Display Toys and Collections

Kids' toys are precious to them — even after they outgrow daily play. That's when you can create a display that honors their objects' importance, elevating stuffed animals and toys in a dedicated but tidy out-of-reach space.

Take Bunk Beds to the Next Level

Bunk beds can be an endless source of creativity: Take ordinary bunks to the next level with fort-like build-outs, curtains, and a bold wallpaper backdrop, like Southern California-based firm Studio Life/Style did.

Go Green

Designer Emily C. Butler explains why a vibrant green is not only an aesthetic choice for a kids room — but an enduring one, too. "Less conventional than your typical navy, this striking green plays well with blue, red, gray, black, and even wood tones, making it the perfect accent color for a bedroom that can easily grow with its inhabitant," she told House Beautiful.

Don't be afraid to mix prints for a dramatic, lively effect. Coordinate the look with a unifying color, as blue was used in this bedroom.

Think Pink

Painting a kid's room pink doesn't have to mean creating a demure space. Consider this room's vibrant alcove done in high-gloss hot pink paint.

Play Up Patterns

Impart a sense of exuberance in a kid's room by decorating with a liberal use of patterns. A teal-and-white polar bear print oilcloth was the source of inspiration behind this lively, exciting space. A patchwork quilt adds to the pattern play.

Make Homework Fun

Encourage diligence when it's time for homework by creating a desk where kids will truly want to sit down and work. This attractive space takes advantage of a cozy corner space with a wall-mounted desk, and a shelf displaying vintage soda bottles.

Fix Up Old Furniture

Give a kids room a truly individual flair with a piece of furniture like no one else has — because you carefully curated it secondhand. The owners of this upstate New York cottage found an iron bed at a yard sale for $40. To complement it, they found a trunk at a thrift store, which they transformed with paint for a perfectly unique and vintage look.

Make a Map Wall

Inspire kids' curiosity about the world — while encouraging their understanding of geography, too — by transforming a wall in the bedroom with a map mural. Use pins or flags to mark where you've been as a family — and where you're going next.

Inspired Industrial

Orange plaid blankets, faux wood-paneled walls, and a sleek black-and-white childhood photo make this room polished, but still cool enough for a kid.

Nursery Nook

Crystal Palecek, cofounder of Rue magazine, her husband, Andrew, had to adapt their cozy San Francisco home to accommodate their son, Benjamin. Space was limited, so the couple turned to an underutilized space — their cluttered walk-in — for the reno. Black and white horizontal stripes elongate the sweet space, giving a greater sense of width. With a cute little crib and star-studded ceiling, we imagine that Benjamin, now two, is sleeping just fine.

Navy and Orange

A nautical-wave rug and orange stripe duvets are a playful pair. Plus, a rope ladder adds a fun touch to these bunk beds.

Sleek Stripes

Jennifer of Delightfully Noted dreamed of a camp-themed space for her one-year-old. Geometric details like the striped rug and check curtains complement the adventure-inspired gallery wall. New cabinets add tons of toy storage and a bright yellow slipcover transforms an old futon from the basement.

Create a Soothing Space

Just because it's a space dedicated to kids doesn't mean it must be colorful and stimulating. Instead, this Hamptons townhouse focuses on creating a serene environment, largely executed in sophisticated whites.
