Colour in the Kids’ Room

Cool aquamarine blasts a little fun into a little one’s space.

Yes, teal is back. But it’s not the muddy, heavy variety that was so popular in the ’90s. (A colour once so popular, it was actually my class colour in university. Just imagine a teal leather jacket. And then stop.)Instead, think bright and light aquamarine: perfectly showcased on this Gemma Campaign Drawer Chest from Pottery Barn Kids. (Big news: the newest store set to open at Calgary’s Chinook Centre on May 29, 2015). The drawer set is perfectly playful for a child’s bedroom, but gets a slight air of sophistication from the bronze corners and classic pulls down from the front—a bureau that’s set to grow with the little miss or mister as they become a more mature teen.Gemma Campaign Drawer Chest, $1,355, potterybarnkids.ca
