   Tuesday is for dreaming     A child’s bedroom isn’t just a space to look at.     It’s a little world to feel — with eyes, yes, but also hands, ears, nose…     What if we thought of the atmosphere not as a set of objects, but as a symphony of sensations? Seeing — but differently We often start with color — and that’s great. But beyond the tones, think in visual atmosphere:     Soft or high contrast?     Bright or cozy?     Calm and unified, or full of surprises? A pale wall, a dreamy print, a warm light — that’s already a story for the eyes. Touch — textures that comfort Children learn by touching. So bring in a variety of textures:     raw wood, linen, wool     a soft rug     a blanket to snuggle into     a pillow with pompoms or a felt garland Texture = comfort. A quiet way of saying: you belong here.  Scent — even witho...

  Friday is for doing On Tuesday, we imagined the bedroom as a picture book. Today, let’s see how to write that story — with images, textures, and little details that spark wonder.   1. Choose your storyline Before you buy anything, ask yourself: What kind of world do I want to create? A peaceful forest? A cozy mountain cabin? A space explorer’s hideout? This doesn't have to be a rigid theme — just a starting point , a feeling, a mood. Use it as a compass to guide your choices (colors, prints, furniture…).   2. Think in images, not words Children love visual cues . Try to build a “story wall” with 2–5 key items: A large print that sets the tone (like a map, a dreamy animal, or a landscape) A small object that adds texture (a wooden airplane, a soft toy, a shell) A color accent that ties things together (a pillow, a lampshade, a garland) Optional: a handwritten word or quote on the wall — just one. Less is more.  Bonus tip: Display a drawing your...

    Let’s dream a little – it’s Tuesday   Once upon a time, there was a child’s bedroom… Not just a place to sleep or store toys, but a space to invent a story — a gentle, visual narrative that grows with your child.    Every room tells a tall What if your child’s room was like a giant picture book ? The bed is the main character: comforting, central, familiar. The walls are the pages — ready to hold images, maps, and dreams. The decor , prints, cushions, and little objects are the supporting characters — subtle but full of charm. So, what kind of story would you like to unfold? A jungle adventure? A treehouse far away? A floating world between sky and sea?    Let the images speak Children don’t read walls with words — they read them with eyes, emotions, and wonder. Choose images that: suggest , rather than explain open doors to faraway places spark curiosity without telling it all A print with a hot air balloon, a make-be...

  Friday is for doing   On Tuesday, we imagined the bedroom as a landscape. Today, we roll up our sleeves: how do you build a gallery wall that tells a story — with softness and balance?   1. Find a guiding thread Before you reach for the hammer, ask yourself one simple question: What feeling should this wall evoke? A world of animals? A soft, peaceful color palette? A sense of adventure? A love of discovery? This guiding thread will help you choose your images, colors, and frame sizes — and keep everything coherent and meaningful.    2. Mix frame sizes (but gently) A beautiful wall is often a balance between: Large frames that set the tone Medium sizes that create rhythm Small pieces that add a sense of movement or detail Tip: Cut out paper templates the size of your frames and tape them to the wall with masking tape. Move them around until the layout feels right — no pressure, just play.   3. Let color be your guide Your frames and prin...

  Let’s dream a little – it’s Tuesday   What if your child’s room wasn’t just a space to decorate, but a landscape to compose? A place that’s soft, alive, and ever-changing — like a horizon to dream up, every single day. Think in layers Start with the big picture. In a landscape, there’s always a background (like the sky or distant hills), anchor elements (trees, houses, rivers), and tiny details that catch the eye (birds, flowers, drifting clouds...). A child’s room is just the same: the walls are the sky, the backdrop the furniture are the solid forms — grounded and steady the art, textiles, and décor objects bring life, story, and character Ask yourself: what’s the mood of this landscape? Is it a clearing in the woods, a seaside breeze, a treetop hideaway? And how can color, light, and images help bring that feeling to life?   Add soft landmarks Just like in a landscape, the eye needs places to land. A large frame above the bed, a mobile hangi...

 Friday is for doing What Frame Sizes for What Wall? A Gentle Guide to Getting It Right     Choosing art is exciting.     Hanging it... a little less.     “Is this too small? Too big? Will it feel lost on the wall?”     Don’t worry — there’s a way to feel confident about it (even without a laser level).  The golden rule: Let your wall guide you. A frame isn’t just about what it holds — it’s also about how it lives in the space around it. Here are some gentle guidelines that help you find the right size for the right spot:   Small frames (5×7" / 8×8")     Perfect for shelves, desks, above a nightstand, or as part of a gallery wall     Use in groups (2 or 3) or to balance other objects (a lamp, a vase)     Tip: Avoid hanging a small frame all alone on a large wall — it might feel “lost” Medium frames (8×10" / 11×14" / 12×16")     Ideal for single-frame mom...
