Oh, to be a kid again, to play in a tepee (in your own bedroom!), nap in a flower field (or cozy floral bedding), cuddle a cactus (throw pillow, that is).

These flights of fancy are possible with Pillowfort, Target's new kid-centric line of linens, furniture, lighting and decor. Featuring more than 1,200 pieces in a variety of thematic patterns and prints — “Ocean Oasis,” “Tropical Treehouse,” “Camp Kiddo” — the collection includes everything from felted animal head wall accessories to pompom-adorned sheets to fun, modern lighting. (A gold Polynesian-style pineapple lamp? Yes, please.)

The Pillowfort line is more reasonably priced than most boutique brands — decor and bedding from $4.99 to $59.99, and furniture from $39.99 to $599.99 — but perhaps its biggest draw is balance of the kid-pleasing and practical.

“The challenge for moms and dads is building a room that feels like an extension of their house and incorporating the personality of their kids,” says Julie Guggemos, Target's senior vice president of product design and development, in a promo video.

If you've ever seen “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” you know how interior designers often play up the latter (Your kid loves NASCAR? How about an all-NASCAR room with race car bed!), while more or less ignoring the former (Whoops! Your child's bedroom is completely off-track, design-wise, from the rest of the house.)

What makes the Pillowfort pieces integrate so well? We chalk it up to clean lines, modern shapes and subtle sophistication, as well as a handcrafted look that's on-trend. That cactus throw pillow? It appears hand-stitched, while the “Adventure Awaits” wall decor seems hand-lettered (and so on). It's like a Pinterest board come to life, without having to expend all the effort.
