Baby Room Ideas - Start With The Basics

Ahhh, a subject close to my heart! I remember the excitement of getting the nursery ready for the arrival of my baby - deciding on a nursery theme, choosing paint colors for walls and fabric for baby bedding and window treatments, picking out baby furniture and accessories, then putting it all together.

I came across a question at Curbly where a reader asked about covering popcorn stucco walls with fabric.

Storyboard - Teen Bedroom

Any teen would appreciate a bedroom that included these elements of design.

Metal storage cabinets provide a creative and unique clothes storage solution. The wood finish of the clean-lined, contemporary twin bed frame is repeated with the use of the wood storage boxes as a decorative and functional accessory. The bold red of the metal storage cabinets is continued in the fabric samples. This red cotton fabric would be ideal for use as drapery fabric (with lining) or to make covers for throw pillows. The surfboard themed area rug introduces green, yellow and blue to the color palette while still continuing the red. Light can be directed where it is needed with the adjustable wall spotlight.
