The Chic, Kid-friendly Dining Room Setup

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2018

Kids and fragile stuff just don’t mix. Any parent would be able to attest to this. These little ones go from room to room running, walking, teasing, and whatnot. And the family dining room could be one of those areas that can take the abuse that such activities can do. If you have little ones, it’s time to rethink what are and what are not acceptable inside the dining area in terms of furnishings and décor.

Dining Tables, Chairs, and Materials for Homes with Kiddos

Old designs are amazing when you have to set up a dining area with kids to consider. Find a table that can sustain the rigors of a kid’s lifestyle. It must have a spacious tabletop, preferably with a rich wood grain so that it still looks stylishly simple while being able to take whatever battery it’s going to go through soon.

Buying this important piece of dining room furniture isn’t as easy as when you don’t have kids to consider. Most dining tables come with delicate surfaces and even sharp edges. These are the very things that should be avoided by a family that has growing kids. You wouldn’t want those cute little fingers hurt.

A child-friendly dining table can be as stylish as the Lorts Manufacturing Dining Room Square-to-Round Table Top 1173 –

Don’t think, though, that your choices are limited to just the plain ones. You can still have a chic table in your dining room without having to worry about any mishaps. You can also go for the long tables complete with equally long benches such as this Winners Only Dining Room 84 Inches Leg Table and its accompanying chairs and bench –

This collection is perfect for a home with kids because it comes with strong designs. It features hardwoods and birch. It is also stylish with its two-tone finish and distressed look. It’s the most charming and simple dining set that you could get.

The key here is to look for materials that are durable. Step away from anything that’s made of glass or ceramic. If you really have to have ceramic, then be sure to have the coated surface type.

Find the ones that are scratch, fade, and heat-resistant. Pick a darker-colored table or have a light-colored table stained to hide inevitable spillages or those probable crayon mishaps.

It would be practical to purchase a dining table that will last through the years, preferably, one that could also grow with the kids. After all, those playdates, as well as surprise friendly visits, should be readily accommodated by your family.  If you can find a table with a butterfly mechanism such as this Winners Only Dining Room 78-inches Table with 18-inch Butterfly leaf then that would also be a wonderful deal –

Rattan is also an amazing material for kid-friendly zones whether we’re talking about the living room or the dining area. You can shop for bamboo chairs that would still look great in your dining room. Just because you have kids in your home does not mean that you have to give up on style. This is the most laidback that your style could get but it is still, nevertheless, modish.

If you’re not a fan of rattan, then just be sure to shy away from anything that’s upholstered for now. Instead, use canvas slipcovers that can still provide your dining chairs with the needed updated, fresh look.

Lastly, be sure to cap the style that you have created with an area rug that’s both chic and durable. All in all, you have a win-win dining area that’s both safe for your kids yet still visually enticing.
