The American Heritage Dictionary defines whimsical as,
marked by playful whim or caprice; fanciful. Whimsical is
definitely fanciful and full of imagination since pieces are
comprised of bright colors and unusual patterns.

Whimsical is a fun and lively way to decorate any room in
the house, especially a childs room. Its a great way to
inspire the imagination and create something that will be
treasured time and time again. When you think whimsical, you
need to think about loads of color. A room decorated in
this style is bathed from head to toe in different colors
and patterns.

The type of colors chosen would depend on individual taste,
but bold, vibrant, and pastel colors are fabulous choices.
If possible, try to stick to the same hue of colors. For
example, if you use vibrant colors, make sure every color
you choose is vivid.

Furniture pieces for children come in playful colors and
themes, such as a red, blue, green, and yellow musical
rocking chair, a bright red sofa sleeper with blue and
yellow pillows, a bright yellow and blue sleeper with a
starfish pattern, wooden storage chest in a pastel pink,
bright pink and purple polka-dot table and chairs,
firefighter table and chairs with a firefighter storage box
and working bell, firefighter toy box bench with a unique
firehouse design, a pink/gold princess bed, a brilliant red,
yellow, and blue fire engine bed, a bright orange storage
bench, and more. You can even find accessories, lighting,
wall art, rugs, comforters, and linens in very colorful
designs and patterns.
