A single larger print above the bed sets the room's tone. 50×70 cm works above most children's beds; 40×50 cm suits a dresser or reading corner.

Ideas for children's rooms built around the child who sleeps in them — colour, scale and art placement that works in a real home.
A single larger print above the bed sets the room's tone. 50×70 cm works above most children's beds; 40×50 cm suits a dresser or reading corner.
Pick up the wall tone, the bedlinen or the wood in the furniture. Two colours from the room plus one gentle accent is usually enough.
Three prints in matching frames, spaced 5–8 cm apart, read as one considered piece rather than clutter.
Nursery-soft artwork can be remade later in a more graphic style — same idea, older feel, no need to redecorate.
Children look up less than adults. Centring artwork around 120–130 cm makes the room feel like theirs.
Muted naturals and soft washes settle a room; save the boldest colours for playroom walls.
