Simplify!
"Gone are the days with overstuffed toy boxes and overstimulating environments. Parents are paring down and opting for clean, fresh, simple rooms," says Bratt Décor's Mary Bauer. "One way to achieve that is to de-clutter. Americans accumulate lots of stuff, and it seems kids have the most stuff of all."
As for a palette? "Use soothing, neutral colors, and soft hues, rather than bold bright colors, which add energy and noise. Clearing out spaces, opting for a few, select special toys, and simplifying your walls and window treatments are a great way to get this feel. Best of all, you don't have to spend any money!"
Take this home: Jennifer Lopez ordered Bratt Décor's quietly elegant Casablanca cribs for her twins, Max and Emme. Prices vary to $847.
