Let's exhaust the nursery ideas a minute: blue, pink, monkeys, frogs, owls. When it comes to designing a child's room, there are countless cute themes and motifs. Yet, wouldn't it be nice to go with something that can "keep" for a few years. Trying to create a versatile space that grows with your child is a goal that saves effort and money years ahead. Selecting neutral colors and making smart furniture choices are ways to create a clever design.
But, let's have fun with it too. One way to add color and interest to a child's bedroom is adding global elements that reflect your family. Using your kid's roots is a creative and meaningful way to decorate.
