Two, kids grow up. Are they going to be a big Batman fan in 5 years? Probably not.
I prefer to gain inspiration from an adult piece of decor and build a room that is youthful but not childish.
I have used wallpaper as inspiration for a nursery, a chandelier for a shared bedroom, and here, I'm using a

I love this girl's room! Turkey is by far one of my favorite places and they have beautiful designs. I think your strategy is a great idea so that the room can be age appropriate for a lot longer!

Ahhhh i LOVE it, and I LOVE that rug. I think the polka dot pillow you chose is the perfect accompaniment!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet room. I love the delicate sophistication and the fun, especially of the coral dotted pillow.
ReplyDeleteBravo! A theme room is so amateurishness and shallow. This room has depth and style.
