Basic wall and floor colors provide a versatile base for many different styles.
The best room design ideas for kids are versatile enough to change along with a child's changing tastes. You can throw thousands of dollars into a princess bedroom for a 5-year-old, but chances are she'll want a different style in another five years. Designs that combine large basic elements, such carpeting, along with small decorative elements, such as themed bedding, provide a room that's attractive now and easy to redecorate in the future. Does this Spark an idea?
Princess Bedroom
A princess-themed room design doesn't have to cost a fortune to make a little girl feel like true royalty. Burgundy carpet and cream walls with pink moldings provide a versatile and warm base for the bedroom. A dark-wood, colonial-style set with a four-poster bed, night table, desk, chair and dresser provides sturdy furniture that will last for years. Pink curtains with rose tiebacks create attractive window treatments, and cartoon princess pictures in wood frames create attractive wall decorations.
Try cream sheets with a pink and burgundy rose-patterned blanket and matching pillows. A round, gold-crown-topped canopy consisting of long pieces of white tulle, pink tulle and burgundy ribbon hangs above the pillow-area of the bed. The canopy curtains cascade down the back and sides of the bed. A pink lamp with a golden crown-shaped shade decorates the night table, and frog-stuffed animals decorate the top of the princess- and crown-painted pink toy box.
Wilderness Bedroom
A wilderness-themed bedroom is easy to create if you use removable wall stickers to provide decorative details. Wall stickers, or appliques, are decorative plastic shapes you can secure over a flat surface and remove as needed without worry of damage. Forest-green carpet, sky-blue walls and a sky-blue ceiling provide a basic earthy base for the room design. Large tree- and small-animal-shaped wall stickers provide a wild-forest theme, and glow-in-the-dark star ceiling stickers provide a starry night theme.
A basic log bed, night table, dresser and toy box are sturdy furniture that enhance the wilderness theme. Leaf-patterned bedding and curtains provide a cozy forest accent. A tree-shaped lamp with a leafy shade decorates the night table, and stuffed animals decorate the bed. A stump-shaped table with matching stools provides a drawing area, and a log-framed corkboard provides a display area.
Spotted Bedroom
Combine gender-neutral colors and assorted spots to create a unisex kids room with a modern style. White walls, blue carpets and simple black furniture provide a subtle base to complement large splashes of color. Black linens with an orange, green, blue, red, yellow, white and black spotted blanket and matching curtains provide more color.
Assorted green, blue and yellow wall applique spots and colorful round picture frames provide wall decorations. An overlapping red and orange spotted rug provides decoration for the area in front of the bedroom door. Colorful round baskets on black shelves provide storage and tie into the spotted theme.
