The challenge: Defining a space that would grow with the girls and actually have some character. Color lovers, you're in for a treat. This space needed to lean on pieces that would inject a bright and energetic vibe into the room.

It's all about the color-hot pink, turquoise, bright green-for the girls. Upholstered headboards, bedding, and decorative pillows in Sunbrella fabric are both durable and pretty. The upholstered ottomans at the foot of the bed provide extra seating.

Choosing a palette that the girls wouldn't outgrow was key. Cue the green, turquoise, and white. Let's face it, even girls get sick of too much pink.

Here's a treat: The swinging chair, which is the most sought-after seat on the third floor, serves as a comfortable reading nook or a place where sisters can share secrets.

A sectional slides in to offer plenty of seating, while not blocking the view from the window. Decorative pillows add bursts of color in sophisticated patterns. A comfy, oversized chair is the perfect resting spot for reading, watching the sunrise, or getting lost in the view.

Turquoise is a natural hue for a beach home. Pair it with hot pink for a fresh palette.
