child-friendly sofa: how to choose it
Buying a sofa when you have a family with (young) children isn't easy. Do you go for a beautiful sofa or a practical one that's easy to clean? Why not get the best of both worlds? We'll give you tips on choosing a child-friendly sofa.
What type of sofa do you choose with children?
First, consider – just like when buying any sofa – how much seating you need. Are your children already using their own seating, or are they a bit older and more likely to bring friends over? Also, think ahead and consider how many years you expect to use the sofa. At 4x6 sofa, you'll find modular sofas that you can assemble to your liking using separate elements. This way, you'll always have enough seating for everyone.
Next, determine what the sofa will be used for. Will the kids be using it for gaming, or will you and your family be watching TV together in the evenings? And don't forget that you might want a sofa you can relax on once the kids are in bed. For comfort and seating position, it's especially recommended to choose a sofa with firmer padding so it can withstand a few knocks.
which color and fabric are kid-proof?
Parents are often tempted to buy a leather sofa because it's supposedly easy to keep clean. But soft fabrics and materials are also easy to care for! And let's be honest: a fabric sofa is simply more comfortable to sit, lie on, and feel. We do recommend avoiding cotton, however, as stains are easily rubbed into it. But go for velvet or velour , as stains can easily be removed with the right treatment. Completely kid-proof!
Also, don't be afraid to choose light-colored fabrics and colors when you're working with children. Some stains are even less visible on light colors than on darker fabrics. The melange colors in our fabric collection are particularly recommended, such as color #09 beige melange. The combination of light and dark threads (and therefore the different color shades) makes dirty stains less noticeable.
what to do about stains on the sofa
We often hear people say they're afraid to buy a nice sofa because they're afraid it will get dirty or damaged by their children. And what on earth can you do about a stain on your sofa? The first tip we can give you for stains on your sofa: never rub! Whether you have a treated sofa or not. What can you do? Keep blotting with a dry, clean cloth—preferably white cotton. If you've purchased a stain service from us, you'll also find the multi-cleaner in your service package. This makes cleaning much easier.
What is the stain service for a 4x6 sofa?
When you purchase your new modular sofa, you can purchase a Protexx stain service for 3 years. This maintenance product helps keep your new sofa looking beautiful for longer. Protexx is a renowned brand in the field of fiber protection for upholstery fabrics. The water-based protector provides an invisible protective layer and doesn't harm the fabric. It protects against many stains, such as oil, drinks, (pasta) sauces, chewing gum, and even blood.
You'll receive the Protexx maintenance package and service certificate with your new sofa. Spray the entire sofa with the spray can immediately upon receipt. If a stain appears on the sofa in the months or years afterward, treat it yourself with the multi-purpose cleaner. If you can't remove the stain yourself, you can contact the Protexx stain service for the warranty terms and conditions.
extra tips for a kid-proof interior
In addition to a child-friendly sofa, there are more useful tips that you can apply in an interior with children.
- Provide sufficient space for walking.
- Leave enough space for the children to play. Or create a dedicated play area for the kids, so toys aren't scattered throughout the house.
- Sufficient storage space is essential for quickly retrieving toys from view. Consider large bins or practical cabinets with drawers.
- Choose flexible furniture that you can easily move.
- With separate stools and chairs you can easily create extra seating for friends who come to play.
- Ensure optimal safety: no sharp corners at child height.
