Today I’m starting a new series on some fun home decorating ideas to steal. As I find them, I’ll share one great decor tip or idea that will add style to your home while also being practical and usually easy to do. Most of all the ideas will all be simple, fun and clever. And always a little unexpected!
There are many ways of adding a little bit of magic to a child’s room. One of the best ways I’ve seen has to be this genius idea for a kids room. Simply make a smaller door within the larger door. Instantly, your child’s entire room will feel like their special secret hideout and which kid wouldn’t love that? This idea is truly an example of really thinking outside the box and coming up with something so fun. What do you think? Do you love it?
I’m not a fan of the vintage vibe for the whole home, but kids rooms with vintage touches can be so charming. The best part is that creating a vintage bedroom can be very inexpensive and you don’t need to update too often as vintage never goes out of style. Often, you can repurpose what you already have or else you can find fabulous bargains in junk shops and flea markets. Vintage kids rooms can be seriously stylish and very unique too as you’ll see from all the gorgeous vintage rooms below:
Fairy lights aren’t just for Christmas. They add a little touch of magic and fantasy in any room, especially a kids room. And for a kids room, I always want lots of magic, fantasy and whimsy – a space that feeds the imagination, where endless adventures feel possible. Little twinkling fairy lights do just this. It can be a boys room or a girls room or a shared room – by adding something as simple and inexpensive as fairy lights you can add a touch of magic. Here are a few fun ways to decorate with fairy lights in a kids room:
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:
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.
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.
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.
I think if I ever move to another career it would have to be something to do with decorating babies and kids rooms. I love putting together inspiration and ideas for how to create a beautiful nursery space or a kiddy space. My favourite style is Scandinavian and right now I’m really partial to black and white rooms especially with a subtle hint of another colour. For this mood board I’ve added a dash of pink to brighten up the black and white. Here’s where you’ll find the picks:
