The chic Mediterranean beaches featured in Gray’s La Dolce Vita series may not be the first thing that jumps to mind when thinking of kids’ room décor, but hear us out. The seaside getaways have all the glamour, elegance, and sophistication you could ask for in a print to hang in any adult space, but they’re also full of colorful umbrellas, whimsical pastel fishing boats, and landscapes that look like something straight out of a fairytale. If you love this series for the rest of your home, there’s no reason to stop when it comes time to decorate a nursery or playroom. With the right styling, these prints are perfectly youthful and irreverent, and ideally suited for the walls of a little one’s room. Keep scrolling to see our top picks to add a pop of Italian charm to a kids’ room…

1. Portofino Harbor Boats

Think of this print as the elevated version of the toy boats your kids play with in the bathtub. The bright pops of color will make this a standout piece in just about any room, but we especially love how it complements an otherwise neutral nursery like the one pictured. Wherever you choose to display it, the punchy pastel shades will add a playful touch.

3. Multicolor Chairs, Cinque Terre

The clean lines of this print will add some organization to a potentially chaotic space, while the bright pops of color from the beach chairs keep it from feeling too stuffy. We love the idea of pairing this print with plenty of color and pattern, for a look that is youthful, fun, and imaginative. (P.S. Pair with an iridescent ottoman like Oh Joy! did for bonus points.)

4. Positano Beach Vista & Rimini Orange Umbrellas

How fun are these pops of orange in an otherwise subdued nursery? We love the thought of combining two similarly-hued prints, like these orange umbrellas from the La Dolce Vita collection, with a contrasting wallpaper. If the patterns on the prints are subtle, like these stripes, it can add a pop of color without detracting from the bolder wallpaper print behind it. Need more guidance on how to mix patterns? Look no further than this article or this one. You’re welcome!

5. Riccione Mutlicolor Umbrellas

When it comes to kids décor, rainbows are never a bad idea. This joyful print is the perfect accent to a blank wall. We especially love the larger sizes for an even bigger visual impact. This would be a great piece to add to a playroom for a touch of whimsy.
