Top 5 Kids Room Decorating Ideas on Pinterest

These days, it’s so easy to make your home look like it deserves its own spread in Good Housekeeping, especially when it comes to kids’ room ideas, the possibilities are boundless! Luckily for you, there are many websites, such as Pinterest, that have an entire online community contributing inventive ideas all in one place.

Check out our top 5 favorite kids’ room ideas on Pinterest below:

1. DIY Bookshelves – When it comes to children’s rooms, a large, bulky bookshelf is highly unnecessary. With curtain rods, brackets and any fabric of your choosing, you can easily make DIY book slings for all of your little ones favorite reads. Incredibly customizable and easy to make, these makeshift book slings will eliminate the need for traditional, oversized bookshelves, opening the room and creating more space for playtime.





2. Unique Bed Frames – Car bed frames and princess canopies are classics when it comes to outfitting your child’s sleeping area, but if you’re looking for ideas that are a little more unique, creative and modern, Pinterest is a great place to look. We love the idea of a house-shaped bed frame or a teepee lounge area since kids love playing house and building forts. With numerous DIY guides, making a teepee is incredibly easy and fun. Your kids will love creating their very own teepee, helping to pick out the fabric and deciding exactly where it will go in their room!





3. A Rug that Pops – Flooring choices are usually one of the last few items on the list when it comes to decorating kids’ rooms. Usually, the walls and furniture take precedence over the floor. However, a bright, colorful area rug designed especially with kids in mind adds dimension and texture to a room for not a lot of money. It also creates a soft surface for play time, reading and any other activities they love to do. There are endless types and styles available from safari animal themed to letter and number rugs, and even music-inspired carpets. The best part is that simply switching out the area rug can change the look and feel of any room.





4. Traditional White Walls - While we’re on the subject of incorporating bright colors in the overall design of a kid’s room, a growing trend we love is sticking to classic white walls. When it comes to choosing paint colors, many people are drawn to cutesy pastels or even decorative wall paper covered with baby animals and race cars. Keeping the walls of a room white helps to make the space feel bigger, more open, and is the perfect canvas for the rest of the room to be designed around. Contrast stark white walls with brightly-colored decorations like fun throw pillows, area rugs, and even art on the walls. And when it comes time to update the room, simply change out the smaller aspects instead of having to repaint, or even worse, remove wall paper that your kid has out-grown.





5. DIY Wall Art – Let your creativity shine by adorning the walls with art work you and your kids create together. Not only will they have fun making their own wall art, they will love the one-on-one time they get to spend with you. An added bonus: personalized wall art makes perfect keepsakes for when your kids are all grown up! Some of the cutest ideas we’ve found on Pinterest are these simple monogrammed wall art and puffer fish paintings that use a fork instead of a paintbrush.
