Dining Chairs

There's no need to resort to plastic folding chairs on s'mores night—with chocolate-friendly Sunbrella upholstery, you can still dine like grown-ups. Each fiber is made from solution-dyed acrylic and coated with an antistaining treatment. Hostess Chairs 5867 in Rascal White Sunbrella fabric, $590 each, leeindustries.com for store locations.

Drapes

The 100-percent-polyester fabric is durable and drapes nicely; should it start to show the effects of one too many hide-and-seek sessions, simply throw it in the washing machine. Kensho fabric in Pearl, $65 a yard, Designtex, White + One, (516) 767-2698.

Side Table

This table is made of wood, but it's sealed with a white high-gloss lacquer, so sticky smudges can be wiped off with a soft, nonabrasive cloth. Parsons desk, $279, West Elm.
