kids and pets, you must be alert of factors like weight, angles with the potential risk of encounter or fall apart.

At the same time, round furniture with soft edges, no corners/angles, is better.

The Fabrics/leather dispute over furniture and kids:

From time to time, there are questions on the web about what its better for our furniture. Fabric furniture, with materials as microfiber, linen or velvet is on high demand right now, with people looking for colorful pieces. Nevertheless, in a house with kids & pets the risk of spills on the fabrics is permanent, and it demands to take off the upholstery off from time to time and washing it. But even doing that, the frequency of washing may deteriorate your fabric in the long term.

Leather, on the other hand, is the winner absolute. Has an easier maintenance, is resistant and kids love its feeling. So, leather sofas (like the  Barcelona Sofa ) may perform better with kids and pets.

The Womb Chair, a great new member of the family.

But everything is not about safety and discipline. There are pieces of furniture designed with all family in mind, like the  Womb Chair . Very colorful, endurable, and very attractive for the little ones of the house.

To feel that you are sitting on a "basket full of cushions", like Florence Knoll once demanded is a great virtue of the  Womb Chair , no doubt about it . But that's not the only one. The versatility of the design of this furniture favorite, make it great for any kind of spaces, and that is the case in a family home.
