Kids Room Rugs: February 2010 Archives

What color should i have my bedroom?

Why not black, red, and white? No tomboy colors in those three. :)

Find a toille throw/duvet cover for your bed. They come in a bunch of colors, but a black/white cover with red accents would look great.  Use red for strong accents, like candles, throw pillows, cuddly blankets, or a strong red curtain on the window.

On your floor, add a focal point such as an area rug, and be sure that you get one that has your accent color like this Rich Red Allure Rug.

If your furniture is black, your walls are white, add some striking red vases or lamps as well.

Have fun!

What color should i paint my sons room that goes well with a red feature wall?

I'm decorating my 2 year old sons bedroom with a construction/ Tonka theme.

I would paint the other walls a light taupe/beige. It will keep your walls neutral while highlighting the other elements of your room, like your feature wall.

In a construction room, you can paint roadways along the walls by doing a large grey stripe with road lines in the middle. Once your road is painted, you can adhere actual construction vehicles (I'd get duplicates of trucks your child already has, or he will be trying to rip the trucks off the wall) to the road with a drill. It's an authentic addition to a cute boys room.

On your floor, be sure you have a large kids area rug that draws on your construction theme like this Bulldozer area rug or this kids cement truck area rug .
