Beyond their decorative function, items such as rugs, cushions, and blankets are key tools for their development.

Choosing suitable, hypoallergenic, and easy-care materials is essential to ensure their well-being and peace of mind.

Tips for choosing children's clothing
Always prioritize natural materials like cotton, as they are breathable and soft against the skin. For rugs, make sure they have a short pile for easy cleaning and a non-slip backing to prevent accidents. Combine different pieces within the same color palette to create a harmonious environment, but don't hesitate to mix textures to enrich the child's sensory experience. For babies, muslin swaddles are an excellent choice due to their lightness and breathability.
