The Changing Room

Olli & Lime Children’s Decor

A sweet nursery rhyme motif quickly gave way to her favorite colors, which changed as soon as the paint dried.

You’re over it.

Try, try again with Olli & Lime’s wallpaper, organic bedding, and matching prints. The UK brand can be found in only three shops stateside, and we’ve got one of them. Peek at the samples and swatches, place your order, and within a month you’ll get the goods.

Styles range from Billie, a modern pattern of curves and circles; George, straight lines with circles; and Egg, a midcentury-meets-the-’70s design. All have a sophisticated subtlety that won’t grow old, even as your little one does.

Which means there’s no room to complain.

Available at Chulamama, 320 Derby Street, Salem (978-741-4600 or chulamama.com); online at olliandlime.com.
