Need french country decor and accents for daughters room, where can I get???
I just asked a question about what a great way to do a theme for my daughters room. She will be 1 1/2 and getting into her toddler bed, and I wanted a theme that wasnt artoony and would last till at least 5. Well I got a great answer about a french/country tea party garden. Where can I find crib matress sized linnens and what colors would I use on walls and bedding and drapes? I dont want wild colors or anything. Simple luxurious fabrics and colors please. As of now she has tan burber carpet but I think I want to switch to bamboo hardwood. Her furniture is cherry so would a sandy/medium brown wood color be ok with that? Any thoughts on where to find some great decor to go along. Please nothing to “childish”. I’d like it to be tasteful yet fun and classy. Not beyond her age, just not like dora the explorer type stuff.
French country is a great choice for your situation. It is one of my favorite for little girls. Think of bunnies and playful Toile in pink or green. You could also use dotted or lace edged sheets and pillowcases. Or, even something with bees would be appropriate. I wouldn’t worry about your Berber. It is neutral.
If you use Toile, use it in abundance. Include the window treatments and lamp shades. You could mix in checks also.
Anything in pinks or greens would be lovely. You can use in a combination, pink and brown or pink and green. Blues also play off nicely with the cherry and highlight the elegance. So, you can even use blue and yellow which would be psychologically calming and invigorating. I wouldn’t overdue the yellow though. It could be too stimulating. That is just my opinion. The cherry would go with any flooring. It could even be a golden shade if you wanted.
Here is a site for “Ideas”, the prices are very expensive but worth the look for you to pull from to do a search at department stores.

Look at the selections from JC Penney, Target, Macy’s or if you have a larger budget, Bloomingdales. You cannot choose your wall color until you choose your linens. You may even check Marshall’s, Linen’s and Things and Bed Bath and Beyond.
Good luck.
