Pretty patterns in a children's bedroom

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My little girls share a room and my cheeky youngest one has just moved out of her cot which has given me the perfect excuse for some re-decorating, ANY EXCUSE! This means I'm looking for a little new inspiration (cue: an excuse to spend hours on <a href="http://pinterest.com/nikiatmsh/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, other fab blogs and beautiful online children's shops. One of my favourite stores (as well as my sponsor), <a href="http://www.ferm-living.com/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=myscandinavianhome" target="_blank">Ferm Living</a> is never short of ideas for little children's rooms.

One thing I have definitely decided on is the <a href="http://www.inke.nl/shop/product/behangboom-1?lang=EN" target="_blank">Inke Heiland April tree</a> for their wall, so pretty! <br /><br />PS This is not a sponsored post, I just loved this little room and had to share the space and my ideas :)<br /><br />PPS For those of you more interested in big people things - how about this fab online shop <a href="http://www.rocknrolllondon.se/" target="_blank">'rock n roll London'</a> for vintage statement pieces in brass and metallics where 'more is more'?!
