A child friendly garden: a place for the whole family

Creating a child-friendly garden is especially crucial with young children. Safety is, of course, essential, but there's more to consider. Not only should the kids have a place to play without worry, but you should also be able to enjoy the garden yourself. A space where you can let the kids play without worries is just as important as a place for your own relaxation. As your children grow older, your garden should continue to bring you joy.

When designing your garden, keep in mind that it doesn't have to consist entirely of tiles or concrete. Grass provides a soft surface, offering ample space for safe play. For older children, wood chips can be a nice variation. With these surfaces, your child-friendly backyard will have a natural appearance. By creating different areas, the kids will know where they can and cannot play. Try to keep the garden as level as possible to prevent tripping.

Seating for children

The Utah garden chair from our collection is perfect as a children's garden chair. The upholstery and design reduce the chances of them hurting themselves on sharp edges. Moreover, you can easily clean the plastic seat, and the chair's rounded shapes look very stylish. Additionally, place a garden bench near a garden table where the children can sit. This way, they have their own spot during meals. Make the bench extra comfortable and cozy by adding garden bench cushions.

Another lovely addition to your garden set is a pouf. For children, a pouf is a delightful seat, and you can use it as a comfortable footrest.

High coffee table

When choosing a table for your lounge set, think about the children too. For example, a high coffee table makes it easier for them to do crafts or have a snack. All high coffee tables are easy to maintain and simple to clean, which is incredibly useful with kids!

Additionally, our collection offers tables that are adjustable in height. With these tables, you can easily adjust the tabletop's height when the kids are sitting at the table. We offer various options for adjustable tables. Choose from various shapes and materials for the tabletop that best suits your taste and matches the rest of your garden furniture.

Guaranteed shade with a parasol

It's essential that kids are well-protected from the sun, especially during the hottest part of the day. Make sure they are properly sunscreened and provide enough shade in the garden. For instance, opt for a cantilever or freestanding parasol to create shade.

A cantilever parasol is convenient because the mast is positioned to the side, allowing you to have meals under the parasol. As the sun moves, you can easily tilt the parasol to ensure continuous shade. A freestanding parasol is lightweight, so you can easily place it where the children play and where shade is desired. At Life, you'll find extra-large parasols up to 4 meters wide! To add a fun atmosphere to the garden, use a parasol speaker to play the kids' favorite music. Joy guaranteed!
