Spotlight Feature: My Little Home - Decor and Design for Children

Tara Sawchuk 

By David R.
Remembering the unique elements that made your childhood room unique is useful when decorating one of the most enjoyable spaces in the home: Bedrooms for children. With all the choices available today in good quality and stylish furniture and bed linens, it is easy to complete a unique and cherished room without falling into the Disney theme park look that is aggressively marketed to us. Of course, anyone with a preschooler in the home knows that these little tastemakers want those superhero characters at some point, so when that influence hits your home, take comfort in adding some non-branded, original and imaginative play pieces, wall art, and decor items. There is magic, whimsy, and adventure to be had in designing your original, artistic, and interesting room for a child. Of course, many of us will be drawn to these creations and buy them for our own inner child who now runs the show!

  2. So many cute things! I love the felted fox and playmat. And agreed, there's something fleetingly anonymous about all the generic cartoon characters, the items you've picked here are for treasuring beyond childhood.

    Oh, you might like the link on my blog to a fabulous blog post about a three year old's 'closet' bedroom - it shows you can create a truly original kid's room in even the tiniest space - very inspiring.
