Neutral Paint, Bold Furnishings

Allow furniture, pictures, and other non permanent decorations stand out by choosing a more neutral tone paint and carpeting. Allow your child to pick out functional and matching furniture sets in whatever bold colors they like. Help them pick out different accents to match along with their choice.

 

For something your child can grow into, help them pick out neutral accent tones. They don’t don’t just have to be white or a bold color, today you’ll find faded pinks, blues, brass, and other dulled colors that aren’t in your face but still provide something unique and timeless. This option is great for pre-teens to grow into.

 


 

Bold Paint, Neutral Furnishings

Choosing something bold for a paint or wallpaper can also be fun. Take into account the amount of light your kids room gets when choosing the color. Other new trends in paint include vertical strips. Going vertical can help make a room feel taller and allow for a more personalized dual color selection. And if you’re interested in different textures, there are multiple wallpapers that give off a great visual and physical feel.

 

When choosing something bold, it generally works great to choose something more subtle and tranquil for furnishings to counteract the boldness of the walls. Look for light natural wood finished or even white furnishings for a clean modern look.

 


 

Unique Wallpapers, Eloquent Design

For the prince or princess in your life, make sure to check out the luxurious wallpaper. They all might not be as timeless as a regular paint job, but they more than make up for the whimsy and one of a kind feel they inspire. From animals and drawings, to castles and greenery, wallpapers offer a wide range of unique choices. Surround your child with their favorite stories and pick out themed furniture or premium furnishings for a room they’ve only seen in their favourite book, TV show or movie.
