Crave: Mod Rooms

I've been coming across a lot of Mod inspired rooms lately, and I'm getting a little jealous (and inspired!) I may not have been born until after the Mod era, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it.

We've recently added 'Mod' to our custom materials section; and I'm in heaven. The colors, the shapes, the sizes- oh my!  Our custom design StopDrop would look great in a Mod themed room (shown above).  It's a great design to mix with stripes, and flowers.

The great thing about Mod design is it's all about the colors and shapes.  You can go as big and bold as you want.

Our Tulip design (shown above) would look right at home in this Mod/Asian inspired bedroom.  Pendant lights look great above 4-poster bed frames.  this Mod/Asian inspired bedroom is another great examples of how great Mod themed rooms can be; you really can get as creative as you want with it.

Inspiration from Animal Themed Children's Rooms

52in Animal Print Fan It seems like themed rooms have sort of fallen off the map in the past few years; but I still really like them for kids rooms.  I've never met a child that didn't have a love for animals (or animal print!)

I found this awesome wallpaper covered ceiling fan that I thought was genius!  Ceiling fans are notorious for being eye-sores, but when covered in an animal print for a kids room; well, i think that's a recipe for success!

If you don't have a ceiling fan to cover, you can always use our custom wallpaper in Giraffe on the walls.  The wallpaper will be a bold statement and also serve as a learning lesson.  Each time your children enter their room, they'll recognize each print and which animal it belongs to.

Another great idea for an animal themed room is by using our new Love Dogs 2 print.  This dog themed design (all proceeds from the sales of this print go to the Kauai Humane Society) looks amazing as a pendant lamp and I really love the idea of pillows too.  I can imagine the lamp right above the bed in this super cute dog themed kids room!
