Painting the furniture all the same color and then using ink or paint in a contrasting color to stamp the same design on each piece of furniture will unify the decor theme.

Using the same fabric to cloak or upholster the chairs, and then using that fabric as a border on the table cloth and runners for the china cabinet will originate a consistent theme as well.

When choosing furniture for your babies, toddlers, and kids, you have several things to keep in mind. How profitable is this product? Does it meet the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC ) safety guidelines? That may not be enough. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) sets a higher safety standard for certification than the CPSC does. The JPMA certified product index gives you a constantly updated list of manufacturers of JPMA-certified baby cribs.
But is that enough? While JPMA may certify that there is no lead in the furniture paint, there may be other toxic substances that JPMA doesn’t check for, and are not regulated in the industry. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde are found in many conventional paints, paint strippers, varnishes, furniture oils, caulking, glues, adhesives, and wood preservatives. You need to check what emissions are wafting out of the furniture with the cute decorations. There is nothing cute about sick babies.
The other thing you need to consider is how easy it will be to well-organized the furniture. Juveniles are not sterile beings; you will be doing lots of wiping, moping, and disinfecting. Take that into account when you resolve furniture. Is it easy to well-organized underneath? Does it have molding and decorative grooves that will be difficult to scrub? Where might the germs and dust shroud from you? Choosing kid’s furniture is all about foresight and prevention.
