It is an oversized ottoman with a very firm filling so while the leather will soften and show signs of wear over time, the shape will remain. We just recently were gifted a leather ottoman from Article for our basement living area and I am in love with it. She uses a low planter with greenery, a stack of books, and a sculptural decor object. This is a popular design for children because it is sturdy, fits in tighter spaces (perfect for a sectional sofa), and has plenty of top surface area for a grouping of 3. Julia from Chris Loves Julia Blog, used this solid round wood coffee table in her basement. Notice the visually lighter objects are opposite each other as well as the visually heavy objects. By using 4 groupings on a round table, the objects feel more balanced because of the placement. My friend Alma styled hers using 4 groupings: a glass vase with a candle inside, a stack of books with a decorative object on top, a low bowl with an air plant in it, and a candle. In my front room, I used a low woven bowl or basket and place a few decor items inside. Round WoodĪ round wood coffee table is a great option for all age children, because there are no sharp corners! Round coffee tables can be trickier to style, so I suggest keeping it simple. Still– most of these items are not breakable, and this type of wood coffee table will stand the test of time.
The finish is varied so it hides marks well, and because of the large size, she was able to put a several stacks of books, a vase with greenery, and a low bowl. The corners are sharp though, so if you have toddlers, maybe pass on this design. Made By CarliĮureka from My Cozy Corner, used a larger wood coffee table, which by itself is pretty indestructible. My friend, Carli, made this beautiful rustic coffee table (go to her site for the DIY) and styled it similarly: stacked books, a vase, and a small decorative object. All of these items are pretty indestructible if small children come around playing with stuff (or they are too heavy to move). Below you can see I used a planter/vase, stacked books, and a small bowl. But we have had this coffee table for 4 years now and I’ve only needed to touch up the legs with paint a couple times.īecause this coffee table is long and skinnier, I like to either have a tray (with books and beads) and a vase, or a group of 3 objects.
Because I built it and finished it, I know what to use if touch-ups are necessary, and if something devastating happened to it, I know it can be re-built easily and inexpensively. Rectangular WoodĪ durable option for a kid-friendly coffee table will always be something made with wood, and I especially love our Modern Farmhouse Herringbone Coffee table. With all that experience, I’ve learned the best kid-friendly coffee tables AND simple ways to style them. We have tried many styles over the years and I’ve also observed designer friends with children over the years as well. If you have kids then you know finding a durable and “ouch-proof” coffee table can be a challenge.
