Tips & Warnings
Make your own art. Use a favorite photo and have it enlarged to fit over the head of the bed. Request a gallery wrap for a higher quality print that does not need additional framing.
Buy a comforter that has a subtle texture or pattern to it. This will make the room look less stark.
Don’t use a black and gray theme for a child’s room. This is a sophisticated, adult look for a bedroom.
