Teen Bedroom Trends: Giant Flower Bedding
Nov
Not entirely certain when this happened, but flowers are getting bigger. No – it’s not due to global warming. Just a design trend I’m seeing in floral bedding.
It’s mostly target to teens, I think, as I look at these styles. Tons of very, very, very large flowers having been making their way into bedding styles. I love most of them because they’re so dramatic and eye-catching and girly without being too little girl (like the Sloane set from Target pictured here). Which makes them perfect for a teen. Not to mention, a few big flowers is far less fussy a look than something with tons of small flowers.
One of the places these are popping up the most is over at Target. Their latest designs are quite slanted in this direction. But there are a ton of options blooming all over. I’ve featured a couple of my favorites here, but you can check out a bigger selection of giant flower bedding I collected over at Squidoo.

Colorful ottomans and stools perfect for a kid’s bedroom
Sep
Kids are usually bouncing off the walls, but there comes a time in the day when they just want to sit down, put their feet up and take a break. (Talk about mimicking mom and dad!)
Now, if you want them to keep their feet off your furniture, you have to give them their own. And there are a lot of ottoman and stool options out there sized for kids. But seriously, what kid wants a boring blob in their room?
I found a couple of options sure to please just about any kids, although they might not be a perfect theme match for you. (Not to worry. These are just a few of the ones I found. There are tons of other choices.)
One of my favorites is the cute green puzzle piece ottoman, perfect for just about any theme and any age child. It’s available in five colors if green doesn’t work for you and comes via free shipping at Amazon.
And what girl wouldn’t love this bit of pink fluff? It’s a pink flower fabric ottoman from the folks at Gund, so you know it’s quality. Best of all, it works with just about any pink theme you can think of.
But my all time favorite that I stumbled upon months ago is this adorable little guy! This blue elephant stool is sure to draw oohs and ahhs from anyone who sees it. The elephant works with a circus, jungle or safari theme – oh, probably zoo and elephant as well – while the polka dot fabric makes it a match with a room going for a polka dot theme. The blue doesn’t make it just for boys, but that color will pair well with themes for them, for sure.

Girl Bedroom Ideas: Bright colors and flowers
Jan
I love bright colors, but it can be difficult to figure out just how to work them together sometimes. Should you always pair them with a neutral? How many are too many? Fortunately, there are professional people out there who do all that worrying for you. (Yea!) They’re the smart designers who create bedding and art and rugs. Let them worry about those things and you just follow their lead.
Which is what I did with this particular bedroom look, which is full of brights with some not-overly-girly-flowers thrown in. What I love about this girls bedding set is it is can carry your girl through from 8 to 18. (Unless she’s like me and likes to redecorate all the time!) It’s just the right amount of girly without being too little girl.
I’ve paired it with equally bright accessories in all the different colors of the palette. With this many brights, I’d highly suggest lots of white to balance them out and make them shine. Think of maybe painting one wall as an accent in one of the palette colors (ack – too many to choose from) and leave the rest white. White furniture would also be great or maybe a light metal. Definitely avoid dark, heavy pieces. The feeling of this room is light and airy.
