Who among us can resist the appeal of lemon drops, pinwheel suckers, chocolate kisses and other sweet somethings? Candy isn’t just a treat for the tongue; it’s a feast for the eyes as well. And though you may assume it’s appropriate only for kiddos’ rooms, there are approaches to give it a grown-up demeanor. Have a look at these sugary spaces for inspiration.
Laura Bendik Interiors
Sweet-tooth accents and a palette of advanced brights give this playroom/media space lots of child appeal. A cheery plot works especially well for a space which has little to no natural lighting.

Here is another view of the exact same room. Actual lollipops ordered as decorative beams, and oversize toy balls in apothecary jars, execute the theme.
Isolina Mallon Interiors
Subtle sucker-print wallpaper feels youthful but not juvenile. It can transition to the tween years without missing a beat.
Branca, Inc..
There’s the restrained approach to candy-theme decor, like this peppermint-stripe bedding …
… and then there’s full-on sugar shock. This sweets-studded nursery takes its inspiration from some giant mural of the classic Candyland board game on one wall.
Look closer: Jars of sweets on the dresser pick up the rainbow colours in the mural, a smart and affordable accent (at least before the baby is old enough for them to become choking hazards). The mirror reveals a candy cane ceiling therapy.

This distance takes precisely the exact same tactic in an entirely different direction: Jars of green and yellow candies on the coffee table enhance the palette and add a lighthearted touch.
