About Pottery Barn Kids
Kids are, and have always been, the inspiration behind what we do. Pottery Barn Kids was founded in 1999 by two moms who were designing their kids' bedrooms and couldn't find comfortable, well-made pieces. Since then, it's been our mission to bring the utmost in quality, comfort, safety and style into every family's home. We're proud to offer our exclusive collection of children's furniture, bedding, decor and accessories at potterybarnkids.com and in more than 90 stores in the US and abroad. From the nursery to the playroom, our collections make it easy to make your house a home.
Our Passion: We believe kids' rooms should be every bit as beautiful, stylish and personal as grown-up spaces. After all, they're setting the stage for some of life's most precious moments, from walking to talking. That's why we take great care to design furniture, bedding and storage solutions that are functional yet beautiful, problem-solving yet simple.
Our Commitment: Every parent wants to feel good about what they put into their kids' rooms, so we're dedicated to creating collections that are safe and sound. Our cribs are safety tested and built from solid wood frames, and some are even GREENGUARD Gold Certified for cleaner indoor air. We also provide a large collection of 100% cotton organic bedding.
Our Designs: Each of our collections and collaborations draw upon our comfortable, casual aesthetic, and are expertly crafted from the best of materials with an eye for child safety standards. For an extra-special touch, many of our products can be personalized with a name or birth date to turn it into a keepsake you'll always hold on to. Our in-house Design Specialists offer complimentary appointments in our stores, at your home or over the phone. From creating a floor plan for a nursery to finding the perfect finishing touch for a child's bedroom, no project is too big or too small.
