Guest Picks: Kids' Accessories for Grown-Ups
Good design works for all ages — just check out these pieces from kids' retailers that would rock an adult room
While doing a bit of online shopping recently, I noticed that many of the products I found at the top kids' retailers were things I would love to see in my own grown-up spaces. Cool modern design, splashes of great color and on-trend products aren't exclusive to Mom and Dad anymore. Here are some of my top picks that will crank up your kids' room a notch — and may even tempt a purchase out of you for your own space. — Danyelle from Dandee Designs
Wood/Metal Task Lamp
This desk lamp is so chic that I'm surprised I didn't find it at one of those expensive modern retailers. The little bit of wood detailing puts it over the edge.
Bubble Wall Clock
The clean design of this clock would look great just about anywhere. The fun bubble feature keeps it from getting too serious.
Measuring Tape Growth Chart
Finally, a growth chart you don't have to tuck behind a door. I think this measuring tape–inspired chart would look lovely in a sewing room too.
Red Medicine Storage Box
Whether you're young or old, you can never have too much storage. This metal medicine-inspired container is perfect for storing anything from craft supplies to bathroom essentials.
Papier-Mâché Stag Head
The animal head trend is still going strong. This version with a newsprint covering would feel right at home in an office or a library.
Ferm Living Black Harlequin Pillow
Graphic pillows, like this harlequin design, look great on their own or bunched up in a grouping.
Dots Multi Garland
I'll never tire of colorful garlands. They make a space feel happy and festive without too much work.
Weathered Wall Book Rack
When I first laid eyes on this book rack, I thought it would be a great storage solution for the piles and piles of magazines laying around my place. If your kitchen has the space, it would be a lovely storage option for your prettiest cookbooks too.
School Bus Bookends
With five kids in the house, there is a plethora of children's books everywhere. I love the idea of carving out little spaces on grown-up shelves for something like this to store their favorites.
Recycled Canvas Play Tent
Children love any kind of fort, tepee or tent. The industrial material of the fabric used on this tepee makes it something you could stand to have out for longer than a single rainy afternoon.
Ferm Living Organic The Village 3 Pillow
It's easy to add a bit of whimsy to your home with sweet accent pillows like this little house-shaped one.
Dot Matrix Rug
The colors and texture of this felt ball rug are fantastic. Don't you just want to touch it?
Camp Throw Pillow, Racoon
I can see this little guy propped up on your favorite chair, nestled next to a roaring fire.
World Map Corkboard
A map bulletin board is educational for the kids and beautifully designed for mom and dad.
Ferm Living ABC House WallSticker
I'm a big fan of the simple black and white color combination. This vinyl ABC decal would not be hiding in my children's rooms.
Industrial Pipe Shelf
Can you believe this shelf was found in the "Baby and Child" department? It's so modern and so cool. It's definitely a piece that can be enjoyed by design fans of all ages.
Star Egg Nightlight, Navy
You don't have to be 5 years old to appreciate the stars. This pretty lamp creates constellations on your walls, even on the cloudiest nights.
Varigated Grey Pouf
I would happily place a few of these knitted poufs around the family room to cozy things up. The heather gray color keeps it neutral enough to fit in any space.
