Just because it’s the bedroom where junior sleeps doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make it dreamy. Thankfully, the gals (Melisa Fluhr and Pam Ginocchio) from Project Nursery have a few decorating ideas to share. So whether your kid is into bold colors or chic safari motifs, here are 10 cool kids room designs that are guaranteed to even make grown-ups swoon.
Sizzling Colors. Children are never boring so why should their rooms be? Consider embracing today’s hot color combos to complement your child’s shining personality. Here designer Andrika King infuses a white room with bright fuchsia and orange bedding and accessories. She then takes this punch of color up a notch with unexpected, bold painted moldings.

Dual-Purpose Beds. As your tots grow, so does their need for floor space when it comes time to play with toys and friends. A mattress positioned against the wall acts like a sofa during the day allowing for playtime and a bed at night. Rebecca Propes of Petite Party Studio creates her very own DIY palette beds perfect for the pint-sized men in her life.

Beach Boy. This is the number one theme in boy’s rooms nationwide! Could it be that parents are hoping calm waters and ocean breezes may have positive side-affects? From seaside cottages to So. Cal surfers, all it takes is a touch of citrus hues paired with navy or aqua (here by Anthology Interiors) to make a room summer-y all-year round.
