A white couch is a stunning centrepiece for any living room. Its clean lines and crisp look bring a sense of elegance and luxury to any space. I have been wanting one for the past three years and finally we have one from Cozey.ca. Lots of people have asked me how we will manage with kids. Fear not! With a few tips and tricks, you can keep your white couch kid-friendly and looking its best.
Choose the right fabric
The first step in keeping your white couch kid-friendly is to choose the right fabric. Look for durable, stain-resistant fabrics that are easy to clean.
Use throw blankets and pillows
Another way to keep your white couch looking its best is to use throw blankets and pillows. These items add warmth and comfort to your living room, but they also provide a protective layer that can help prevent spills and stains. Plus, by using different colors and textures, you can add a pop of personality and style to your couch. We have decided to keep a throw on the seat of our couch and I’m totally fine with that. It’s a small compromise to keep the couch clean with kids.
Create a designated snack zone
This one is so important. To prevent spills and stains on your white couch, create a designated snack zone in your living room. This could be a small table or tray where your kids can eat their snacks or drinks without risking a spill on the couch. We got the kids a single small couch of their own and they just love to sit under the island and eat their snacks there.
Regularly clean and maintain your couch
Finally, it’s important to regularly clean and maintain your white couch to keep it looking its best. Use a gentle cleaner to spot clean any spills or stains as soon as they happen. Vacuum your couch weekly to remove any crumbs or dirt that may have accumulated. You could also consider having your couch professionally cleaned every so often.
In conclusion, a white couch can be a beautiful and stylish addition to any living room, even with kids in the house. By choosing the right fabric, using throw blankets and pillows, creating a designated snack zone, and regularly cleaning and maintaining your couch, you can keep it kid-friendly and looking its best for years to come. We are so happy with ours and I can’t wait to share more style tips with you. For more thoughts on Cozey, check out this post.
