Keep eclectic cohesive
| Item | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Palette | Pick three main colours |
| Pattern | Mix one large, one medium, one small |
| Wood tone | Repeat it at least twice |
| Storage | Hide clutter so decor shines |
| Personal | Let kids choose a few pieces |
Colour and pattern
- Mix bold colours with neutrals to keep it balanced.
- Play with patterns and textures in bedding and cushions.
- Add a wall mural or wallpaper on one wall.
- Layer rugs for colour and a soft floor.
Furniture and display
- Mix vintage and modern furniture, like a painted dresser with a new bed.
- Create a gallery wall of kids’ art and prints.
- Display favourite toys as decor on shelves.
- Add DIY and handmade elements.
Fun features
- Use statement lighting like a scalloped or paper pendant.
- Introduce fun seating such as beanbags or floor cushions.
- Blend themes creatively, like jungle meets space.
- Leave room to change with removable decals and swap-able prints.
Tip: Anchor dressers and bookcases to the wall to prevent tip-overs, check vintage furniture for lead paint before giving it to a child, keep blind cords out of reach, and choose lighting with no hot exposed bulbs.
