Kid’s Rooms: Inspired Transformations

Does your child’s room need a makeover? Is space limited, the color drab, and the fun-factor missing? Do you have plenty of desire but lack inspiration? Well, get ready to be inspired. Our lineup of cool, cute, dreamy and fun-themed rooms are sure to spark a flame of inspiration in you! Remember, you do not have to completely replicate a single room; draw inspiration from several rooms, picking and choosing what works for you to create the kind of room that fits your dream and budget.

The Princess Is In
Almost every girl dreams of being a princess, so why not create a special retreat for your special princess, a place where she can dream of princes and reign over her teddy bears with charming demands.

Speaking of dreams, this lovely wall mural will become the gateway to all sorts of imaginary adventures for the special princess in your life. The curtains add to the charm, making it a window into the land of dreams.

Cinderella lives again! No details have been left out in this enchanting room! While you may not be able to replicate the amazing bed/coach, if you know someone who is handy with wood tools, they may be able to help create a simpler version of Cinderella’s room that works for you.

Many children love to have a space of their own to enjoy as a special retreat, and this bunk bed offers the perfect solution with the bed on top and a cozy reading or play area below. One of the best features is that it allows your little princess to leave a few toys set up or her favorite book laying out without leaving the room looking cluttered. Close the curtain, and the room appears to be in perfect order.

Pretty in purple…or any other color. This fairly basic room is sparked up with some simple circles painted above the bed in addition to the stripes painted onto the floor. While this color scheme is very feminine, the same idea could be done using bright colors to create a bolder, more boyish look. The corner shelves are a great way to add storage in what can otherwise be an awkward room space. Find used shelves at a thrift store and paint them to match the room colors.

Definitely more practical than princess, this room has some fantastic features! First, notice all the storage. The lounge area provides a comfortable place to relax during the day without messing up the bed. If you are wondering how to actually get on the bed, check out the next picture. Such cleverness!

Boys will be Boys

Head to the races with a car-inspired bed and road signs. This room is great for the slightly older boy who dreams of getting his own set of wheels one day!

The versatility of white walls seems endless. A room can be quickly transformed simply by changing accessories, thereby avoiding a big paint job. This room is a great example with its white walls, floors, and shelves. Pops of color take away any hint of boredom.

Did this help to get some creative ideas flowing? Grab a paintbrush, go to the store, gather up treasures and get to work! Your child will soon have a fantastic haven that is uniquely his!
