Decorating a child’s room can be an unnerving task, requiring striking the perfect balance between providing an engaging space that sparks their interest and encouraging restful nights’ rest.
Utilizing paint effects on a headboard and window dressings is an easy way to add personality, even something as basic as mountain landscapes or cotton-wool clouds can instantly give them their own distinct character.
Pegboard
If your kids enjoy arts and crafts projects, consider using a wall-mounted pegboard by Robson Rak as an ideal workspace. Kid-friendly yet easily adaptable as interests change over time, this wall-mounted version makes a wonderful creative outlet!
Kids who love traveling can unleash their inner adventurer with a bedroom design that honors them as explorers, like decorating with big world maps, cute globe and compass decor pieces and shelves or storage solutions with airplane and train imagery.
Paint effects can add flair and creativity to any room with minimal maintenance needs. A few quick strokes of paint can transform a surface into mountain landscape, seascape, or fluffy cotton-wool clouds!
Window Seat
Window seats provide a cozy spot for reading and relaxing, making the playroom of Cameron Ruppert even more suitable for sleepovers and overnight guests.
Removable cushions are essential in busy families, enabling you to quickly switch out soiled or worn cushion covers with new ones when necessary and maintain the beauty of this upholstered bench from Becca Interiors for longer.
Add warmth and coziness to any bedroom by accenting a tiny corner window area with a fluffy rug, thick cushion seating area and colorful throw pillows. For the bold and adventurous, consider adding shutters to your windows in Edmonton for a more traditional look, or maximize your view with a large sunken window seat.

Cosy Canopy Bed
Bed canopies might seem old-school in design terms, but when combined with modern colors they can look fresh and contemporary. This simple black metal frame features a minimalist appearance which can be enhanced further with curtains for a different feel or left bare for an alternative appearance.
A bedroom canopy can make any space feel cozier, especially when draped with soft curtains in an intimate shade that complements your room’s linens such as dusty blue. You could also try going bold by choosing an orange canopy as well.
Make her room even more whimsical by adding a canopy decorated with pompom balls – it will bring an air of playful charm into her space at any age! A DIY project she will surely love!
Neutral Walls
Neutral kids bedroom ideas will allow your child to express themselves freely through personal style and interests. Warm shades of gray can easily fit into Scandinavian-inspired color schemes as well as pastel tones.
Bright colors such as electric purple can quickly become overwhelming when overused; for a striking contrast, consider using it sparingly to add interest. In the bedroom shown here, charcoal grey sets off its red bedspread and accent pillows perfectly, creating an eye-catching combination.
Wall murals can add a playful element to a child’s room and reflect his or her individuality, whether that’s through maps, cartoon characters or fun patterns like those seen here.
Storage
Children’s rooms provide an ideal opportunity to be creative with storage solutions and incorporate themes that make the space cohesive. Nix suggests purchasing decor from brands such as EO for quirky pieces that add unique character and repurposing existing furniture pieces such as credenzas or buffets into designs that complement your home’s overall design scheme.
In this small kids’ room, an IKEA picture ledge serves as both an attractive display area for artwork as well as an easily updateable way to change out frames as children’s tastes evolve without needing an entire room redo.
Artwork
Decorating touches add flair and personality to children’s rooms without going over the top. Even princess-themed rooms can be tailored using plush velvet headboards and placing fairy lights at an appropriate height.
Utilize patterns in bedding, rugs and wall art to create a lively and eclectic room that will grow with them. Geometric prints work particularly well in children’s bedrooms.
Display their toys like decor to help children feel included and surrounded by beauty. Designer Zoya Bograd (opens new tab) created an innovative solution that keeps their favorite pieces visible without cluttering up the floor, encouraging children to play more often with lesser-used ones and keeping their repertoire fresh.
