How do you create a happy sleeping space for your little lady? Bold pops of color and a lot of personality will do the trick. 

Goldilocks and the Three Bears taught us that it takes time to find something that’s just right. It can be challenging to find the perfect pink for a room; something feminine but not too frilly. Try a soft shade of pink for adding a touch of spirit. A simple, yet sophisticated print can pull together the rest of the room by using repetition with fabrics.

Put the drill away. With a paintbrush and an artistic touch (or stencil), you can design a whimsical headboard of your own. Not only is it super cute and charming, but it also saves you money and space. What’s not to like about that? Pull off this look by choosing a hue within the same color palette as the rest of the walls.

Surround your little girl with color and a room built for storytelling and big dreams. Painting the ceiling a soft color makes the room look larger. Stay away from dark colors, which will take away dimension from the space.
