It feels good to be raising kids in the days where more is more. Velvet is great and all but you can really only use it once or twice in a room before it starts to look like the champagne room in Vegas. Which calls for another strategy in childproofing textiles: patterns. Fortunately, these days the design world can’t seem to get enough of pattern. Patterned windows, chairs and rug? Why not throw a little on the pillows too. In full disclosure, pairing patterns can be quite a challenge. Aka, it’s not for everyone. But if you have a strong sense of design confidence or a designer helping, nothing helps hide the spills better.
