Say good-bye to spills and stains and hello to stain-resistant fabrics, beautiful made-to-order upholstery, machine-washable pillows, wipeable wallpapers, and durable rugs in Brooke & Lou’s Life Friendly™ collection. We know what it’s like to live a crazy life – kids and dogs running left and right, a revolving door tracking in mud, and sticky fingers painting their way onto the walls which is why we’ve developed a collection of pieces made to withstand life’s little messes and simply live through life with you.

In today’s post, we’re introducing you to what Life Friendly™ living is all about by answering some of your frequently asked questions. By the end of this post, we have a feeling you may be considering adding a Life Friendly™ touch to your home. 😉

From performance upholstery fabrics and wipeable wallpaper to durable rugs and pillows you can toss in the washing machine; Brooke & Lou’s Life Friendly™ collection takes the worry out of simply living. It is an exclusive collection of upholstery, wallpaper, pillows, rugs and home accents that are designed with B&L’s Life Friendly™ fabrics that resist stains and repel liquids (yes, even red wine!) and ultimately extend the life of your furnishings. All of our Life Friendly™ pieces have been tested and trusted by our team so you can feel confident putting them in your home!

Brooke & Lou is all about timeless, beautiful style, and with our Life Friendly™ collection, we’re making that possible. We know that furnishings and home accents can be an investment which is why we’ve curated a collection of pieces that can withstand stains, spills, and all of the little messes that come along with life. Whether you have a bustling household of ten, furry friends who like to snuggle on the couch, or simply a quiet nest – our Life Friendly™ collection takes the worry out of living with the perfect piece for every home and lifestyle.

Yes! We currently offer our exclusive Brooke & Lou prints on a variety of Life Friendly™ pieces including wallpaper, pillows, cushions and tablecloths. We are currently in the works of developing our exclusive prints onto Life Friendly™ materials for upholstery – couches, accent chairs, etc. so stay tuned!

p.s. – To clarify, you can still order Life Friendly™ upholstery – our current selection of fabrics includes beautiful neutrals, classic solids and non-exclusive prints.

With Life Friendly™ fabrics, you can say good-bye to stains and spills with our easy-to-clean materials. Cleaning methods will vary by product, but generally speaking, Life Friendly™ fabrics can be cleaned with something as simple as dish soap and water. Yes, really! Here’s a breakdown by item:

Upholstery – Accidentally spill your red wine? No problem! Grab a paper towel or a clean cloth, a glass of water, and some dish soap and gently dab the soiled area, avoiding excessive rubbing, and stains should lift.

Pillows – Similar to our upholstery, Life Friendly™ pillows can be cleaned with water and dish soap but they can also be thrown in the washing machine. Plus, they are also dryer-safe!

Wallpaper – Our Life Friendly™ wallpapers stand up to paint splats, muddy hands, and watermarks. Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. If your walls could talk, they’d thank you.

Rugs – In addition to regular vacuuming, our Life Friendly™ rugs can be cleaned with soap and water.

If we’re being honest, it’s too hard to choose! All of our Life Friendly™ pieces are a great investment for more reasons than one. Speaking for Bria, her home is filled with Life Friendly™ pieces – everything from wallpaper (installed in her dining room, laundry room, and all of the bedrooms!) and rugs to upholstery and pillows. If you’re curious about incorporating Life Friendly™ pieces into your home but aren’t quite ready to pull the trigger, we offer fabric and wallpaper samples in-store and online to help ease the decision-making process. However, a great way to start adding Life Friendly™ pieces into your home is with pillows. Almost everyone on our team owns a Brooke & Lou pillow combination! All of Brooke & Lou’s exclusive pillows are Life Friendly™ which means they’re easy to clean (machine washable!) and resist stains and spills – yes, please!
