Unexpected Kid's Bed Linen

The sheets, blankets, pillows and cushions you choose for your child's bedroom doesn't have to be garish, branded and predictable! We love the idea of using pattern and unexpected design elements on kids' beds to help give their room sophistication, a sense of design and a sense of fun!

There are so many great options out there! Why not consider looking away from the children's section in your local department store. Many "adult" designs are available in single and king single sizes, or take a look online for amazing Australian designers who have a unique aesthetic. Here is a handful of great kid's linen that is anything but expected.

Aussie Made Geometric Cushions

[The Print Society]

Cushions are perhaps, one of the most versatile elements in the home when it comes to decorating. They are small, but powerful tools that help you bring colour and pattern into a space while reinforcing the overall look and feel you have planned for that room. They are relatively inexpensive too, which means they can easily be changed up for each season, or when the mood strikes.

At My Sweet Prints we love geometric patterns as they are gender neutral and can be used in any room in the house, be it the playroom, the family room, your study or even the kid's bedroom. Their bold, repetitious forms lend themselves to both fun casual decor or a more formal space.

To help inspire you, we have collected some fabulous geometric cushion designs handmade by some pretty creative Australian designers.
