With all the rough and tumble that is youth, soft is greatest when it comes to furniture. I’ve come to love ottomans with storage under the pillow to hold those errant toys that seem to collect in mature spaces (or all over the home). I’ve rounded up some soft chairs which would look great in the house while catering to the requirements of your small ones. — Maddie out of Colour Me There

This snow-capped mountain beanbag is as fun for kids because it is beautiful to show. It is fantastic for a neutral-colored space.

Marimekko Junior Fatboy – $209
Nothing beats Fatboy for child-resistant seating. Their beanbags can be found in a rainbow of colors and patterns, but I am a massive fan of this bold Marimekko print.

These contemporary and brightly colored beanbags come in Mt. Fuji, Mt. Everest and Mt. Kilimanjaro layouts. They’re fantastic for the tiny explorer.
Moolka
Perform Ottoman, Yellow – $299.99
