Give the children their own place to veg out. Isac, age 1, loves to chill on floor cushions to play or flip through picture books. Bonus: more room for Mom and Dad on the couch.

The little ones will feel so grown-up sitting on this stylish mini love seat.

Kids can stash their belongings in the back of these futuristic-looking chairs.
