My Beautiful Room: Create, Decorate & Style

This interactive primer invites readers to create their dream bedrooms using interior design tips and techniques. Orchard and Whitworth discuss floor plans, furniture, and how to use color, pattern, and texture to build a functional and visually pleasing room (“Green can be calming or make a room feel dark, depending on the shade”). Cover flaps unfold to form the walls and floor of a room that readers can fill with press-out furniture and accent piece stickers, which children can color and decorate. The activities, which include several pages to color and a mood board spread, should help get readers thinking creatively about how to tackle their own living spaces. Ages 9–up. (Sept.)
