Sofas & Chairs for Kids

Decorating a child's room with sofas and chairs designed for them not only makes for a more attractive space, but also creates a space that's more than just a place for your child to sleep and store toys. Styles of kid's sofas and chairs run the gamut from simple and contemporary to eye-catching and kitschy.
  1. Chaise Lounges For Kids

    • Chaise lounges are an elegant variant of the common sofa that allow a person to sit up against a high backrest on one side of the lounge and lay out comfortably. Traditionally, they have a soft velvet or velour seating and backrest area, framed in by a decorative curving wood frame. Some models of chaise lounges for children have more in common with traditional household sofas, as is the case with the Giftmark Upholstered Chaise Lounge. Cool Kids Chairs offers what can be more accurately defined as a tinier version of a true chaise lounge, such as its Kids Princess Chaise Lounge model.

    Fold-Out Couches For Kids

    • Traditional fold-out sofas for children are as practical and handy as they are cute. These work in the same fashion as an adult fold-out sofa, though often without the metal framework that offers support and enables the folding and unfolding of the bed. A good example of a fold-out couch for children is the Flip Flop Sofa, manufactured by Griffin and Rose. While the main body of the sofa consists of a wooden frame covered in a faux suede upholstery, the fold-out portion of the couch is simply a foldable, segmented foam mattress.

    Armchairs With Ottomans For Kids

    • A kid's armchair and ottoman set works for a child who likes to read, providing a special spot for perusing a good book. Some children's armchair and ottoman sets are clearly marketed toward children, not only in the size of the furniture but the design. Examples include the Minnie Mouse chair and ottoman offered by Harmony Kids. Other kid-oriented sets are decidedly more elegant and adult, such as the faux-leather upholstered club chair and ottoman offered by Bob's Discount Furniture.

    Recliner Chairs For Kids

    • Recliner chairs designed for children work for seating little ones in front of favorite TV shows and movies. As with the other types of children's seating, styles for these types of kid's chairs fall under either the flamboyantly designed or the elegant-though-small. An example of the former are the superhero and Disney character-themed recliners offered by Hayneedle. An example is the Ace Bayou Saratoga kids vinyl recliner, a no-frills contemporary design that comes in a solid red color.
