Color, Pattern, & Texture

Not unlike adult furniture, consistency of color and pattern is basic to a room’s design success. In designing children’s furniture, “colors should be serene, but mixed with pops of color and pattern. Furniture and textiles should be soft for getting wild!” It is adroitly observed that “color evokes mood and drama, while patterns promote individuality. Using color, pattern, and texture enables the parent and the child to create a unique space that is all their own. Strong colors and graphic patterns are great for high energy, creative types, while delicate patterns and soft palettes are wonderful for the introspective little ones Contrast works well for boys and girls, but can also be a fun choice for twins or siblings sharing space.

There is definitely an art to designing successful children’s furniture. By understanding the psychological and functional needs of children in their surroundings, successful smaller -scaled furniture can be made for both imaginative and multi-functional needs.
