5 TIPS FOR CHOOSING PILLOWS WHEN YOU WANT A CHIC KID-PROOF ROOM

  1. Get a patterned pillow fabric. Marks can be camouflaged when they invariably appear, as they do.

  2. Get your pillow fabric on both sides instead of having a solid-backed option. Then should something irreparable happen, you can flip!

  3. Kid-friendly materials, could be performance, like Crypton or Sunbrella, or fabrics with synthetic fibers like polyester. Another great option is high quality velvets with a soil-resistant finish and a high durability rating.

  4. If you have linen blend fabrics, spray covers with ScotchGuard to help liquids bead up and protect against stains.

  5. Don't be afraid to invest in some beautiful pillow covers because you're teaching your kids to live with beautiful things, it will add joy to your life every time you see them, and if mom's happy, everyone's happy.
