Got Kids? I've Got the Scoop on the Best Fabrics For Families

I have an all white kitchen–and two children under the age of 6–so I have to clean, a lot. BUT, the beauty of my kitchen is that I have wipe-able, vinyl (faux leather) chairs that can take the lasagna that is smeared across the seat by tiny fingers and the brownie crumbs that get smashed.

That said, here are some of my favorite indoor/outdoor and vinyl fabrics to use throughout your home that are durable and beautiful. Whether you have kids or not, these fabrics can be both the “brains and beauty” of your home!

1. From Calico Corners, this gorgeous green trellis indoor/outdoor fabric is just $26.99 a yard and also comes in 3 other colors.
