Embrace the Whimsy

Mismatched art looks effortless and cool. Use decorative washi tape to hang—and quickly swap out—artwork and photos on the walls. Sprinkle in a few framed pieces and prop canvases against the wall for an eclectic vibe.

Find Versatile Items

Jessica arranged four low bookcases to look like a built-in. Combined, the units do triple duty: Create a seating area, provide storage, and form a kid-height surface for crafting.

Add Depth With Paint

White walls are a neutral backdrop for the kids’ colorful creations. To make the hallway appear longer and taller, Jessica painted a dark border along the upper trim—try Valspar’s Fait Accompli. Green storage bins echo the landscaping outside the window.
