What is is about polka dots that is so appealing?  I adore them and they are going to be a big part of decorating my new home.  Polka dots on clothes are fab but they’re also so fun as decorations for any room in the house.  You can use a few or lots, big ones or small ones, colourful or monochrome – they just work.  There is no room that can’t benefit with polka dotted decor but I especially love them for a kids room – both for boys and girls.  Decorating with polka dots is an inexpensive way to add a bit of fun and lots of style to a room and polka dots are so easy to decorate with as they go with any kind of decor.  Here are 7 inspiring rooms that show us just how to make polka dots work:

polka dot decorations for a bedroom

Big, black polka dot stickers decorate one side of this adorable room.  The dots are just randomly stuck on to the walls – not in any pattern – making them even more interesting.  And they also make the prints and the big round rug stand out more.

polka dot bedding kids

From big, black polka dots on the wall to bold polka dot bedding.  I love this shared boys room which mixes different graphic shapes and bold colours so well.  The black polka dot bedding really pops against those bright yellow shelves.

If you prefer having a little colour in the room, polka dots are great for doing just that.  Like in this little boy’s nursery above, a few bright dots can add a splash of colour to a room and also these dots really make that cute toy shelf stand out. 

polka dot wall decals for kids room

Big and colourful polka dots work just as well for a bolder statement.  Instead of a headboard this simple washi tape house shape is brought to life with those multi-coloured dots.  I love how the dots have been added to the chair as well to complete the playful look.

black polka dot wallpaper

I love the clutter and chaos of this room – after all kids never keep their rooms looking perfect, do they?  Here, among all the many toys, shapes and wall decorations they’ve gone for one simple wall of small polka dots.  Even though there is so much happening in this room, the dots make a little statement of their own and totally add to the look of this room.  Love it!

gold polka dot wall decals

Gold is a colour so under-used for a kids room, especially a little girls room.  One of the best ways to add a touch of gold is by using gold polka dot wall decals like they’ve done in the room above.  The gold doesn’t take over but instead looks chic and stylish. 

decorating with polka dots

Even the most minimal of rooms can benefit with some polka dots like this minimal nursery.  I love that they’ve used two different sized polka dots to make even more of an impact.  This idea of using different sized dots can be brought to life in so many ways.

The best thing about decorating with polka dots is that there are no rules and no age limits.  You can go as minimal or as full on as you like.  Polka dots work with any decor and they’re such a simple way of adding a little chic, playful style to any room especially a kids room.

It’s no secret that I’m keen on my monochrome tones when it comes to interiors or fashion and maybe even in every other aspect of my life.  I am naturally drawn to cool whites, minimal greys and beautiful black.  But there is one other colour that has recently begun creeping in to my life; a colour I never thought I would be drawn to but it’s it’s really appealing to me right now.  And that colour is pink.

I’ve always thought of pink as something a bit too sugary sweet but I’m changing my mind because there are so many shades of pink out there.  While I’m still not a fan of the brighter pinks, the softer tones are just beautiful when done right.  I’ve been considering a dirty pink sofa for our living room (although sadly Richard isn’t playing along!).  But in Anya’s room, I know I will indulge in my new love for pink and I may just sneak a bit in to our bedroom too.  I went looking for some pink bedrooms for kids and I found so many beautiful shades to play with.  These rooms have a lot of pink so I don’t think many would consider them for a boy but would you consider a hint of pink for a boys room?  Here are some gorgeous pink girls rooms to get you inspired:

light pink girls bedroom decor

This pink girls room is so cute!  There’s lots of light pink in this room but it works because it’s beautifully complemented and balanced with the grey.  Having two-tone walls is a great way to have lots of pink in a room without it looking too much.

This little girls room ticks every box for me.  They’ve added lots and lots of pink decorations in different shades of pink balanced with lots of black and white.  The black and white is a great backdrop for the pink as it really makes the pink stand out. 

pink bedroom decorating ideas for little girl

There’s no hiding from the pink in this room but even with so much of it, it doesn’t end up looking all too much.  The shade of pink used here is the thing that works – soft, dusty pink in abundance looks so pretty and stylish. 

pink and gold decor ideas

While I love monochromes with pink, another colour that works so well with pink is gold.  Little touches of sparkly gold add fun and magic to a room.  This sweet room is mostly pink including some pink furniture and those little gold accents come to life so well against all the pink.

dirty pink girls bedroom

One of my favourite shades of pink is this kind of dirty pink.  If the softer, pinkier pinks don’t work for you, then this shade of pink is a great alternative especially if you little girl is keen on pink and you’re not.  This room isn’t nearly as girly as the others, but it has so much charm and character.  Dirty pink is a great colour not just for kids but for adult spaces too.

