Sticking to a theme can however be quite simple, ensure that when you pick a colour scheme you consult your local decorating centre to guarantee that hues originate from the same tonal family. This example is excellent in demonstrating how just a few simple well-coordinated items can create a space that is successful and enjoyable for any child.
