Statement Bedframe

A bright yellow four-poster bedframe anchors this whimsical and cheery room designed by Chango & Co. "It was a fairly large space and we had a lot of room to work with, which presented a great opportunity for a large statement piece in the center," says creative director Susana Simonpietri of Chango & Co. "We wanted to create a space that felt light, fun and easy but remained timeless and interesting for more mature years ahead."

Eclectic and Bold

In this bedroom for twin 7-year-old girls, designer Kevin Dumais wanted a look that would "feel inspired, but not thematic," while also reflecting the girls' energetic personalities. "We wanted the room to have whimsy without relying on color alone," Dumais says. Tents float over the yellow Jenny Lind beds, the bedside dresser has inlaid pearl, and the fabrics are a daring mix of patterns and textures.

Shades of Blue

Designer Liz Caan chose a palette of blues and purples for this room, with dashes of gold to complete the look. "This young teen girl wanted lots of blues," Caan says. "But we wanted to give the room a little life, so we chose some great lavenders and purples to contrast with the blues."

Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian bedrooms are the way to go for girls with worldly interests. In this room, designer Linda Eyles wanted a "loose and collected" aesthetic as opposed to overly decorated. Eyles draped saris over the four-poster bed and papered the walls in an Arabian-inspired turquoise and metallic gold design. Finally, she decorated the room with family heirlooms for a "fun, layered look."