These five pink girls rooms are all so pretty but never over the top.  I’m fully converted to the idea of using shades of pink around the home – I just need to convince Richard!  Would you consider pink beyond a child’s room?

colourful kids bedrooms

There are some kids rooms you come across that instantly bring a big smile to your face.  They evoke a feeling of happiness by their cuteness and their super bright colour scheme.  There is something refreshing about seeing a kids room where there are no rules, where a load of colours have been thrown together and almost anything goes.  I’m not talking about the odd pop of colour or a few complimenary shades – I mean rooms where there is practically every colour under the sun!  If you’re thinking of brightening up your children’s rooms then these colourful kids rooms will definitely inspire you and they’ll also add a ray of sunshine to your day!

Could this room be any more cheerful?  Loosely themed around Summer with all the fresh fruit, ice-cream and colourful decorations, this room screams happiness!

How crazy cute is this vintage kids room?  Crammed with stuff and crammed with colour, this room is such a quirky and fun space for a little kid.

This room has slightly softer colours than the first two rooms but there’s definitely no shortage of colour here!  Yellow, pink, blue, green, purple, orange – it’s all going on here and it looks fantastic.

Colourful rooms aren’t just for girls.  Big, bold solid colours like these yellows, blues and reds look stunning in a boys room too and they make for such a cheerful room.

Here we have colour from floor to ceiling and clashing coloured wallpapers too.  Yes this room is bold and busy but it’s definitely a stunning eye catcher too.  And what I also love is that this room works well for boy or girl.

Colourful, playful, cheerful and fun!  This room again has so many colours that you wouldn’t normally think of using together but it looks great.

So are you tempted to add lots of colour to your kids rooms?

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.

grey boys bedroom ideas

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!

grey bedroom decor ideas

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 kids room ideas

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.

colourful kids room

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?

Ages ago I bought a large cardboard igloo for Anya.  I had stored it away and completely forgotten about it until we moved house a month ago.  As soon as she spotted it, she wanted to put it up and so we did over the Christmas holidays.  This igloo has become her favourite little space in the whole house.  She reads in there, plays in there, hides in there and even takes her quilt and pillow and has a little rest in there.  Of course any kid loves a ‘secret’ hiding place and this igloo has so reminded me of that.  Actually I don’t think you can ever be too young or too old to want a little hiding place!  So when we do up Anya’s room in our new home, I know that I will be creating a tipi corner for her.  While the igloo is lovely it is very large so a tipi will be far more practical as it doesn’t take up nearly much room.  With that in mind, I went looking for some tipi corner inspiration and here are my favourites:

"black and white tipi corner kids room"

I love the simplicity of this teepee and the way it has been decorated in shades of white and black with just a simple string of lights.  This might be for a kids room but it would look equally great in a living space if you wanted to create a cosy corner for all the family to enjoy.

"pink tipi for girls room"

This is such a gorgeous and girly room and the dusty pink teepee just adds to the feminine vibes of the room.  I love how most of the room is white but the pink teepee just adds that splash of colour.

"teepee for kids room"

While I always think I prefer plain coloured fabrics, it’s when I see prints and patterns mixed like this that I start re-thinking.  I love this printed teepee that looks so great with all the other patterns surrounding it.  This space works perfectly for a boy or girl so would be great for a shared room.

"ideas for DIY kids teepee"

Teepee’s aren’t actually that hard to make so you could make your own and then mix and match a range of fabrics like they’ve done on this one above.   These pretty floral fabrics look great all together especially against the geometric rug and cushions.

Even if your child’s room doesn’t have space for a teepee, I really would be tempted to put one in a shared family space like a corner of the living room.  I think once we get Anya’s room done with a teepee in there, it won’t be just her using it – I can picture me spending hours in there playing games with her or just reading books to her.  Do you have a teepee in your home?
