White is the choice of professional decorators and art galleries for good reason. It's practical, seasonless and everything looks good against it. Apply this standard to kids' rooms by getting the biggest furnishings – walls, bed frame, desk and tables – in a white painted finish. The lack of color will rest the eye, while visually anchoring the room for continuity. Best of all, white sets the stage for redecorating quickly and often year round.

More than any other element, pattern creates the personality of a room. In a
child's room, the simplest patterns have eternal appeal.
Seasonal florals, dots and stripes, circles and
squares – they never go out of style.

The secret to successful patterning is
repetition. Our Marissa Bedding makes polka
dots even more playful by reversing the color
scheme and pairing it with stripes. The
dot-and-line theme carries though the curtains
and wall stencils, headboard and bedskirt for
stylish consistency.
