Design by Decorilla online interior designer, Laura A.

Still daydreaming about 2016’s color of the year, Rose Quartz? A white and cotton candy pink palette makes dreams come true. Muted by gray undertones and completed with a matte finish, these spaces say “sweet dreams.” Apply Rose Quartz in small touches like accent pillows or a pouf and offer your adult space a softness.

Bacharach Swivel Barrel Chair by Jonathan Adler

Remind you of cotton candy? Swiveling in style, the Barrel Chair has nothing to hide. With a comfortable, warm, and classic form, it is a suitable accent piece. Exaggerate it with a white backdrop. Display its texture by placing it against floral patterns and pastel surroundings. For a power play, juxtapose the seat with emerald walls or accents.

Pierre Small Nightstand by Made Goods

Small and sweet. With faux-shagreen drawers and a rounded frame, a little stand becomes an eye catcher in an array of environments. Its understated whitewashed oak frame lends itself to the contrasting possibilities of splashes of rose, quartz, or coral.

2. The Fairytale Fortress

Remember the secretive feeling of creating a personal fortress as a child? A typical example for kids room design.

Here an open frame lends itself to the changing décor, paper lanterns, vacation photo mobiles, or a blanket covering for a little hideaway. Storage options throughout the room balance play time with study and sleep creating both a life and space well balanced.

Ready to face the question: “Should we keep it or give it to the kids?” No need to compromise, with height adjustments and a variety of finish options, the solid oak frame can be a statement piece in rooms for all ages.

Pelle Pill Pendant by West Elm

The Pill Pendant gives a dose of ambiance to most interiors, but its ambient potential is best suited in the bedroom. A salt-blasted globe casts warmth and a soft glow adding a touch of wanderlust to life at home.

3. Room in the Attic

Though the space may never be as tiny as it’s little resident, kids room designs have an excuse to be unabashedly creative. Tucked in the attic of a New England estate, this children’s room has a whimsical flare with attention grabbing cast iron beds and swooping swallows on the wall.

With careful planning, attic spaces can be optimized for functionality. Clever furniture options and fun decorative elements can convert these small spaces into a  home office, den, or bedroom for five!

The funky little finial hanging down is handcrafted raw papier mache that has been partly gold leafed. Has a way of charming the young and old.

Verdure by Zoffany

When reminiscing about younger days, visuals of adventures in nature appear. Unlike the frequented office or airport, home is a place that has the potential to bring us back to nature. Exaggerated verdant color takes hold in this wall covering based on a late 17th century painted cloth that recalls a country scene. As an accent wall, it converts an attic into a natural haven.

4. A Room Divided

A room is much more than four walls. Arguably, six with a ceiling and floor in the mix. These are especially useful when a divider is needed. The angled band of yellow in the kids room design above, for example, gives the white box an infinity type of dynamism, instantly heightening and elongating.

For studios or large rooms that would like definition of one area from another, items like bookshelves, screens, and hanging curtains offer a stylish divider solution.
