The next chapter in the Emily & Meritt for Pottery Barn Kids story is one of playful imagination. Bursting with vintage inspiration, the collection features bold patterns and a touch of sparkle. Classic home essentials are re-imagined to create a magical space for any child to dream and play. Black and white, their signature color palette, can be seen predominately in the collection contrasted with a bold mix of patterns and texture. Delicate details in bedding and textiles create rooms that are modern with a twist of nostalgic whimsy.
In the spirit of adventure, the Little Bandits Mask Print debuts throughout the collection on the Little Bandit Bedding, Crewel Bandit Art and Dress-Up Accessories. Dreamy and feminine pale pinks create the chic and versatile Ta-Da! design aesthetic with Bow Bedding, Sequin Sparkle Tulle Bed Skirt and Sequin Heart Tapestry. The Ta-Da! Mirror Letters and Disco Pedant instantly transform a room with a dash of glamour and just the right amount of sparkle.
“We were excited to create rooms that felt equally nostalgic as unexpectedly new. We loved mixing bold black and white prints with touches of bright optimistic colors, and pairing soft wash pinks back to shiny metallic,” said Emily Current and Meritt Elliott. “We aimed to design spaces that felt magical — inspiring kids to feel creative, playful and heroic. Timeless icons, whimsical creatures and clever giftables were designed with both the adventurous kid and stylish parent in mind.”
“We are thrilled to unveil our newest collection with Emily & Meritt for Pottery Barn Kids, which expands upon the duo’s success from nursery design into kid’s décor,” said Jennifer Kellor, executive vice president of merchandising for Pottery Barn Kids. “As young mothers themselves, Emily and Meritt have perfectly captured the spirit of imagination, while showcasing their signature sophisticated design aesthetic.”
