02 Mar Creative Designs for Growing Tots
Stylish rooms that are prepared for the growing needs of your little mister and miss are easier to achieve than you think… and we can help you make design decisions that will begin in the nursery and grow into living spaces that easily transition for the needs of a healthy, happy and – let’s face it – active toddler.
Start them off in style – Decorating a nursery for the newest member of the family can be one of the great design occasions in any home. Harmonize custom roman shades with comfy duvet covers and laced-printed floral carpeting to seamlessly coordinate key elements of the nursery space. Also consider using complementary fabrics and detailing for the nursery’s upholstered chair, crib skirt and sweeping draperies for a decorating scheme that’s both playful and mature.
Insider tip from our in-house designer, Carley Severnuk:
“Before long, your little one will be walking and running and showcasing a little personality all their own! Sticking with a neutral palette in the nursery for Drapery and Bedding provides the perfect backdrop for your child’s colourful likes and loves as they grow.”
For the Little Ladies –With the right eye, any colour on the colour wheel can make a modern little lady’s room perfect, just for her… even pink. Bold designer fabrics layered carefully with toiles, stripes and complementary graphic prints can add elegance to your little lady’s realm. And if you really want to make her feel at home, add a custom crown canopy to create an aura of princess-worthy grandeur (and yes, we can help you with that too!).
For the Little Gentlemen – Everyone always thinks that decorating for little girls is the most fun – but we beg to differ. Many of the world’s leading designers now include handsome fabric and wallpaper prints in their home collections, just for him. And to get the most impact with your designer prints, pair tone-on-tone fabric or wallpaper prints with bold colors for a sophisticated touch to your little man’s room. Custom-made accent pillows in shapes or patterns that show off the little adventurer’s hobbies can also add a clever personal touch, without making the room seem like a kids-only zone.
These prints from Harlequin are just a sampling of hundreds of designer options for the little gentle man’s favorite headquarters.
Insider tip from our in-house designer, Carley Severnuk:
“Deep Navy blue, White, and Celery Green are some of my favourite palettes – crisp, clean and a great backdrop for bright accessories. Colourful, yet neutral; bold yet soothing. Fabrics in geometric and banded patterns will provide a masculine yet whimsical feel for your little tike. This colour scheme will be sure to grow with his emerging personality.”
From the time their room is their entire world, to the time they are ready to meet the big world head on, our National Drapery team can help you create spaces that will always be home.
