What are the best online decor stores for kids?
Filed under: Development/Milestones: Babies, Baby Essentials, Decor
Nolan has outgrown his crib, and though I'm quite sure it will involve a lot of late-night visits to Mom's room (and probably several tumbles on to the hardwood), I've bought him a big-boy toddler bed. It's awesome: dark wood with beautiful slats and a little pull-out drawer for his mountain of bouncy balls and assorted toddler carpenter tools. Best of all, it was wickedly cheap, thank you Costco) My Mom and I went shopping today for bedding and sundry items for the rest of Nolan's new bedroom. We went to Ikea and, though I like the store for smaller-ticket items, their kids bedding did nothing to me. I want Nolan's room to be cheerful, but not psychedelic. I don't want to be assaulted by fluorescent dragons and shrieking primary colours every time I step into my son's room.
Nolan loves the ocean, and I am imagining a room with dark wood and blue hues, shelves with glasses of sea shells and sand, sailboats adorning the walls. I would love for the room to be liveable and kid-proof, but not garish. I googled "kids room decor" but, I don't know...I might be picky but I can't find anything I like. So I thought I'd turn to the experienced veterans of the Internet. What are some of your favourite online stores for kids bedroom items? I'd love to find stuff that's pleasing to the eye, functional, and somewhat neutral. And, not ridiculously expensive.

~Monica said...I absolutely adore Pottery Barn Kids www.potterybarnkids.com - the quilts are gorgeous, classic quality and worth every penny. If there isn't a PBK in Van, you can call the Ontario store and have items shipped to you from them (so you can avoid duty). You can always just buy a quilt and then get cheaper solid colour sheets from another store to go with it - that would offset some of the expense. We are just about to redo our son's room in the PBK A-Z theme - we have the sheets and quilt and a couple throw pillows and then will do the rest of the room in things we find here and there. If you can find some seagull figurines at a craft store and then glue them to a piece of driftwood, Nolan would probably love that ; )

Lauren said...We are big fans of the Land of Nod (www.landofnod.com).
Adorable stuff, all different price ranges. Margot has the "oui oui" bedding in her crib.

B.E.S. said...http://www.javisdavis.com is a great site. They make custom children's bedding or you can purchase some of their pre-coordinated sets.

rachel said...I love the vintage inspired stuff at www.warmbiscuit.com, it can be a little pricey, but I love that they let you just buy the fabrics so that if you have the talent and inclination you can make pieces to coordinate with their sets. I also like www.companykids.com. But I checked both of them for nautical stuff, companykids has a great boats pattern but is sold out of everything but the sham, and warm biscuit's sailing stuff is kinda blah. If I think of anything else I will post back.

rachel said...Ok, I'm back. I did some more googling and I came up with somethings to look at.
www.LaurensLinens.com has some a ton of kids bedding ranging from really garish to really nice, I liked their sailing set http://www.laurenslinens.com/sacoquandbea1.html it has calm colors and great boats and stuff on it and it's even on sale right now!
This set at www.babycenterstore.com isn't bad either: http://store.babycenter.com/product/nursery/toddler+beds+-+bedding/big-kid+bedding/cape+cod+twin+quilt+-+pillow+sham.do?asc=false
A little more on the funky side is this pirate treasure bed set: http://www.homevisions.com/product-12/396/100817.shtml
which I just bookmarked for my own son :) It has brighter colors without being too garish or little kid.
Hope you find something you like!!

Thanks!
