- Try Ikea for bubble designs for twin bed duvet covers and sheets. Brightly colored, oversized pillows, even with sequins, enhance a sense of Scandinavian simplicity and sleekness. With their fluff, duvets also add a sense of texture to a room.
- For some 1970s comfort for your elementary school-age child, look into Fatboy beanbag designs. Comfortable, oversized shapes fit a child's body and are just right for curling up to read a favorite story. A flash of the retro look adds pizazz to a plain wall via magnetic flower bulletin boards, in pink or orange. Just attach favorite photos or prize ribbons to the petals with small magnets.
- As your child heads for the teenage years, consider a loft bed for an economical take on space as well as contemporary chic. A desk fits neatly below. These can be purchased in any shade from white to cappuccino and from metal to wood. Choose a style that provides shelf space for books and supplies.
