   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...

Let’s dream a little – it’s Tuesday  What if we stopped trying to think of everything at once? What if we started… with just one frame? When decorating a child’s room, we often feel the urge to do a lot: we look at the walls, the curtains, the furniture, the colors… and quickly, it all feels overwhelming. But what if the best way to begin was to start with just one framed picture? Why begin with one frame? Because a frame already tells a story. It brings:  A color palette   A style   A certain mood (vintage, soft, modern, dreamy, graphic…) And that’s enough to build something beautiful around.     Example: a warm-toned illustration might inspire linen in clay tones, a mustard yellow cushion, or a natural wood shelf. It’s simpler. Calmer. Less stress = more harmony. What that one frame can guide:  Your main color choices   Your furniture style (Scandinavian, vintage, boho…)   The overall vibe (exploration, nature, animals, travel…) A pra...
