    Andy Warhol as Kid’s Room Decor

    Posted August 6, 2007 by valentina
    Found in: Kid's Rooms, Tips & Advice

    I think it’s always great to spark a child’s interest in art early on, and I think the pop art of Andy Warhol is a fun way to do this. There are plenty of Warhol works of animals and toys that are totally kid-appropriate and would make for a colorful and original decor scheme in a child’s room. Not to mention, many Warhol posters and prints can be purchase for a reasonable price. For instance, the “Four Pandas” poster pictured above is about $44, and as long as you choose something simple, framing shouldn’t be too much–go for a metal frame in a color that exists in the print.

    Here are some other Warhol’s to consider for your little one:

    Formula 1 Car W196 R, $44

    Portrait of Maurice, $27.99

    Golden Sam, $9.99

    Loft Beds for Kids

    Mission Youth Loft Bed, $1, 569

    Loft beds are a fantastic way to save space in a kid’s room, and they’re so fun because the bed portion is so high off the ground. Usually built with a bed, desk and dresser drawers, this all-in-one provides a child more room to move and play. Not to mention, it gives a small space a neat appearance.

    A kid’s room that’s fun and organized? Loft beds are downright miracle workers. I think I might want one!


    Discovery Junior All-In-One Loft, $753



    Ontario Twin-Over-Twin Loft Bunk Bed, $1, 079



    Silver Grey Bunk Bed, $372

    Animal Bookends
    Animal Bookends, $31.95

    Every child’s bedroom needs a healthy supply of books, and where there are books, there should most definitely be bookends. And they should be charming. These giraffe bookends from Wrapables.com are just that. I love the simple shape and the way the base contrasts with the yellow of the giraffe.

    But these aren’t the only bookends in town, there are plenty out there with that old-fashioned look that works so well in a kid’s room. I also spotted these on my search:
