CREATURE COMFORTS

-

A band of colour, such as this deep golden yellow, used above a peg or picture rail is a simple yet fun paint effect to use in a child’s bedroom and could also be carried onto the ceiling. Quirky accessorie­s inspired by woodland flora and fauna, such as felted wall hangings and colourful patchwork cushions, provide charm and originalit­y. Upturned crates placed at the end of the bed make simple tables for reading or drawing, while a stylish wooden chair becomes a flexible lamp table plus a place to read a bedtime story.
