grey room decor ideas kids

Recently I’ve noticed more and more grey bedrooms for kids and I’m loving it.  I’ve always been a fan of grey for both kids and baby rooms and when combined with lots of white and a pop of colour, it can look quite stunning for boy or girl or even unisex shared rooms.  It’s a colour scheme you won’t tire of and you can always add in more of any colour to brighten or change the room if you want to.  For Anya’s new room I had decided to go black and white with hints of pink but now after coming across so many beautiful grey kids rooms, I’m torn.   These rooms have really inspired me and so I thought I would share a few favourites as they may just inspire you too:

pink and grey girls bedroom ideas

This is one of the prettiest grey bedrooms I’ve come across recently.  There are lots of different shades of grey in this room but using so much grey just makes the other colours and decorations really stand out.  The little hints of pink, the white and the pastel touches all come to life against this sea of grey.

From a girly grey room to a more boyish grey room – grey works so well for both sexes and any age.  Here the shades of grey used are much darker and are complimented with even more grey decorations.  Paired with lots of white this room is very cool for a boy and makes such a nice change from blue!

This mostly white shared kids room uses grey in moderation.  I like the soft, fresh vibe of this room and I love how you could practically add any colour in to this room to add a pop of brightness if you wanted.  This is a unisex room that kids won’t outgrow quickly and will be very easy to update in years to come.  Simple and sweet.

Grey works just as well in large doses as in small doses like this quirky girls room shows.  There’s no hiding from the grey here with completely grey walls and floors.  Some may find this a bit dark but I think its an enchanting and imaginative room.  And the bright pink as well as the unexpected touch of turquoise balance the grey really well. 

grey baby nursery ideas

If I ever have to do up a nursery or advise anyone in future, grey would be my first choice.  If you don’t know what you’re having, there is no better choice than gorgeous grey and you can always add colour accents once the baby arrives.  Grey is a calming colour even when using lots of it as this grey baby nursery shows.

Most of the rooms above have used lots of grey with a hint of other colours but this room shows that you can easily add as much colour  as you want in to a grey room.  This girls room has all grey walls and some grey decor mixed with the brightest accessories and it looks so fun.  Grey doesn’t mean no colour – it just means as much or as little as you want and any colour you want.  Here we’ve got bright pink, yellow, turquoise and more and it all comes together so well.

If you ever thought grey was boring, I hope you’ve changed your mind.  It’s a timeless, ageless shade that can be combined with as much or as little colour as you like.  There are so many shades of grey to play with and so many ways to use grey in a kids rooms – from hints of grey to lots of grey.  Now back to my dilema – go with grey for Anya’s new room or to stick to the original plan of black and white.  What would you do?

5 best shared kids rooms

When it comes to shared kids rooms, bunk beds are the easiest option especially when space is limited.  But I’m not a fan of most bunk beds.  Apart from the safety thing, with a few exceptions, I’m just not crazy about how they look.  Instead I think two beds look so much nicer and often look cosier.  With a little imagination and thought, you can fit them in, even in small bedrooms.   I went looking for some shared room inspiration and here are my favourite finds:

shared kids room small space

This small shared kids room sounds like it was a real labour of love.  The room is only 10 x 12 feet so the mum didn’t want the beds taking up the whole room.  Instead she wanted them against one wall which left playing space even in this small room.  As the beds needed to be shorter then regular singles, they made them and even built in storage – the top panels of the beds can be lifted and the bottom panel acts like a storage box. 

brother and sister shared room ideas

This eclectic shared kids room is bursting with fun and personality.  By using mismatched beds, each child’s area is effortlessly separated without looking like you have two separate areas.  The quirky decor across the room brings it all together and it looks so great too.  This kind of decor is so perfect for a brother and sister shared space too.

This is another small shared kids room.  By placing a large rug in the room, the whole room is brought together in a cheerful and cosy way.  The beds are the same but by using different colours each kid has their own side.  In small space like this one, a single bedside table is another way of making the best use of the space.

boys shared room ideas

This is a room shared by brothers.  While it looks more spacious than some of the other rooms, the space is still maximised by putting the beds at right angles to each other.  This gives a big playing space in the middle, perfect for two little boys.  I like the simple decor as well ensuring that the room grows with the boys and you don’t have to redecorate every couple of years.

This has got to be one of the most fun shared kids rooms I came across.  This room is shared by brothers but it could equally be a unisex shared room or even a room for sisters.  Apart from the cheerful black and white decor with pops of yellow, the idea of using shelves as a headboard is great.  There’s no need for bedside tables and you get a lot more storage space.

"black white and red kids room decor"

Today, lets take a break from the Christmas gift lists and look at some kids room inspiration.  We are moving house next week (eek!) and the new place needs to be done up from scratch.  It hasn’t been decorated in 40 years!  So my brain is swimming with all kinds of decor ideas which I’ve been collecting on my pinterest boards including ideas for Anya’s new room.  While I can’t seem to move away from the whole black and white colour scheme, I’m liking the idea of adding an extra pop of colour especially for a kids room.  Recently I came across the above room and it really inspired me to think about red as the extra colour.  Have you ever considered red for a kids room?  It’s not a colour I would choose as a main one as too much red can be overbearing for me but if used sparingly with lots of white and some black, it can look quite striking.  And red is a great colour for boy or girl so it would be a great choice for a shared room too.  Here are some of my favourite rooms with pops of red:

As these rooms show, you can add splashes of red in many different ways; one piece of red furniture, red bedding, red toys or even just a bold red poster that stands out will do the trick.  Because red is such a bright and vibrant color, you don’t need a lot of it to make an impact.  In the third picture I love the blue, black and white colour scheme which works so well with the bright red poster – something a bit different for a boys room.  And in the last picture just the smallest red accents look so great.  I am really liking this colour scheme for a kids room and maybe this will be the one for Anya’s room. What do you think? Would you consider red as an accent colour?
