Your lifestyle, your habits and your home are just a few of the things that will need to change when you have a child, literally your whole world needs to change to accommodate the child. Small things that would never cross your mind had a child not entered your life suddenly become extremely important things that you need to change.
Prepare to have your beautiful, clean and tidy home totally transformed. That lovely glass coffee table you have is suddenly not suitable for the room, that large plasma TV is suddenly covered in sticky finger prints and the "minimalist" front room is full of toys. Even the bathroom becomes full of children's toys and bath time creams and lotions. No matter how much you have prepared for a child, or how much you think you are ready - you will be amazed how many changes you have to make around the house.
This doesn't have to be the case though! The area that most would associate with become more child friendly is the garden, however this doesn't mean it has to suddenly become a mess. By carefully selecting the contents of your garden, from the flowers and ornaments, through to the outdoor and conservatory furniture!
With small children playing in the garden, any furniture you decide to use in the garden will need to be strong, but safe enough for children to run around near - so this means no glass or metal furniture. Plastic is an alternative, however it doesn't look very classy but instead looks very cheap. If you are looking for any conservatory furniture for the garden then the best choice would usually be wicker or rattan.
Most pieces of rattan conservatory furniture are available in a range of different fabric cushions and different coloured bases so that you can give them a little bit of personalisation. The cushions normally have removable covers so these can be removed and washed quickly and easily, this means that when the children spill anything down them or they get dirty from being outside, you can simply give them a quick wash and they are as good as new.
As well as the conservatory furniture for the garden, by choosing some good quality toys for the garden, such as timber play centres rather than metal or plastic you can make the children's toys look just at home in the garden as the furniture you have chosen.
You can also get the best of both worlds by creating two separate areas within the garden, one which is a formal adult area and the other for the children to play in. This is easily done by laying a patio or creating a decked area on which you can put your conservatory furniture and sit with friends, then using the rest of the garden for the children.
