Timeless Kid’s Design

traditional-bedroom-design-with-white-wooden-headboard-bed-rustic-side-table-and-desk-also-Mellow-Yellow-walls-give-cozy-appeal-1024x674One of the best ways to timelessly decorate a kid’s bedroom is to vision a seamless transition from childhood, to teenage years, and then into a typically guest room. Of course, each transition is going to need some minor changes, but if you have to complete change the room between each stage of your child’s life, then the design you came up with is not timeless.

Here are 3 tips to help you design your timeless kid’s bedroom:

–       Choose your color palette: Many new families go crazy with painting their kids room a baby blue or paisley pink when expecting a new baby, but these do not translate well into a more adult theme. It is best to choose a color that doesn’t scream ‘baby’ and leaves more of a sophistication for the room.

–       Choose furniture YOU like: Sure, it is your child’s room, but the racecar and princess bed phase won’t last long going into the teenage years. Choose furniture that will easily translate or transfer into other areas of the house after the child has left.

–       Symmetry and patterns: Kid rooms can get really chaotic with toys and posters, so adding some patterns and organizational symmetry can reduce the chaos factor and really pull the room together. Everything should have a place, and not one that is in the middle of the floor.

Considerations for Purchasing the Perfect Sofa

SofaAfter a long day of work or on a lazy Sunday, the sofa is exactly where people relax, watch a movie and enjoy their families. They are also a central focal feature for most living rooms as they occupy so much space. However, finding the perfect couch can be difficult with many considerations

 

  1. Size: Depending on the size of your family or normal guests, a larger couch may be necessary. If the space is smaller, a love seat may be all the room can handle. There are many different sizes to accommodate your needs, though.
  2. Shape: Consider the size of the room and function of the space. L shape couches are great for open areas as they can serve as a room divider, while rounded couches are more inclusive if you’re entertaining. You can also buy a couch with matching chairs or accent chairs to achieve the same feel.
  3. Upholstery material: Leather couches are a bit more expensive, but more durable and easier to clean with spills and dirt. Fabric couches come in a larger variety of colors and are typically less expensive, but can be difficult to clean for those with young children or dogs.
  4. Color: Although whites and tans are neutral and flexible, with young children or animals it can be difficult to keep them looking their best if you’re considering a fabric couch. Browns, blacks, and dark blues are also more neutral, but do not have the stain predicaments of lighter neutrals. Bold colors keep the room interesting and fun, providing an easy way to bring lots of color to a space. In the end, select a color you won’t get sick of and is practical for your family and lifestyle.

Picking out your Statement Piece

Trends change all the time, but your statement pieces are forever! Your statement pieces are noticed and commented on by everyone who walks through the room whether it is a chair, your dining room table, or even the bar that you set up for guests. You want to be sure your statement piece fits with the rest of your home, but stands out in a fantastic way! When picking out your statement piece you will need to decide what route you want to go.

Some people choose to be lavish and glamorous with their statement piece.  It is never bad to show off your extravagant side!
