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:
When you think of decorating a kids room, I think your mind instinctively goes to white and bright colours. I’ve been thinking a lot about colours for Anya’s new room which I will be decorating as soon as the builders are out of our new home. My initial instinct was to go with lots of white and add touches of pink and grey, maybe black too. But recently I have been coming across darker and dreamy kids rooms and I am loving them more than I thought possible. There is something so magical about these rooms that bright colours just don’t bring. Each of these rooms are different but the one thing they have in common is that dreamy canopy which I want for Anya’s room. So now I am re-thinking the whole thing. Here are some magical kids rooms all with that dreamy must-have canopy that are really inspiring me at the moment:
This was the room that first inspired me. This room is a styled room as are many below but the overall look can be recreated in a kids room and how magical would it be. Right from the choice of the bear poster to the dark wall. I absolutely love it – of course you could choose any dark tones, not stick with blues and greys. I’m thinking dark greys and deep, dark and dusky pinks for Anya. This room has been created by a Norwegian Interiors shop called Olen Mobel.
What a dreamy room! Not as dark as the first one but this room has bags of magic and personality. This is certainly not your typical decor for a girls room but I love it so much with the choice of wallpaper, the ornate gold frame and the rug. It’s also a room that your little girl won’t outgrow in a hurry. This beautiful girls room is totally inspiring me right now!
Another inspiring and magical kids rooms. There’s something about all these rooms that transports you to an imaginary world where anything feels possible and what could be better for a kids space? The concrete floor may be a step too far but I love the rustic clothes hanger, the vintage metal bed the colour tones in this room.
Soft greys perfectly compliment the dusky pinks and whites in this magical girls room. Of course the massive windows complete the look but sadly we can’t all have those. I love the addition of the vintage desk and the decor balls casually hung at the end of the bed. And of course that beautiful canopy just completes the look.
All of these rooms feel like you’ve stepped in to a fairytale but not in the traditional way. They feel like a magical world where anything is possible and I can’t think of anything more appropriate for a kids room. A lot of the decor in these rooms is by Numero74 and they are the best kids decor brand that I have come across to add that magic touch to a kids room. What do you think? Would you consider a room like this or do you prefer bright colours for a kids room?
If you’re not in to bold, bright colours but on the other hand find white spaces too blah, pastels can work really well for your nursery or kids room. With pastels you can choose to go with just one tone keeping it more minimal or you can mix a range of pastel shades to create a more colourful room. Here are 5 pastel rooms to inspire you:
This is a beautiful minimal space by Aurelie Lecuyer with pastel walls that are complimented with pastel accessories like the bedding and cushions. I love how the colours don’t take over the room but instead it’s that vintage cot that really shines and everything else works so well with it.
Here are some beautiful vintage kids rooms to inspire you today. The floral wallpapers, the vintage beds, the little pompoms and garlands all come together to create spaces that are so charming. While I love them all, my favourite is the second one with that gorgeous wallpaper and the almost faded Autumnal colour scheme. Vintage rooms don’t get much prettier than these, don’t you think?
