Timeless Wall Art

One way to create a space for kids and grown-ups alike is to choose quality artwork. A fun idea: create a breezy, vacation feel! Photography by Gray Malin instantly carries you away to a picture-perfect summer moment! Below we see Waikiki Beach:

Even if the art isn’t created specifically for children, bright hues will capture their attention. Candy colors take center stage in Pastel Beach Umbrellas, also by Gray Malin:

If you’re on a tight budget, check sites such as Society6 for affordable, stylish artwork. This overhead shoreline shot and this aerial photo of beachgoers channel a similar vibe to the gorgeous featured photos above.

Cheerful Textiles

Since we’re talking about beachy motifs, what would a bathroom upgrade be without a fresh set of towels, maybe a cabana stripe pattern?! Pottery Barn Kids makes it easy and fun with their Rugby Stripe Bath Towel Collection (available in a variety of colors). You can’t go wrong with a soothing shade of aqua:

Special Extras

Don’t forget those extra special touches that give life to a space. Houseplants are a wonderful option for the powder room, especially when you make sure they’re kid-safe. Not sure you’re up for the maintenance? Try faux foliage, such as this Faux Phoenix Palm Leaf:
