We have tried really hard to keep still until this stunning line arrives at our online store, but we can’t any longer.
Our new wall decor is a range of stunning, playful but modern stickers and wall murals that enable you to dress up your child’s bedroom wall in an instant. The range is literally endless as our in house artists can custom design a theme for you too. We love the owls because owls are currently “in” and the wall stickers are just too cute!
Sometimes a single letter is all you need, especially if your bedding or furniture is very “busy”.

In room design you introduce colours and schemes that you prefer, but you can visually increase the size of the room too.
Choosing pale colours over darker ones is one example. Neutral, pastel or white gives the illusion that the walls are farther away than they actually are, Light bounces off the walls to increase the amount of light the room receives and thereby making it airier and more spacious.
If you like wallpaper, choose one with a simple pattern, or with tiny motifs. The larger patterns tend to give the appearance of there being more items in the room, which will give a small room a cluttered feeling. The alternative is to have one accent wall with the busy wall paper or the darker paint colour.
We like the Happy Tree Farm Wall Mural, new and exclusive to Punkin Patch
The same rule of thumb applies to bedding and furniture. The simpler they are, the more spacious the room feels. We love the Jackson Headboard, available in a range of fabrics and with your child’s initial embroidered on.

Very often we are asked to design a bedroom or nursery by mixing the old and the new. You may want to do this for a variety of reasons; keeping heirloom or beloved pieces of furniture, or simply having a preference for the eclectic look.
Eclectic decor can either be seen as easy, because there are no rules or as difficult because it still has to look good!
This can be achieved in more ways than one. The key is to have a common theme running through the pieces, in the form of color palette, shape or style. We chose color.
Bedroom Design: Old Meets New
Vintage
Our vintage choices in this style-file are the Ticket to Ride Bedding collection and the Acorn Chandelier.
This Boys bedding set is made up of fabrics which combine textures and patterns to form a yummy look. We LOVE the vintage pillow sham made a fabric pattern of authentic train tickets which are old and worn. This made to order set like most of our bedding is available in all sizes, accessories like drapery and blinds are available too.
The Acorn chandelier is a classic, handpainted one, gentle rubbing and crackled paint gives it the vintage feel. The chandelier shades can be made in a smart stripe fabric, or we can go completely retro by using the Ticket to Ride fabric. Either way, it works handsomely!
Modern
Our modern choice is the Ricky Bed. We LOVE the upholstered head and foot board, which comes in a fabric of your choice, why not use your bedding fabric? This bed is available in all sizes and in a wide range of colors. The shades on the chandelier can also be a smart modern choice of stripe or plain fabrics.
Finishing Touch:
Our designer picked this adorable stretched art canvas to make it all ‘pop’;

We were given the task to create a bedding set in the colors of green, lilac and brown. We love challenges!!!!
Brittany already had an idea of what she wanted, but we had the task of bringing it to life. The walls are painted in large stripes of alternating shades of lilac.
The outside print fabric for the bumper was picked by Brittany and one of our designers. To soften the effect of the print and the lilac walls, we chose to have the inside of the bumper in a thin stripe lilac, and the baby’s initials embroidered against a textured white. The embroidery was done in matching green tying the outside and inside of the bumper together.
The crib sheet is in a minky lilac fabric. Incredibly soft for baby.
The dust skirt is in the textured white and is finished off just below the bar in a lilac stripe fabric.
We love the way the light colored fabrics form a stark contrast against the furniture. For similar furniture, why not take a look here.
The Chenille Braided rug was Brittany’s idea, and we also have it here in a range of colors and sizes.
To get your room looking like Brittany’s, or to transform your ideas into reality, please contact us at design@punkin-patch.com. Even if all you have in mind is a color, we’ll be happy to do the rest.

We would like to thank you all so much for staying with us through 2009. It has been very much an “up and down and up again” year due to the economic factors which have seen some of our longest standing suppliers having to shut their doors. Also safety in juvenile furniture has been a huge buzz-word over the last 12 months.
Consequently we have had to look for new lines that go beyond simply meeting the required JPMA standards. We have sought out manufacturers that exceed the standards yet produce furniture that is aesthetically pleasing but can still create rooms that are stunning . Some of our existing suppliers have re-vamped their lines completely to ensure all furniture is safe yet practical.

Other new products to watch out for are children’s accessories like clocks, a fresh new line of children’s art, hand-finished blankets and new bedding lines. Our brand new services include wall murals, custom wall paper- you inspire, we create and so much more. To say thank you we are offering a whopping 15% off absolutely everything, enter the code BF09 at checkout for your discount.
As always we are at the other end of the phone or computer, do call or email us with any questions and we’ll be happy to help. Have a happy new year and thanks again!!

Creating a teen bedroom is something that has no fixed rules or ideas to follow. Until of course you ask their opinion (LOL!)
Seriously, start with a blank canvas in mind. Remove any preferences you may have and have an open mind. With teenagers it might be easier to start with the theme and then go on from there. Having a theme does not necessarily have to be an obvious one like sports for boys. When dealing with teenage bedrooms a theme translates into feeling and atmosphere. What sort of atmosphere are they after? A 14 year old looking to show off his football trophies can have his room decorated in various shades of his team’s colours and finished with a football canvas art or a favourite photo transferred onto canvas. A wall shelf should display his trophies and medals.

In the same vein, a gothic princess can still have her theme, just classy and even likeable with the right furniture and décor, using just the right amount of black. We love the Cinderella bed in black!

Is there something – activity, memory or toy that they absolutely love? That is a good place to start as it narrows down your choices, making it their own.
The outdoors, transportation, sport or fairytales, these are all great ideas that can be easily turned into a fun kid’s room theme. You can even go with family or cultural history, fond memories and so on.
Once you decide on a theme, have a look at artwork. Thankfully children’s artwork is plentiful these days and you are no longer stuck with the traditional nursery rhyme framed print. Canvas art for children can tell a story and form the focal part of the room. The piece can tell a whole story from All American Sports to Noah’s Ark and Fairies, the options are endless. Personalized art makes an extra special touch as every child likes to see their name or initials in print.
