Remember when mixing and matching patterns was considered a huge no-no? Well it’s time to throw out that philosophy and embrace mixed prints—especially when it comes to decorating! Incorporating lots of different patterns into a room scheme can be sophisticated, which is perfect for older kids, but it’s fun for the young ones as well.
This season, the hottest trend both on the runway and off is color blocking. Mixing bright, contrasting colors may seem tricky to pull off in a room, but it is much easier than it looks. The most important rule is to embrace boldness, and don’t shy away from using lots of colors.
Decorating with a nautical theme will make any youngster dream of beaches and sailboats, no matter how cold the weather is outside. Nautical-themed rooms create a carefree environment, so they are perfect for children’s rooms. The perfect haven for a peaceful, relaxing snooze, a nautical room leaves drama and worries at the door. Luckily, transforming a bedroom into a seaside oasis doesn’t have to be a hassle either.
The advent of bigger, softer mattresses has taken sleep to a whole new level. But pillowtop mattresses, while providing more comfort, can pose somewhat of a problem when looking to buy sheets that fit. For pillowtop mattresses or mattress toppers, standard sheets may not reach all the way around the mattress. Conversely, for those with standard-size mattresses, accidentally purchasing sheets meant for pillowtop mattresses will leave extra fabric bunched up in the middle of the bed.
