Pixel Sofa That Looks Like a Domino

Thinking of digital images and how pixels make up the image, what if you changed a few pixels to a different color? This is the effect in this sofa as a few sections have been made white on an otherwise black background. Before I was thinking about pixels, my first impression was that of a domino. I found myself trying to count the white spaces to see which domino it was! Nonetheless, this piece is interesting though its color pattern may be tricky for most people to match to their home’s furnishings.

Decorating a Kid’s Room

There are plenty of unique and inexpensive ways to create a fantasy room for a child, and the first step in the planning is to pick a theme. While determining the theme seems like the easy part, it is worth taking some time to think about it. Selecting a character like Pokemon is just fine, but consider that three months from now the child may favor Scooby Doo, and there would be an ongoing battle about how you just redecorated. Three months is forever to a young child. Think about using color palettes as a theme, rather than specific characters. “Primary colors” can be a theme, with wall hangings, curtains and comforters to match. Or, try a topic that can grow with the child. For examples, a room done in a “jungle” theme can work all the way from a nursery into a room for a 9-year-old child. The four walls of the bedroom are empty canvases for your creativity.

Some simple but impressive decorating techniques can turn plain walls into works of art. A solid paint can go a long way in changing a blah white room into a cheery environment. Remember, that small hands leave prints. These will be much easier to clean if you use a semi-gloss paint rather than flat. Once you’ve painted, add inexpensive wall hangings. Find posters from children’s museums, libraries and bookstores, then mount the posters onto foam board with re-positionable adhesive spray. Both foam board and spray can be found at any craft supply store. Try doing some faux finishing on your walls. It’s easy to paint a base color, then dampen a natural sponge, and dip into the second color of paint and dab lightly on the walls.

How To Select The Right Color For Your Kid’s Room

When it comes to decorating kid rooms one of the biggest decisions parent and kids need to make is to decide on a paint color you both like.

Selecting the right color for your kid’s room is easy if you gather up a little inspiration first. Consider useful resources like paint chips, fabric swatches and photos of decorated kid rooms you like. You and your child may even want to put together an idea book which also includes photos of furnishings and accessories you can envision in your kid’s room. Catalogs and magazines are a great source of images. Or using a color printer, print out some of your favorite online images.

Once you’ve put together a collection of ideas sit down with your child and go through your idea book for any common colors and themes. Is there a particular color that would bring all the items you like together and give your kid’s room a coordinated look?

If so it’s time to start paint shopping. (If not, go back and gather a few more samples for your idea book.) To make sure you’re really on track with the right color, I recommend opting for a trial size jar of paint or paints in the colors you like and painting it on a poster-sized board so you can get a real sense of whether the color is right for your kid’s room or not.

Put the sample board in different places around your kid’s room to see how it looks at different times of the day and night. Do you like it as much in natural light as you do in the evening with artificial light? Also how does the color look with any furnishings and accessories that will be staying in the room?

Once you select the right color for your kid’s room purchase full cans of paint, prep the room, don your paint clothes and start painting!
