Choose a pattern that will grow with your child:

While your daughter or son may love action heroes this year, decorating a ceiling fan in colors, or patterns that will only fit their age now, may be limiting. Think of using long term colors and ideas to grow with your child’s changing decor and taste. Stripes work well because they can match many decorative styles. If you do choose a specific age appropriate pattern, be prepared to take on another DIY project in the near future!
