Small Kids, Big Color Entry # 9

To Small Kids, Big Color Contest Page and All Entries

thumbs up

Name: Amelia & Paul
Age: 13 month old twins
Location: Culver City, California

Color Inspiration: We wanted the room to be bright, fun and playful. Living in a rented space meant that we weren't able to add color with paint, so we had to come up with other ways to add color to the room.

Give Katy, Amelia & Paul a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!

Tip For Using Color: Use color in unexpected places. The bright colored rugs do double duty in our space. They make the space pop with bright cheerful patterns and they protect the light colored carpet underneath!

Colors Used: There is no paint used in our room. The colorful rugs and cribs are from Ikea. The chairs are from Pottery Barn kids and the tree mural is from Target.

Ready to join in? The entry form is up through November 9 on our contest page.

It's an Ikea wonderland. . .

Great way to add color and overcome the white walls.

Love it! I feel like this is the first one with great pops of color and your walls are white! Way to go!

Well done!

We have the same Ikea crib for our 13-month-old son, purchased for the same reason.

I keep coming back to look at this nursery, and it's really starting to grow on me. I love that all the color is everywhere but on the walls!

I love seeing those Ikea rugs and bookcase in action. I have them picked out for my future nursery. I like the neutral walls with all the colors going on and the tree mural is adorable. Great job!
